Wimbledon's Quirkiest Traditions Explained
From the all-white dress code to strawberries, here is why Wimbledon's rituals define the Grand Slam.

This rule strips away individual branding, placing the focus squarely on the sport and the venue's heritage. Beyond the court, the Royal Box operates on a strict hierarchy that dictates who watches from the Centre Court seats.
