The 1984 Wimbledon Championships was a tennis tournament played on grass courts at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon in London in England. It was the 98th edition of the Wimbledon Championships and the centenary of the Ladies Singles championship, held from 25 June to 8 July 1984. To celebrate the centenary of the Ladies' Singles competition (first held in 1884), 17 of the surviving 20 singles champions were presented with an engraved crystal vase on Centre Court by their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Kent on Monday, July 2. Those presented were Martina Navratilova, Virginia Wade, Chris Evert Lloyd, Evonne Goolagong Cawley, Ann Jones, Billie-Jean King, Margaret Court, Angela Mortimer, Maria Bueno, Althea Gibson, Shirley Fry, Doris Hart, Louise Brough, Margaret Osborne duPont, Pauline Betz, Alice Marble and Kitty Godfree.
