Watch Wimbledon 2011 Championship Live Online - Men and Women Singles



Wimbledon 2011 is celebrating the 125th year of Lawn Tennis Championship that was hosted by The All England Lawn Tennis Club since 1877, characterised by its green grass, smart white clothing, and the purple and green colors of the Club. The championship has a rich history and tradition proudly carried forward through the centuries to this day.

Apparently, "there were no Championships held between 1915-1918 and 1940-1945 due to the First World War and Second World War."

Among the great legends of the championships, the name that comes to the fore is Bjorn Borg to me as I watched all his games since the time I remember from his era of winning the Singles Championship between 1976-1980.  And then, I became a great fan of John McEnroe who took over the seed from Borg in 1981-1984, and also won the Doubles Championship five times. Today, it is Rafael Nadal who is reigning at the top since 2008.

Among the Women Championships, my three favorites were Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf. Of course, they were followed by others like the Williams sisters: Venus Williams and Serena Williams. (2008)
