Clarification

Sincerely, I think the crux of the Wimbleton Effect could be laid out more clearly. I had to go through the first two paragraphs more than once before I was sure I understood. Perhaps an opener along the lines of:

The Wimbledon Effect is an analogy comparing the success of the London's financial community, which is dominated by foreign companies, with the the Championships at Wimbleton, a renowned tennis tournament which has been rarely been won by players from the United Kingdom.

I know my suggestion here won't be any good word-for-word...I'm not that aquainted with London despite having been born there and I know even less about Wimbledon. I hope this suggestion is helpful. Badgering your work was never my intent. Shaundakulbara 12:16, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to lay out the content more clearly. I don't think explanation of each term is necessary in wikipedia articles due to the use of wikilinks, but I agree that the article could be made to be easier to follow. Bwithh 12:30, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed with the OP. This article is terribly written and impossible to understand. I didn't understand it until I read the OP's statement, actually. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.92.185.88 (talk) 05:30, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is reference in the last paragraph to Eurasia as a continent: there is no such continent. The continent to which China belongs is Asia. Japan is also in Asia. Reference to skinniness as a measure of modelling success should also be removed. I am not really sure that any reference to modelling is relevant to an article on the Wimbledon effect because modelling is not an industry one considers as being particularly strong in Japan compared to other countries, like say the financial sector in London, or Sumo in Japan.94.10.88.146 (talk) 15:07, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

The last paragraph needs to be rewritten. Two out of the first three sentences aren't even sentences, among other faults.

The term has been also frequently appeared in sports in Japan since late 20th. Including sumo where there has been no Japanese-born yokozuna since 1998 and no Japanese-born champion since 2006 as most of the top players have been from Mongolia or Polynesia. Modeling where nearly a half of the most skinny, most popular, most earning mainstream fashion models have been from the Eurasian continent specifically China since early 2000s, and martial arts (mixed martial arts and kickboxing) where it is hard to find a Japanese-born popular player or champion. The vast majority of the big names in kickboxing, specifically K-1, have been from the Netherlands or Thailand, and much like in the American-based Ultimate Fighting Championship, the vast majority of the big names in mixed martial arts have been from Brazil.
