So why is this answer correct? : The inaugural Wimbledon tournament was held in 1877. The gentlemen’s singles tournament was contested by 21 amateur players, who arrived on July 9. While the semifinals were held on July 12, the final was delayed until July 19 due to a local cricket match between Eton and Harrow. When the tournament resumed, W. Spencer Gore defeated William Marshall and became Wimbledon’s first champion.
