The Championships, Wimbledon, commonly referred to as simply "Wimbledon", is the oldest and arguably most prestigious event in the sport of tennis. Held every June and July in London, United Kingdom the tournament is the third Grand Slam event played each year, preceded by the Australian Open and the French Open, and followed by the U.S. Open.
The best tennis players on the planet will be gathering at the All England Tennis Club next June to play in the sport's oldest tournament, these are the odds on who will win the Men's and Women's single titles at Wimbledon. Roger Federer has won Wimbledon for the last four consecutive years (2003 – 2006) so he is the obvious favourite for the 2007 title, although it would only take one bad day at the office for him to come unstuck. Andy Roddick's first serve is the fastest of the men's singles participants so he is one for the notebook. Amelie Mauresmo and Justine Henin-Hardenne are expected to continue their tussle at the top of the women’s rankings, while the Williams sisters, Serena and Venus, are sure to challenge for the title in 2007 if fitness permits.
Although the draw for the world's most prestigious tennis tournament hasn't been set yet, sports pundits foresees history repeating itself on the grass courts listing former champions Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova as the favorites to win again this year.
Wimbledon History
Wimbledon staged its first men's singles tournament in 1877 when Spencer Gore emerged triumphant from a field of 22 competitors. Wimbledon is the oldest of the major contests as the Australian Open (1905), French Open (1891) and US Open (1881) followed in the British institution's footsteps.
Wimbledon is one of the biggest and most popular Grand Slam tennis tournaments today. It started out as a garden party in 1877, and now it is a grand event attended by hundreds of thousands of people. Broadcast throughout the world by television, radio, and the internet, Wimbledon is put on by the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club every year in Worple Road, England. This year’s event begins on June 25, 2007 and lasts for two weeks. Tickets are notoriously hard to find, but Coast to Coast has all the best tickets to all Wimbledon dates.

Grounds
The nineteen courts used for Wimbledon are all composed purely of rye grass. The speed and the low bounce of grass courts favours serve and volley players. Serve and volleyers such as Rod Laver, John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg and Pete Sampras have all won the Championships. However, baseliners such as Björn Borg have also performed very well, as have all-court players like Roger Federer. Among women, the serve and volley strategy is less common; one of the few female serve and volleyers, Martina Navrátilová, won Wimbledon on a record nine occasions.
The main show courts, Centre Court and No. 1 Court, are normally used only for two weeks a year, during the Championships, but play can extend into a 3rd week in exceptional circumstances. The remaining seventeen courts are regularly used for other events hosted by the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. The show courts will, however, be pressed into action for the second time in three months in 2012 as Wimbledon will host the tennis events of the 2012 Olympic Games.

Nadal victory over Federer
WIMBLEDON, England - Rafael Nadal's first Grand Slam title off clay was never going to be easy, but this was ridiculous.
Who knew the Spaniard would have to come through arguably the greatest men's final ever in his phenomenal 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (8), 9-7 victory over five-time defending champion Roger Federer at Wimbledon?
Maybe the only one who knew was the 22-year-old Spaniard, who defined heroic in an epic 4-hour, 48-minute contest in which Federer proved equally deserving of the title.
"Probably my hardest loss, by far," a despondent Federer said later.
