Wimbledon celebra o centenário do icónico Court Central

By Chris Dinsdale

July 3, 2022 - Wimbledon, o terceiro torneio Grand Slam da temporada, tem lugar em Londres, Inglaterra. Este ano, os Campeonatos de Wimbledon assinalam o centenário do Court Central, o icónico court que assistiu a tantos momentos desportivos cramáticos, com uma cerimónia especial no domingo, 3 de julho..

The Wimbledon Championships began in 1877 but rapidly became popular and to meet growing public demand the tournament moved to its much larger, present day location in 1922.

Centre Court has embraced the introduction of television and survived bombing raids during World War II. In 2012 it became the first Grand Slam venue to host the tennis competition at the Olympic Games.

Centre Court’s enthusiastic but respectful crowds have been captivated by global icons of the men’s and women’s game, and occasionally get to cheer on a British champion.

The famous court recently underwent a three-year renovation project to expand capacity and install a retractable roof to protect play from the often inclement British weather.
