THE world’s oldest tennis tournament, Wimbledon, is rocking courts this day and will flood the All England Club Tennis stadium in London with die hard tennis fans who are expected to cheer for their respective idols.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic of Serbia will defend his Men’s Singles title against hungry competitors ready to take away his crown.

Djokovic is expected to bounce back after his loss to Dominic Thiem of Austria in a 5-set, semifinal grudge match in the 2019 French Open.

Angelique Kerber of Germany will also defend her Women’s Singles title and will have to regain momentum as she shockingly fell in the first round of the French Open to World No. 81 Anastasia Patapova of Russia in straight sets.

Fans from all over the world are expected to troop to the All England Club Tennis stadium from July 1 to July 14, 2019 and will paint London white once again.
