On 3 July 2022, it was proposed that this article bemoved toWimbledon. The result ofthe discussion wasNo consensus for the disambiguation page, but the tournament moved toWimbledon Championships instead.

This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in theTop 25 Report2 times. The weeks in which this happened: July 2 to 8, 2023 July 9 to 15, 2023 (14th)

Text and/or other creative content fromthis version ofWimbledon Championships was copied or moved intoRoyal Box, Centre Court withthis edit on 15:10, 31 July 2025. The former page'shistory now serves toprovide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

In the Schedule section, the abolition of the traditional Sunday rest day as of 2022 is explained, and it is implied that the objective is to avoid a Manic Monday on which 32 players played each year prior to 2022.

If I have understood this correctly, then this following sentence should be in the past tense:

Before 2022, the second Monday at Wimbledon was often called "Manic Monday", because it is the busiest day with the last-16 matches for both men's and women's singles, where fans have a pick of watching on a single day, any of the best 32 players left; which is also unique in a Grand Slam singles competition.

like so:

Could someone please confirm that I am right? Thank you.2A00:23C6:549D:C301:8403:BDEF:CF98:57DB (talk)05:19, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thecurrent revision in the section Records § Miscellaneous lists Markéta Vondroušová among unseeded champions with the comment "ranked 42nd". At the same time, Venus Williams is listed as the "lowest-ranked winner" with the comment "31st (23rd seed)". Shouldn't Vondroušová be the lowest-ranked winner?Kompik (talk)09:50, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do we really need "commonly calledWimbledon" in the lead when its name, "Wimbledon Championships", is already stated? Feels likeclutter as a painfully obvious contraction; it's not really informative.MB243721:18, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think so. No one calls it anything more than Wimbledon about 99% of the time. The only reason it's not placed there is because we have a city of the same name. So it was Wimbledon (tennis) or Wimbledon Championships, which at least is something used on tv. The wording could be changed to "colloquially called simply Wimbledon" or something like that.Fyunck(click) (talk)21:34, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And also because the official name of the Tournament is not "Wimbledon" so it is better to state that although it is not the official name, it is what most people call itHaddad Maia fan (talk)21:39, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My point, however, is that "Wimbledon"is in the official name.MB243722:02, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Or "also called simply Wimbledon". It's still a very obvious contraction that doesn't add much and clutters the lead, similar to "Harvard", "Chelsea", and "Queen's". It would make sense atAll England Lawn Tennis Club but less so here. A compromise could be to move it to the efn alongside the former name.MB243721:47, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is "Wimbledon" is used throughout the article, not Wimbledon Championships. Because it is used continuously it should be front and center at the top so readers know why we use the shortened version. We always use French Open, US Open, Australian Open... we don't use French, US, and Australian throughout those article. But with Wimbledon it's very different.Fyunck(click) (talk)22:50, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The contraction being used as early as the second paragraph supports trimming it in the first sentence, in my eyes. It could be naturally introduced in the second/third sentences by replacing "it".MB243722:57, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just using the term isn't enough. Somewhere we should explain why we shorten it. I'm not saying we can't do it all in the second paragraph, but it needs to be said. It's whymany publications start off saying the same thing.Fyunck(click) (talk)23:27, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
