what type of grass is wimbledon played on
The Championships, Wimbledon Since 2001, the courts used for Wimbledon have been sown with 100% perennial ryegrass. Prior to 2001 a combination of 70% ryegrass and 30% Creeping Red Fescue was used. The change was made to improve durability and strengthen the sward to better withstand the increasing wear of the modern game.[29][30]
The Championships, Wimbledon The Championships, Wimbledon, commonly known simply as Wimbledon, is the oldest tennis tournament in the world, and is widely regarded as the most prestigious.[2][3][4][5][6] It has been held at the All England Club in Wimbledon, London, since 1877 and is played on outdoor grass courts.
Andy Murray After strong grass court seasons in 2012 and 2013, Murray was seeded third for the 2014 Wimbledon Championship, behind Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, who were seeded first and second respectively.[236] He began his title defence with straight sets wins over David Goffin[237] and Blaž Rola, defeating the latter for the loss of just two games.[238] Murray continued his good form, defeating Roberto Bautista Agut[239] and Kevin Anderson,[240] the 27th and 20th seeds, again in straight sets to reach his seventh consecutive Wimbledon quarterfinal. Murray's defence then came to a halt as Grigor Dimitrov ended his 17 match winning-streak on the grass of Wimbledon (this includes the 2012 Olympics) with a straight sets win, meaning Murray failed to reach the semifinals for the first time since 2008.[241] After his defeat at the Championships, Murray dropped to No. 10, his lowest ranking since 2008.[242]
