<h2><strong>Wimbledon Championships History</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">The Wimbledon Championships are an annual tournament held at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. The club was founded back in 1868 and christened "The All England Croquet Club."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Eight years later, Major Walter Clopton Wingfield put forward an idea for an outdoor version of court tennis. Soon, the game was officially added to the list of activities of the club.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In 1877, the club was renamed "The All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club." With this change debuted the Lawn Tennis Championship.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Earlier, the club used to follow the rules put drafted by the Marylebone Cricket Club. However, when the Lawn Tennis Championship was born, a new set of rules were introduced. These rules are in force even today. Admittedly, the rules are not the same as the ones drawn in 1877, as minor changes have been made over the years.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The inaugural 1877 Wimbledon Championship kicked off on July 9, with the Gentlemen's Singles being the sole event. Spencer Gore won it after defeating 22 competitors.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"></sup></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In 1882, the word 'croquet' was dropped after lawn tennis became the sole activity at the club. However, the name was back on the plaque in 1899, owing to sentimentality.</p>
<img class="size-full wp-image-160729 aligncenter" src="http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/wimbledon-2019-all-the-news-of-the-world-most-famous-fortnight-1.jpg" alt="Wimbledon Championships Roof" width="848" height="565" />
<p style="text-align: center;">In 1884, the Ladies' Singles and Gentlemen's Doubles competitions were added to the roster. Nearly two decades later, the Ladies' Doubles and Mixed Doubles events would follow.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In a similar vein with the other three Majors or Grand Slam events, Wimbledon was contested by top-ranked amateur players. During that time, professional players were prohibited from participating.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">However, when the Open era arrived in 1968, the rules changed once again. Thought-provokingly, until Fred Perry in 1936 and Andy Murray in 2013, no British man has ever won at Wimbledon.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Meanwhile, on the Ladies' front, until Virginia Wade in 1977, no British woman has ever triumphed. However, Annabel Croft and Laura Robson won the Girls' Championship in 1984 and 2008, respectively.</p>
