The All England Club's plans to expand Wimbledon with 39 new tennis courts, including an 8,000-seater show court, faced opposition from Wandsworth Council, which recommended refusal of the application. However, plans for the new show court were ultimately approved despite over 2,000 objections. The venue, designed by Allies and Morrison, will feature a retractable roof to minimize its impact on surrounding parkland. The setback does not signal the end of the expansion plans.
