The 1902 Wimbledon Championships took place on the outdoor grass courts at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom. The tournament ran from 23 June until 2 July 1902.[4] It was the 26th staging of the Wimbledon Championships, and the first Grand Slam event of 1902.[5] The women's final (challenge round) is the only match in the history of Wimbledon that was played twice over. Charlotte Cooper Sterry played Muriel Robb in miserable weather conditions on Tuesday, 1 July and the match was abandoned with the score at one set all, 6–4, 11–13. The match was restarted afresh the next day, and Muriel Robb won the rematch 7–5, 6–1.[5]
It was the first edition of the Wimbledon Championships in which all the matches where played with tennis balls manufactured by Slazenger, initiating one of the oldest enduring sponsorship deals in sport, that continues until today.[4][6]
