Wimbledon Given Green Light For Controversial Expansion Plan
Wimbledon have been given the green light to go ahead with their controversial plans to expand the historic venue for the grass-court Grand Slam. The All England Club's proposal to build 39 new courts, including an 8,000-seat show court, on the adjacent former Wimbledon Park Golf Club was passed on Friday by London's deputy mayor for planning Jules Pipe. Wimbledon will nearly triple the size of its current site once the project is completed.
