Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Championships, Wimbledon, or simply Wimbledon, is the oldest tennis tournament in the world and is considered the most prestigious. It has been held at the All England Club in the London suburb of Wimbledon since 1877. It is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments, and the only one still played on the game's original surface, grass, which gave the game of lawn tennis its name. The book lists the men's single champions at Wimbledon from the start of the Open Era to 1979, including Rod Laver, John Newcombe, Stan Smith, Jan Kodes, Jimmy Connors, Arthur Ashe, and Bjorn Borg.
