Preparing for The Championships

Preparations for The Championships start immediately after the preceding tournament. Improvements are considered and implemented by the Committee of Management and All England Club staff.

Between Championships, the Club has regular dialogue with key groups such as Metropolitan Police, local authorites, voluntary bodies, residents, transport providers and other interested parties to consider matters arising during the Fortnight and to monitor progress on suggested improvements.

Maintenance of Courts

Grass renovation to the Centre and No.1 Courts starts immediately after The Championships and on the other courts during August and September.

The Centre Court and No.1 Court are re-sown each year, as soon as possible after The Championships. Contrary to popular belief they are not re-turfed. The outside courts, although used considerably more throughout the year, are also oversown.
