LateRooms.com - Wimbledon begins in London next month

May 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Tennis fans will see the top players in the world descend on London for Wimbledon in June.

Current champion and world number one Rafael Nadal will no doubt want to win the men's singles title for a third time; however, he will face stiff competition from his rivals.

Roger Federer is something of a grass-court specialist and has emerged victorious at Wimbledon six times since 2003, while world number two Novak Djokovic is unbeaten so far this year.

But the home crowd will no doubt throw their support behind Scottish player Andy Murray, who has shown he has the talent to go all the way.

In the women's competition, the Williams sisters have taken the singles title nine times between them since 2000, although they have recently slipped out of the world top ten.

Caroline Wozniacki, Kim Clijsters and Vera Zvonareva currently occupy the top three places in the rankings and will be expected to go far.

Wimbledon runs from June 20th to July 3rd 2011.

Since the ballot has finished, people will either need to buy one of several hundred tickets available online the day before play, or queue in the morning.
