Thursday, June 26th, 2008 at 10:05 am

The most grandiose tennis tournament in the world is ON people.

That’s right, the 2008 All England Lawn Tennis Championships, otherwise known simply as Wimbledon, have begun Monday as the top tennis players in the world look to win the very tournament, the ONLY tournament that matters.

While F1 has Monaco, NASCAR has Daytona, soccer has the World Cup and pro wrestling has WrestleMania, tennis has Wimbledon. This tennis tournament in England has always become the highlight of the tennis season and you can bet that every tennis player out there will be out looking to win the 2008 Wimbledon Championships, no matter how hard it will take them.

Maria SharapovaThe 2008 Wimbledon Championships will take place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club starting June 23 through July 6, 2008. This year marks the 132nd edition of the Wimbledon Championships, and the third Grand Slam event of the year.

And just like any other Wimbledon tournaments in the past, the French Open champion will be looking to win in England and follow up on his or her last Grand Slam success.

This year, we have 2008 French Open champions, Rafael Nadal and Ana Ivanovic.

While they are two of the best tennis players we have today, we all know Nadal can’t win if they’re not playing on clay. Ana Ivanovic, on the other hand, won this year’s tournament on clay just because Maria Sharapova wasn’t around to give the Serbian yet another disappointment in the final match.

After all, Maria Sharapova will come in STILL the reigning Wimbledon champion. It is also in Wimbledon where everybody started noticing how good she really is.

This is STILL Sharapova’s turf and her tournament to win.
