The are not many, if any, more iconic venues in sports than the All England Club. Even the most casual of sports fans tune in to watch tennis played on the grass courts during Wimbledon.

The All England Club is 155 years old and still does not look a day over perfection. However, beauty is not always easily obtained. It takes a lot of work to look this good after more than 15 decades.

The 2024 Wimbledon tennis tournament starts on Monday, July 1. With days quickly running out before the entire tennis world descends upon London, the official Wimbledon social media accounts shared an ethereal video of how the All England Club is prepared for play.

As seen below, the 59-second video "ASMR" video details the intricate work required to make Wimbledon pop on television screens all over the world.

Not a single word was spoken in the video, yet so much can be said about the beauty and majesty of the All England Club. Now, all tennis players and fans need is continued good weather for the next few weeks.

The Grand Slam should be as competitive as ever with many players opting to playing in Wimbledon instead of the Summer Olympics. The switch from the clay courts at Roland Garros to grass at Wimbledon back to clay for the Olympics is too much for several players.
