Lawn-Tennis Championship Matches at Wimbledo, 1887
The 1887 Wimbledon Championships took place on the outdoor grass courts at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in Wimbledon, London , United Kingdom . The tournament ran from 2 July until 7 July.[1] It was the 11th staging of the Wimbledon Championships , and the first Grand Slam tennis event of 1887.[2] From 1880 to 1887 the men's singles draw fell from 60 to 16, this was attributed to the superior expertise of the Renshaw brothers and Herbert Lawford .[2] Lawford won the gentleman's singles title after defeating Ernest Renshaw in the All Comers final.[3] Defending champions William Renshaw was unable to play the Challenge Round due to a tennis elbow.[4]
The Ladies singles competition was won by Lottie Dod who won the title at an age of 15 years and 285 days and became the youngest ever Wimbledon singles champion.[5]
