Ask for trouble - tragedy at Wimbledon, maybe? (5,8)

I believe the answer is:

court disaster

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ask for trouble' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tragedy at wimbledon maybe?' is the wordplay.
'tragedy' becomes 'disaster' (synonyms).
'at' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'wimbledon maybe?' becomes 'court' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'disaster' after 'court' is 'COURT DISASTER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for court disaster that I've seen is " Ask for trouble".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
