Technically it’s called The Championships / Wimbledon which is kind of a snub to the Australian, French and US Open. I guess they’re not championships but more of a viewing, as viewed by the Brits. Now the French Open is often referred to as Roland Garros, the official name of the tennis center. Even that’s a bit snooty. Nobody refers to the US Open as the Billie Jean King.
My dilemma is this. If a player wins the Australian, French and US Open Grand Slams (Steffi Graf) in the same year yet loses at The Championships, are they not a champion? To answer this question, I spoke with the British Tennis expert of all time. Okay I really didn’t and don’t know who that would even be. I think it’s the Duke of Somewhere. It used to be the Duke of Kent but something tells me he’s pushing up daisies instead of handing out the Venus Rosewater dish. Note 
NO DISH FROM THE DUKE FOR THEM.
Then there’s the double standard of the playing surface. Wimbledon (sorry) The Championships / Wimbledon is played on grass which looks great the first three days. Then it basically turns into a pile of dirt that the players slide and fall on. Could we not try turf? Touché.
Pretty sure that’s a hell no from the Brits. Let them endure danger if they want this plate.
The Dress Code: 95% of a player’s outfit must be white. Their sponsor’s emblem can only take up 5% of the ensemble.
Hail to the Queen/King: If a royal is in attendance you must either bow (men) or cortsy (women) in front of the Royal Box upon exiting Center Court. Now imagine if you just lost a tough match and you’re stained with grass and dirt and sweating like a pig. You want to disappear like Samantha in Bewitched but no … you must demonstrate your respect of the crown. But you’re not even British. So why?
The final act of snobbery at The Championships / Wimbledon is this. The big selling item at the US Open is a Grey Goose Honey Deuce Melon cocktail. At the French Open it’s champagne and a baguette and the Australians love their pint of lager. But the Brits prefer a Strawberry and Cream ensemble. So the fans at the other three slams are schnockered, especially during night matches. Well there are no night matches at The Championships / Wimbledon, so their fans are always on their best behavior.
Social etiquette prevails at The Championships / Wimbledon.
The match you’re watching is kind of a side show.
