今日小常識
The Wimbledon Championships, held since 1877, is one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world. Wimbledon traditions include a strict dress code for competitors, the eating of strawberries and cream by spectators, and the presence of members of the Royal Family. Wimbledon's Centre Court was fitted with a retractable roof to lessen the loss of playing time due to rain.
