Grand Slams 1893

The 17th edition of the Wimbledon Championships took place in 1893 on the grounds of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on Worple Road. For the men, 29 participants competed in the All-Comers competition, and for the women, seven.

It was the last year the Renshaw brothers signed up for the tournament. However, William Renshaw did not even start his first round game, his twin brother Ernest was eliminated in the second round. With the withdrawal of the popular brothers from Wimbledon, public interest in the tournament subsequently waned.
