The Wimbledon World Lawn Tennis Professional Championships also known as the Wimbledon Pro, was a men's tennis tournament held in August 1967. The tournament was sponsored and broadcast by the BBC to mark the invention of colour television. It was the first tournament staged at Wimbledon that was open to male professional tennis players and it had a prize fund of US$45,000. The singles competition was an eight man knockout event won by Rod Laver, who received £3,000, whilst the doubles was a four team knockout event won by Pancho Gonzales and Andrés Gimeno.
