This Friday, September 27, marks a before and after in the history of Wimbledon. After investing €65 million in some land near the All England Club a few years ago, the London City Council has finally given the green light for the massive expansion of the third Grand Slam of the season. We will witness the construction of 39 new courts so that the event can host the qualifiers on the same grounds and not in Roehampton, although the project's dates suggest it might not be completed until around 2030.

Of those 39 courts, one will hold 8,000 spectators, a third stadium with a roof will be built, and a total of 50,000 more people will be able to attend Wimbledon each day, a huge growth so that it doesn't fall behind the other Slams. What's the downside? The environmental impact the area will face due to the construction, although it seems that the economic benefits have ended up carrying more weight in the Council's decision.
