To many people ‘Wimbledon’ means the Centre Court. The stadium surrounding this famous patch of grass was built in 1922 and has been gradually upgraded and renewed ever since. While it suffers from compromised sightlines from some seats, the stadium does in many ways give the most satisfy- ing ‘tennis experience’ in the world: the tight cluster- ing of spectators round the grass court, under a low roof which reflects the buzz of sound and applause from the fans beneath, creates an intimate theatrical atmosphere and an intensity of concentration which are missing from most other venues. To prepare the Club for the next century a comprehensive 20-year master plan for the entire site has been prepared and implemented. It includes a new No 1 court designed to replicate the intimate Centre Court atmosphere.
