Playing on the hallowed grounds of Wimbledon requires competitors to conform to some of the longstanding traditions of the club. While bowing on Center Court to the Royal Box (where members of the British Royal family sit on occasion) is no longer required, players must still wear all-white tennis apparel. Although over the years some players have protested Wimbledon’s preeminent role in the sport, many players still view tradition-rich Wimbledon as the most important tournament to win.
