Best Answer

Wimbledon is a very prestigious event, said even by the greats as "the best event."

I think it has to do with the players' feel of the atmosphere and event.

Also, there is much tradition and rich history behind Wimbledon (oldest event).

It is also the only grand slam event played on grass.

For example, such traditions involve players wearing all white.

Yes Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world and is considered the most prestigious. It has been held at the All England Club in the London suburb of Wimbledon since 1877 and is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments, and the only one still played on the game's original surface, grass.
