All England Club Chairman Philip Brook tells the members of the Lawn Tennis Writers' Association that a roof for the No. 1 Court will be one of the major considerations in their next development project, "Wimbledon 2020."
"A roof for No. 1 Court has to be part of our thinking," he said. "It would be remiss not to consider that. When the new No. 1 Court was built [in 1996] it was built roof-ready, physically able to take a structure. It would give a second court for broadcasting live tennis, a second group of happy customers, and more certainty about completing the tournament if you get bad weather in the second week."
