The world's oldest tennis tournament, first held in 1877, is officially called the Lawn Tennis Championships on Grass. It is held at the All England Tennis Club in Wimbledon, a suburb of London, and is generally called the Wimbledon Tournament. The first tournament had 22 men's participants. It started out with singles only, but doubles was added, and in 1984 a women's event was added. Since 1913, five events have been held: men's and women's singles, doubles, and mixed doubles.
