The AELTC argues it needs to expand to remain competitive with other grand slams, citing inadequacies in practice facilities, qualifying tournaments, and court stature.
Local residents and MPs challenge the necessity of expanding Wimbledon, emphasizing its historical significance while raising concerns about environmental impact and community disruption.
With plans to build an 8,000-seat show court and 38 practice courts, the AELTC anticipates significant increases in visitors and a restructured qualifying tournament.
Critics warn that the proposed expansion risks 'corporate ecocide,' involving the loss of numerous trees and ten years of local disruption, fostering a tennis industrial complex.
