If you're a fan of the sport of Tennis, then Wimbledon trivia is going to be something that you're very interested in. Even for people who are not fans of the sport directly know of this tournament, and recognize it as the most prestigious in Tennis. The tournament is often referred to as, The Championships, Wimbledon, as well as just being called Wimbledon.

Wimbledon is unique in that it is the only of the Grand Slam tournaments that is still played on grass. Many feel that this nod to the tradition and origins of tennis is just one of the many reasons that winning this tourney is considered the games highest honor.

An interesting piece for a Wimbledon quiz is the history of the tournament. The club it is played at was originally called the All England Croquet Club. When one of its distinguished members, Major Walter Clopton Wingfield created the game of lawn tennis, the club quickly adopted this as its flagship sport. In 1877 the club was renamed the All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis club and had the first ever Tennis championship tournament. Eventually, croquet would be left behind in name and practice (the name was later restored) as the club moved forward into the tennis age.

Wimbeldon trivia will surely mention the five main events which are the focus of the tournament. The Gentlemen's and Ladies singles events are probably the most important tennis matches in the world, but the Gentlemen's and Ladies Doubles are not far behind. A mixed doubles event is also part of the tournament. In addition, there are Junior events (sometimes referred to as Chimbledon), and Invitational events.

A Wimbledon quiz will show that the event is also one of the premiere social events in Britain, and has frequently been patronized by the royal family. The event is also covered extensively through radio and television coverage so those unable to attend the events can still follow the tourney.

The current singles champions of Wimbledon are Roger Federer and Serena Williams. Serena's sister Venus was women's champion the year before. Federer is also the tied holder of the record for the most consecutive wins at Wimbledon; he won five years in a row between 2002 and 2007. The other person that has the same record is Bjorn Borg. Federer, with his sixth win in 2009, is now only one win behind Pete Sampras for the most wins at Wimbledon in the modern tennis era.
