They can't play the Davis cup at wimbledon. I mean while it'd be cool and they'd get big crowds the tie is JUST after the tournament. Can you think what condition the grass'd be in. The club neet to use that time to bring it back up to the lush green it is week one, not let the davis cup team thrash on it training all week and then play 5 more 5 setters on it!

I also read somewhere that they want to replace the natural grass with a synthetic variant. Tennis is losing a fan in that case.....

Ill change my decision, I wont quit watching tennis. Andy and people out here mean too much to me to quit it.
But it will tear my heart for sure, if it happens that is.

they've been planning that for years, so far no roof... I believe every roof they looked at would have caused a micro-climate which would have made the ground wet anyway... rain under the roof basically.
