Well, if you thought you knew Wimbledon like we did, you are going to be amazed when you hear how this tournament used to be nothing like it looks like today. We're going to tell you the entire story right now on Dynastic. You know, Wimbledon is a dynasty. It's not a team. It's not a player. It's not an owner. It's not a strategy, but it is the tournament itself. And the argument that we're essentially making to you guys, the audience out there, what Jay and I believe here is that, look...
It's not quite true to say Wimbledon invented in every version of tennis. People had been hitting balls over things for centuries, but Wimbledon gave modern tennis its shape, its actual size of the court, the mythology, the dress code, the rituals, the stage, its identity. If tennis exists without Wimbledon, I don't know what it is. It's just a different sport. Frankly, Jay, it might just be squash.
Yeah.
And it's not so much that Wimbledon is tennis exclusively, but to so many people, tennis is Wimbledon, right? Growing up in the Czech Republic, Martina Navratilova, who we'll be talking about a lot later on, the only tennis that was available for her to watch in her home country was Wimbledon. In the 1980 movie, Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown, and Don't Come Back, Snoopy and Woodstock, they go to London. What do they do? They play tennis at Wimbledon. I don't know how Snoopy got court time there, but he had it like that. But that's what you do. You go to Wimbledon, you think of London. Snoopy was wearing his all-whites, J.A. That did help. Woodstock was not conforming, though. He was still in the yellow. But it's funny, though.
Speaking of Woodstock, to a lot of people, Tennis became, you know, Wimbledon is like Woodstock, right? In terms of the festival, the celebration of this art form. Look, I have it in my own household. My wife said one of her bucket list events of this great sporting events, the one it's at the top of her list.
