Game, set and match.

The Wimbledon tennis championship is the oldest tennis tournament in the world, it has been held at the All England Club in the London suburb of Wimbledon since 1877.
The tournament takes place over two weeks in late June and early July.

In 1875, lawn tennis, a game devised by Major Walter Clopton Wingfield a year or so earlier and originally called 'Sphairistike', was added to the activities of the All England Club.
In the spring of 1877, the club was re-titled 'The All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club' and signalled its change of name by instituting the first Lawn Tennis Championship.
The only event held in 1877 was the Gentleman's Singles, which was won by Spencer Gore, an old Harrovian rackets player. About 200 people paid one shilling each to watch the final.
The club then moved in 1922 to it's present site in Church Road.
In 1884, the All England Club added ladies' singles and gentleman's doubles. Ladies' doubles and mixed doubles were added in 1913. Until 1922, the reigning champion had to play only in the final, against whoever had won through to challenge him.
The Championship was first televised in 1937.

Rafael Nadal is the Gentleman's champion, after defeating Czech Tomas Berdych in straight sets. This is Nadal's second Wimbledon Gentleman's Singles title and the eighth slam of Nadal's career. This is the second time in Nadal's career that he has completed the French Open – Wimbledon double, which he did this back in 2008.
