Wimbledon Championships: Tournament Format and Notable Past Winners Wimbledon is the oldest and most renowned tennis event in the world, and it takes place in London, England. It is also one of the four Grand Slam tennis championships held each year. The inaugural edition of the Championship was held in 1877, and this year's edition will be the 135th. Wimbledon is the only major tennis tournament that continues to be played on a conventional surface. Format  A large number of players take part in the qualifiers to get an entry into the first round of the main event. All the rounds of the main event are knockout, which includes the first round, second round, third round, fourth round, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final. Matches in men’s singles and doubles are best-of-five sets.

A tiebreak game is played if the score reaches 6-all, except the fifth (five-set match) or the three (three-set match). In this case, a two-game lead wins the contest. Since 2019, a final set tie-break game is played if the score reaches 12-all.  Past Winners Winning the championship is a dream for a professional tennis player.

Men's Doubles, Women's Doubles, and Mixed Doubles are the three events. Sixteen pairs will be seeded for each of these three tournaments. These competitions follow the same format as the singles events. However, there is no fourth round in these three events, hence the winners of the third round will advance to the quarter-finals. 2022 Wimbledon Championships: Prize Money This year's Wimbledon Championship has a record prize money of 40,350,000 pounds.

Aftermath  Wimbledon is a prestigious sporting event in the world, with millions of spectators following the championship around the world. Roger Federer is one of the top players that will not compete in the 2022 Wimbledon Championships. Furthermore, the current ATP No. 1 player, Daniil Medvedev, will be unable to compete in this year's championship due to the fact that players from Russia and Belarus would be unable to compete at Wimbledon. The excitement for the main event will not be dampened by the absence of a few players. The contestants will give it their all in order to go farther in the tournament. Tennis fans will be very interested in this year's Championship, as they have been in previous Wimbledon tournaments.
