The 1883 Wimbledon Championships took place on the outdoor grass courts at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom. The tournament ran from 7 July until 16 July. [1] It was the 7th staging of the Wimbledon Championships, and the first Grand Slam tennis event of 1883. [2] William Renshaw won for the third year running, and so won the original Field championship cup outright.
