Wimbledon in south-west London had humble beginnings as a small championship competition for some 20 male players who each paid an entrance fee of one guinea each to enter. That first Lawn Tennis Championship was held in 1877 at Worple Road, Wimbledon, home of the All England Croquet Club later to become the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
