THE FIRST TOURNAMENT
Wimbledon is very popular as the first Tennis tournament in the world. Yet according to research, there is a tennis tournament held in Nahant, Massachusetts, United States, in August 1876, one year before Wimbledon was held in 1877.
In 1870, the original court of All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club located at Worple Road, next to the main street of London-Portsmouth railway. In 1875, the club agreed to increase the number of games with lawn tennis and badminton. Two years later, on July 10, they held a meeting, which was then followed by a tennis match.
