The rules that never bent

Wimbledon still requires competitors to wear almost entirely white, still plays on grass as it did in 1877, and until 2022 had no final-set tiebreak. Tradition is the product: even the queue to buy grounds tickets is itself a famous institution with its own code of conduct.

Strawberries by the tonne

Around 38–40 tonnes of strawberries and 10,000 litres of cream are served each fortnight, and the All England Club employs a hawk named Rufus to keep pigeons off Centre Court — arguably the most famous bird in sports.
