Artists’ depiction of the first tennis tournament at Wimbledon, played with a higher net than is used today. The tournament, which used a modified version of the rules of tennis that had been first recorded in 1875, was held to raise money for new lawn maintenance equipment. The tournament made a profit of £10, a little short of the $335 million it made in revenue in 2017. -- source link
