It was the 9th staging of the Wimbledon Championships, and the first Grand Slam tennis event of 1885.[5] There was a change in the draw method, to use the Bagnall Wild system, in which all byes were restricted to the opening round, instead of being distributed through all the rounds until the final.[5] There were 3500 spectators for the Challenge Round.[5]
