	The Championships, Wimbledon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Championships, Wimbledon, commonly refered as simply Wimbledon, is the oldest and, arguably, most prestigious event in the sport of tennis.
		Wimbledon usually lasts for two weeks; the main events span both weeks, but the junior and invitational events are for the most part held during the second week.
		Due to possibility of rain during Wimbledon, a retractable roof is planned for the court; it is expected to be completed in 2009.

	Wimbledon Championships (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Wimbledon is the oldest and most prestigious event in the sport of tennis.
		Wimbledon, held in June/July, is the third Grand Slam tournament played each year, preceded by the Australian Open and French Open, and followed by the US Open.
		The British are very proud of the Championships but it is a source of national anguish and humour - no British man has won the singles event at Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936, and no British woman since Virginia Wade in 1977.
