WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Wimbledon is the oldest Grand Slam tournament, and there are many ways in which the All England Club is setting one foot in the modern age while keeping another solidly rooted in its famous past. Tennis fans in New York City can gather to see live TV coverage of the last three days of Wimbledon at an outdoor watch party at Brooklyn Bridge Park. Those are when the women’s final and the men’s semifinals and final will be played. Online registration for 1,500 free tickets for each day ends Thursday but walk-ins will be allowed.
