A roof will also appear above Wimbledon's first court

The modernization, which will allow you to carry out matches on the first court in any weather, will cost the All-English Lun Tennis club in 88 million euros. The work will be completed by 2019, reports Eventing Standard .

Five years earlier, the central court of Wimbledon got a fifth -moving roof. Then the construction cost a amount significantly exceeding 150 million euros.

Wimbledon is part of the four tournaments of the "Big Herler" and is the oldest and most prestigious of them. Last summer, his winner was Novak Djokovic , who had overcome the most titled tennis player in the final of Roger Federer.

Modernization will make it less to deviate from the schedule of planned matches (due to bad weather), which means that the audience will win, as well as television companies that experience serious inconvenience when direct broadcasts begin to “slide” along the air grid.
