39、since 1864. A lot of people played croquet in England at that time and enjoyed it, but the national championships did not attract many people. So the Club had very little money.“This new game of lawn tennis seems to have plenty of action (精彩场面), and people like watching it,“ they thought. “Shall we

40、allow people to play lawn tennis on some of our beautiful croquet lawns?“In 1877, Wimbledon held the first world lawn tennis championships (mens singles).Wimbledon grew. There was some surprise and doubt, of course, when the Club allowed women to play in the first womens singles championship in 1884
