Never has a handful of perfectly-manicured lawns, tucked away in south-west London, caused such bitter divisions amongst players and this year’’s Wimbledon will be no different.

Roger Federer, who will bid to win a sixth consecutive Wimbledon title over the next two weeks and move one closer to Sampras’’s record, believes the season is fine as it is. “I don”t think it should happen (lengthen the season), even though grass is maybe my best surface and I”ve had unbelievable success,” said Federer. “It stays unique to see the French Open backed up right away with one or two tournaments and then Wimbledon.” The two-week long Grand Slam event at Wimbledon is preceded by a fortnight of warm-up events, mostly in England but with one each in Germany and Holland.
