Wimbledon is in no danger of being left behind by Melbourne or New York. It may not be the biggest but it is the best. By the time this is all finished Wimbledon will have two courts with retractable roofs. Flushing Meadows doesn't even have one. What the All England Club lacks in size it more than makes up for in it's charm and as for moving, not a chance in hell. There would be outrage.
apnoakes AA stadium got a roof last year. Louis Armstrong Stadium is due one next year. So by 2018 USO will have two covered courts. That now leaves FO way behind.
AO redevelopment will be complete by 2023 RG will have second roof in few years US Open renovation DONE! Wimbledon master plan is delayed.... Now what?
How about they buy the Golf Course across the road. It's a huge area and they could put in Car parks, Hotel, Indoor Tennis arena, more courts, Tennis academy, admin offices, Players accommodation, bars, restaurants, cafes, museum, fanzone, media centre, VIP areas.
The AEC bought the freehold of the golf course from Merton Council for a bargain £5.5million in 1993, but the lease lasts until 2041, and only then can plans be implemented to extend the tennis tournament on to the adjoining land.The 800 golf members have voted to play on for over two more decades, although one option considered was to negotiate an early exit with their super-rich tennis neighbours in return for a big fee and help in finding a new home.
One day I would LOVE to go to Wimbledon and watch the great tennis that I've been admiring since I was 8 year old watching it from my family's living room TV in person and finally experience that which has garnered by attention for so long. Hopefully in another lifetime I can go to Wimbledon as a professional and win this great championship. Just a young man's dream.
When is work going to begin on this project? I personally feel in this case that seat numbers and size does not matter. This is Wimbledon, nothing matches it and nothing never will. I love the English garden idea, there idea makes with what land they have extremely efficient to maximize the potential of the site.
I’m so sad this project is never happening😭 They are going with a bigger project which the tournament will be expanded on golf course to the side and I don’t think that is necessary. It’s just too much. Personally the original master plan was enough and just perfect!
It's perfect. Just do it. I can't wait to see it becomes reality. I only suggest that the lawn south to the Court 12 should be a croquet court. After all, this is still a lawn tennis and croquet club.
Let's see, the last montage. Oh there's Nadal, Fed, Petra ok, Maria, Fed and Djokovic, Murray, and last but not least the Will--oh that's it. Classy, Wimbledon.
Haha watching French Open at the moment and they still haven't got a roof on Philip Chatrier Ct yet. Wimbledon will always be no. 1 and thief above Video is one of the reasons why it always will be: it looks to improve.
Wimbledon badly needs to increase capacity at their courts and a roof over No 2 court. Australian Open will soon have 3 courts with a roof. Wimbledon shouldn't get left behind.
Totally agree they have Henmen hill where thousands sit cuz they can't get tickets. Centre court needs to hold at least 20000 at no 1 court 15 to 16000.
I respect the traditions of Wimbledon, but I think they really need to add lights in the event that matches go into the night on the outdoor courts. Also they should change the Centre Court to where they don’t have to close the roof just for the lights. Or is it a grass thing? Regardless, if a match is going to go into the night, then they shouldn’t have to suspend matches because of darkness, but still not need night matches.
The US Open will have 2 retractable roofs before there's a roof on Court One. Australia will have three in 2015. Both have much higher capacities than Wimbledon and there are even plans for the French Open to have a higher capacity for their third court than the capacity for the No 2 Court at Wimbledon. The All England club should aspire to be ahead of the curve not lagging behind it.
Ser Garlan Tyrell absolutely as no one gives a damn really about the other tournaments as they are significant but not special like Wimbledon as playing at the aeltc is like playing test cricket at Lords Cricket Ground. The sheer elegance speaks for itself and has traditional aspects which are admired and respected by the spectators, media and most importantly the players.
Emmanuel C. Abasolument pas d’accord. C’est une idée reçue stupide. Les 4 grands chelems sont tous légendaires. Il y a aussi des choses à redire sur Wimbledon. Personnellement je préfère regarder Roland garros car les échanges durent plus longtemps, on assiste parfois à de vrais combats de gladiateurs. Wimbledon est légendaire mais le jeu se résume à des rallyes de 3-4 coups en général. Aussi, le gazon c’est formidable, vraiment agréable d’y jouer si tu en as la chance un jour. La chance, car même en Angleterre, il y a très très très peu de courts sur gazon et encore moins de courts corrects et praticables. Le système de loterie pour les licenciés de la lta est en revanche une bonne chose. Elle permet d’avoir des stades pleins, remplis de vrais passionnés. Les deux autres, je connais moins mais me font tout autant rêver.
Wimbledon needs Court 2 and Court 3 to have 6,000 capacity each minimum. The All England Club is really being left behind by Melbourne Park and Flushing Meadows. If they can't expand the current area they need to move.
No matter what renovation that has taken place it exudes class and will continue to do so with the proposed works

US Open renovation DONE!
Wimbledon master plan is delayed.... Now what?
At 8:08 you can really see the opportunity they have to expand Court 2 into a premier third court with eventual roof. I really hope they do this.

Doing it tomorrow, just a tour hopefully but another veterans dream

Works been ongoing for years, just very slow progress, took them years to just put a roof on no1 court
I went two times and once to RG, I have to say I love wimbledon for it's class, but I felt things were more easy going at RG
In RG we will have 2 roofs, we are like wimbledon
@@Hugo-cn9no génial, parfait!
This project is delayed.... Very sad :(
Does anyone have any updates on this???

Delete your comment....
This is going to look reallllllllllll
Dumb ...And PREDICTABLE 🙄

good documentation .......

01cipas Maybe if they expand the No. 2 Court. The stadium doesn’t look that big right now.
Totally agree they have Henmen hill where thousands sit cuz they can't get tickets. Centre court needs to hold at least 20000 at no 1 court 15 to 16000.
is henman hill still going to be there
Looks Awesome
looks amazing, can't wait!!

How do the locals benefit?
Looks prity cool...
Federer in the Best on Grass Tournament.
Without increase the center court capacity...It's really waste doing all this
one could even describe this as a "final solution"
support for the local community by the local community can't use the facilities.
The US Open will have 2 retractable roofs before there's a roof on Court One. Australia will have three in 2015. Both have much higher capacities than Wimbledon and there are even plans for the French Open to have a higher capacity for their third court than the capacity for the No 2 Court at Wimbledon.

As Yoda says, size matters not. Wimbledon has and always will have a character that the other Grand Slam facilities can only dream to match.
Ser Garlan Tyrell agreed

@@sergarlantyrell7847 bulshit
Il y a d'abord Wimbledon.
Les autre tournois sont presque secondaires.
Les joueurs (même Nadal) disent tous que l'atmosphère y est différente.

n'importe quoi
Haha ... the first four players at the end of the video are already out at the second round. Oops! You better check who you put in the video ... hmmmm
Tennis is not a sport. It is war between two mans. In the rule fo all England club
This is relevant to the Wimbledon master plan, how?
Wimbledon is older and classier than roland garros.The place looks way classier than roland garros
needs more grass areas to sit and watch n screen not stupid flower gardens no one can sit on
Wimbledon needs Court 2 and Court 3 to have 6,000 capacity each minimum. The All England Club is really being left behind by Melbourne Park and Flushing Meadows. If they can't expand the current area they need to move.
America is facing bankruptcy once in awhile; because we have neglected the net income by innovating one United Stadium.
This video is maybe a curse lol :p
the magic has gone. it doesn't feel the same. u get a better tennis crowd at the o2. this is just a mid summer social event.
