Wimbledon Tennis Tickets: Refreshing Game Trivia

Being one of the most esteemed tournaments, buying the Wimbledon tennis tickets from the venue itself will definitely prove to be a tough job. The easiest method is buying them online.

Here is some game trivia for the diehard tennis fan:

• One of the tennis legends and youngest player to win Wimbledon singles, Charlotte (Lottie) Dod, was also a silver medalist in archery, a British national field hockey team member as well as an amateur golfer.
• During the Second World War, a bomb ripped the Centre Court of the historic venue, which led to the destruction of 1,200 seats. Fortunately, there was minimal casualties and play resumed in 1946. However, the complete area was back in shape only by 1949.
• 2007 was the first year when the winners of the men’s and women’s singles each received £700,000. Prior to this, the prize money for women was less than that for men. In 1968, when the first ‘open’ championships were held, the male champion received £2,000, whereas his female counterpart was awarded £750.
• When the game began, men played in full-length pants and women wore full-length dresses until 1946. Till today, dress regulation is applied and female players with low-cut tops are not allowed on the court.
• Over 200 ball boys and girls are engaged to collect the tennis balls during the games. Those who desire to be selected as a ball girl or boy have to train for eight hours on a weekly basis for four months before the tournament begins.
