The Championships, Wimbledon 2014 Begins Monday!
All England is back for business for the Championships starting Monday! The only grand slam played on grass. Although defending women's singles champion Marion Bartoli won't defend the title (she retired shortly after her win after a critic made comments regarding looks), Andy Murray will defend his men's singles title there. Murray became the first Brit since Virginia Wade in 1977 to win at All England in singles competition (in general). It was also Murray's second grand slam. Will he repeat?
