Wimbledon 2017 will start as from on Sunday June 25. Wimbledon is the oldest of all tennis championships in the world and has been held annually since then-prime minister Lord Balfour first proposed it be played there back in 1876. The main draw for this year's tournament begins at noon EDT Saturday, with play scheduled to continue into Monday night because of rain that hit London Thursday morning. Play resumes Tuesday afternoon before wrapping up Wednesday evening after a weather delay that pushed the championship match until midnight Friday (Source) (Wikipedia)
