For the first time in 75 years, there was no Wimbledon in 2020. In April, the organization already announced that the oldest tennis tournament in the world was moved to 2021. It was the first time since the Second World War that there was no tennis on the grass in London.

But in 2021, Wimbledon is back! From June 28 to July 11 to be precise. Novak Djokovic and Simona Halep have enjoyed their titles as best male and female player for a year longer, but in the summer they really have to fight to defend their title and honor.

Formula 1; Hamilton aims for the record

The calendar for Formula 1 has been approved and with 23 there is a record number of races on the program. The engines of the cars will probably start for the first time on March 21 in Australia. The season lasts until the end of the year; the last race will be held in Abu Dhabi on 5 December.

Lewis Hamilton can defend his title and is on the hunt for his fifth championship in a row. The British driver can set the record for the most Formula 1 titles. He currently shares that record with Michael Schumacher; both won seven F1 seasons.

The British GP is scheduled for August 2. For Hamilton, the race at Silverstone will be extra special because the pit of the circuit has been bearing his name since last December. It is the first time in history that a part of Silverstone is named after a driver. Hamilton deserved it based on his good performance, which he obviously hopes to repeat in 2021.
