    Wimbledon

    How is pronounced "Wimbledon"? Which syllable is stressed?
    Is it true that it's "...доун" at the end?
    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    The stress is on the first syllable; WIM-bl-don. The o is pronounced as a schwa, so it's certainly not "...доун".
