Wimbledon

城市概覽

Wimbledon is a well-known and affluent suburb in the southwest of London, England and is part of the London Borough of Merton. It is best known for the All England Lawn Tennis Championships (or often just referred to as Wimbledon) held every summer and which form part of the worldwide tennis grand slam series. This is the oldest tennis championship in the world dating back to the first match in 1877. The other three worldwide tennis grand slam tournaments are the US Open in New York City, the French Open in Paris and the Australian Open in Melbourne.
