2011 Wimbledon Draw

Monday kicks off the third tennis Grand Slam event of the year as Wimbledon, the oldest tennis tournament in the world, starts up. 128 players on both the men's and women's sides will battle it out on grass at the All England Club in the London suburb of Wimbledon for a chance to take home the title. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have combined to win all of the last eight tournaments with Federer taking five in a row between 2003 and 2007, and then winning again in 2009 with Nadal taking the other two in 2008 and last summer. On the women's side, American sisters Venus and Serena Williams have won the last four Wimbledons with Venus taking the title in 2007 and 2008 and Serena taking the last two.
