Wimbledon 2023, the third Grand Slam of the year, is all set to delight tennis fans. The matches will take place at the famous All England Club in Wimbledon, London.
The club boasts 18 official grass courts. The most popular are Centre Court and No. 1 Court. There are also other courts, numbered 1 to 19, except for 13, which is left out because it’s often seen as unlucky.
The tournament runs from July 3 to July 16. This year, all eyes are on Novak Djokovic. He has the chance to tie Margaret Court’s record by winning his 24th Grand Slam. He could also equal Roger Federer’s record for most Wimbledon wins.
Last year’s champion, Elena Rybakina, will be looking to defend her title. Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Svatek are also contenders to watch. It’ll be exciting to see who comes out on top in this prestigious event.

Wimbledon History
In 1868, a club by the name of the All England Croquet Club was established near London. By 1876, under the guidance of British Army officer Walter Wingfield, tennis courts started to sprout on its premises, giving birth to the globally popular game we know today. Following the club’s rebranding to the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in 1877, the first tennis championship was announced to take place in the summer.
The inaugural Wimbledon tournament started on July 9, 1877, and lasted for five days. The competition only included a men’s singles event, with 22 participants vying for the grand prize. However, the unpredictable English weather played spoilsport, causing frequent delays. As a result, the final was postponed by five days. The first champion, Spencer Gore, emerged victorious in a three-set match against William Marshall. Around 200 spectators witnessed the historic match, for which they had paid a nominal fee.
A noteworthy outcome of the first Wimbledon was the introduction of the term “center court” into tennis lingo. This originated from the placement of the primary court in the middle, surrounded by secondary courts. This sense of centrality was later emphasized when new courts were built around the main arena in the late 20th century.
As tennis gained prominence at the club, its name underwent a change in 1882, dropping the term “croquet”. By 1884, men’s doubles and women’s singles were added to the Wimbledon roster, followed by women’s doubles and mixed doubles in 1913, giving the tournament the same lineup we see today.
Wimbledon has only paused three times since 1877, all due to factors outside the organizers’ control. The championships were halted from 1915 to 1919 because of World War I, from 1940 to 1945 due to World War II, and in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The tradition-rich Wimbledon Championships, established in the 19th century, still hold today. Highlights include a strict all-white dress code for players, wooden towers and net poles, and the iconic strawberries and cream as the tournament’s signature dish. Sponsorship remains limited to Robinsons drinking water and Rolex watches, reflecting Wimbledon’s commitment to preserving its unique heritage.

If you want to buy tickets for the quarterfinals on July 11 and July 12, centre court tickets will cost £185. Semifinal tickets for July 13 and July 14 will be priced at £200 each.
There are other, more luxurious options as well, such as hospitality partnership with Keith Prowse, offering packages ranging from £700 to £915 per person, plus VAT. These include access to centre court or court 1 matches and additional amenities such as private tables, tennis celebrity interaction, or private VIP venues.

Prices for these tickets start from £2500 for two people for day one, up to £8430 for two people for the finals day. These prices include exclusive access to the Debenture Lounges and Terraces.
