Relive the moments of the 2010 Championships

Wimbledon is the oldest and considered the most prestigious tennis event of the world. Popularly known as the 'Mecca of Tennis', Wimbledon started with men's singles event in 1877, with an inclusion of ladies singles and mens doubles in 1884. Interestingly though, it is the only championship that has the same venue since the commencement, the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Where Martina Navratilova holds the record of most wins with nine titles, William Renshaw and Pete Sampras are tied at 7 in the men's competition. The youngest ever Grand Slam champion also comes from the Wimbledon championships where Lottie Dod won the women's event in 1887 as aged 15 years and 10 months.

So many players talk about Wimbledon being the first tournament they saw, the one they want to win the most, and the most unique of the 4.

Quotes

Unfortunately, I will not be able to participate in Wimbledon this year. I am extremely disappointed as I have always loved The Championships, but I need to take time to let my back heal. I look forward to returning to the courts as soon as possible, with my goal being to return to Mylan World Team Tennis on July 8th in Washington DC. Many thanks to my fans for the love and support and I will be seeing you very soon back on the courts

- Venus Williams has withdrawn from The Championships starting next week after persisting issues with her lower back.
Do you think it was fair, what they got? They did something stupid, but I don't know. I'm not blaming the girl, but if you're a 16-year-old and you're drunk like that, your parents should teach you: Don't take drinks from other people. It could have been much worse. She's lucky. Obviously, I don't know, maybe she wasn't a virgin, but she shouldn't have put herself in that position, unless they slipped her something, then that's different.

- Serena Williams has made a hugely controversial statement regarding a 16 year-old gang rape victim.
I worked very hard in the time I had off to get myself back in the best shape possible. My team helped me a lot, they've been very patient with me. Cilic is one of the best grass court players in the world. We've had a lot of very close matches. I was lucky to come through in the end; he was playing very good tennis, especially towards the end of the second set

- Andy Murray made a hat trick of titles at the Aegon Championships when he overcame a rain delay and a first set deficit to beat defending champion Marin Cilic in three extremely close sets.
It was definitely tough. I think we were both really nervous in the beginning and then after two games I settled down a little bit and relaxed. Toward the end, Julia brought her game to another level and I was struggling. I'm really happy with my service game at 5-5. I made two aces, which I rarely do, and after that I settled down and it was fine. It was a great atmosphere with the home crowd, although they didn't really know who to cheer for. And the nice thing is with all the injuries that I really appreciate it much more now and I'm really happy about any kind of win. It doesn't matter where or when or which round, so I'm really happy.

- Andrea Petkovic earned a straight sets victory over her compatriot Julia Goerges on Wednesday and secured her birth in the first quarterfinals of the season in Nurnberg WTA Event.
Today I think I could read him good. Then I think I put pressure on him and he forced a lot. I was ready for his main spot to be covered. Then, I think he forced a lot and that helped me a lot. It's a great tournament. It's a great spirit. The stadium is beautiful and there's always a good crowd. I like the German crowd. They're into it. So, it's good, it's noisy. It's the kind of stadium I like to play on. I just feel good here.

- Gael Monfils earned a comprehensive 6-4 6-2 victory over fifth-seeded Milos Raonic of Canada on Tuesday at the Gerry Weber Open and secured his berth in this ATP World Tour 250 Event.
