Supporting programme, traditions and things worth knowing about Wimbledon 2022
The magic of Wimbledon doesn’t just happen on the grass pitches, but also around them. Traditions, myths and a special, old-fashioned atmosphere set the mood at Wimbledon. The spectators wear Sunday clothes and hats, the old rule of at least 90 percent white sportswear still applies on the pitches.
A special honor is given to the ball boys and girls. They are meticulously selected, have to receive a recommendation from their school management and have to pass written and athletic tests. Only in the training phase in the AELTC are the final ones ball boys and ball girls chosen.
The Championships, the Grounds or “the sacred lawn”: There are many different names for Wimbledon. But they are also synonymous with the tournament strawberries and cream, which are traditionally eaten by the audience. That’s almost 35 tons of strawberries and 10,000 liters of whipped cream every year.
Wimbledon Stadium: Center Court, AELTC pitches and grounds
Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam tournament played on grass pitches. The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club also cited this fact as a reason for the rest day on the Sunday of the first week of the game: This break was necessary until 2021 to ensure the quality of the pitch. New technologies now make it possible to ensure lawn care more efficiently and without a day off, which is why the free Sunday 2022 is canceled for the first time.
At Wimbledon, matches are played on all 19 grass pitches of the All England Club. The most important one Centre Court, is usually played only two weeks a year during the Grand Slam tournament, in exceptional cases the playing time is extended Centre Court to three weeks. The main tennis court at Wimbledon has a huge sliding roof and seats up to 15,000 spectators. Also the Court No. 1 is in operation exclusively for the championships and holds 12,000 visitors. In total, the AELTC offers space for 42,000 Wimbledon guests.
