Wimbledon starts today !

WIMBLEDON is the oldest tennis tournament in the world. It is one of the four grand slam tennis tournaments and the only one which is played on grass. The players have to wear all white and the spectators eat a lot of strawberries and cream. 


Look at for the British player Andy Murray in the men's singles. Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are the other favourites to win. 

In the women's singles two of the top players are Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams.  


If you are interested in playing Tennis yourself there is an indoor tennis centre at Exeter University see
