Wimbledon is not only home to one of the most famous tennis tournaments in the world, but also has a rich Olympic heritage. The venue staged the Tennis competition when London first hosted the Olympic Games in 1908, with Great Britain winning all six gold medals.

At Beijing 2008, Rafael Nadal won the men’s Singles, while Venus and Serena Williams sisters triumphed in the women’s Doubles. See the full medal table from Beijing 2008
