Trivia: In what year did women first compete at Wimbledon?
1884
1925
1968
2001
The correct answer is 1884
So why is this answer correct? : In 1884, seven years after the tournament began, women were invited to compete at Wimbledon for the first time. That inaugural ladies’ championship saw sisters Maud and Lilian Watson compete in the final, with the 19-year-old Maud coming out on top. Initially, the women’s tournament started after the men’s side concluded, but now both brackets compete concurrently.
