The 1889 Wimbledon Championships took place on the outdoor grass courts at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom. The tournament ran from 1 July until 13 July.[1] It was the 13th staging of the Wimbledon Championships, and the first Grand Slam tennis event of 1889.[2] William Renshaw won his seventh singles title, which as late as 1977 was thought to be a feat unlikely to ever be surpassed.[2] However, in 2000 Pete Sampras equaled this total, and in 2012 Roger Federer also won a seventh title.[3] Ultimately the record was broken by Federer in 2017 when he became the first man to win eight singles titles at Wimbledon.[4] The Renshaw brothers were also unbeaten in doubles for seven years.[2] The men's doubles were played after completion of the singles competitions.[1]
