What Is ‘Wimbledon’ in Tennis?
“Wimbledon” is the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world.
It is the third of the four Grand Slam tournaments (the “Majors”), played every summer in London, England.
🎾 The Critical Betting Factor: The Grass
Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam played on grass courts. This completely changes how you bet compared to the other tournaments.
- Speed: Grass is the fastest surface in tennis. The ball skids off the ground and stays low.
- The “Big Server” Advantage: Because the court is so fast, players with massive serves are much harder to break. Betting on “Over” total games or sets is popular here because there are fewer breaks of serve.
- Rallies are Shorter: Unlike the clay of the French Open, points end quickly.
🍓 Fun Fact
It is famous for its strict traditions: players must wear all-white clothing, and fans traditionally eat strawberries and cream.
