The 1897 Wimbledon Championships was a tennis tournament that 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 21 June until 1 July. It was the 21st staging of the Wimbledon Championships, and the first Grand Slam tennis event of 1897.[5] No matches were played on the first Tuesday to mark Queen Victoria's jubilee.[6] Reginald Doherty defeated Harold Mahony in the Challenge Round, and successfully defended his title for the next three years.[5]
