Centre Court is the main tennis court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London. It is famous for hosting the finals of the Wimbledon Championships, one of the four major tennis tournaments known as the Grand Slams. The court has a seating capacity of around 14,979 spectators and features a retractable roof, allowing matches to continue during rain. The first match on Centre Court took place in 1922, and it has since become a symbol of prestige in the sport of tennis. The court is known for its lush green grass surface, which is unique among major tournaments, as most are played on hard or clay courts.
