What is Wimbledon?

The 2019 Wimbledon Championships is a Grand Slam tennis tournament with thousands of attendees each year from across the globe. For two weeks, visitors watch professional tennis players from around the world fight to win the championship trophy. There are five main events at Wimbledon – Gentlemen’s Singles, Ladies Singles and Doubles and Mixed Championships – as well as four Junior events and several special invitational events.

Wimbledon is the place to be for tennis lovers looking for an exciting day out and MET Coaches can help get you there.

What to see and what to do at Wimbledon

The Championships’ finals

The Wimbledon Championship finals begin once the qualifiers (24 – 27 June 2019) are complete. Although there are 14 days of championship matches, it’s typically the final matches of the main events that receive the most views. It’s in these finals that you see professional players battle to either gain or maintain the title of Wimbledon champion.

You can take your pick from Ralph Lauren-designed clothes and Wimbledon branded clothes, accessories and souvenirs. Best of all, by travelling with MET coaches, you save yourself the hassle of having to make your way home with all those shopping bags in hand. There’s also an online store for those who prefer to shop online.

Please note that the shops during the Wimbledon Championships are only accessible for ticket holders only. If there’s no play scheduled for 07 July, then it will be open to the public.
