Quiz: How well do you know Wimbledon?

The tournament begins on Monday.

WIMBLEDON KICKS OFF on Monday after a delayed start this year. Tennis’s premier Grand Slam tournament always attracts its fair share of celebrity spectators and, of course, tennis fans. 

Although some of the biggest names in the game will not be featuring this year due to injury or recent retirement, there is still plenty of great tennis to look forward to as a new generation attempts to break through. 

With the stage set, The Journal has served up a Wimbledon trivia quiz that we hope you will love. (Yes, unfortunately, all of those puns were intended.) 

So, how well do you know Wimbledon?
