What is Wimbledon?
Wimbledon is one of the four major Grand Slam tennis tournaments in the world, along with the Australian Open, French Open and US Open.
Interestingly, Wimbledon has a few different traditions that it has to adhere to (classically British). For starters, it is the only tournament that is still played on grass, which is considered the traditional tennis court.
Participants must adhere to a strict dress code, wearing all white, and the only form of advertising allowed on the field is from official sponsors.

As always, the battle for the top spot at Wimbledon will be fierce. Last year’s winners include Carlos Alcaraz in the men’s singles and Markéta Vondroušová in the women’s singles.
The line-up for Wimbledon 2024 is yet to be confirmed, but we do know the names of the Australian players who have been confirmed to compete this year.
