:Centre Court is also a generic British English term for the main court at any tennis complex. Centre Court is the main court at the Wimbledon Championship, the 3rd annual Grand Slam event of the tennis calendar. It is situated adjacent to Aorangi Terrace and is home to the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Its only regular use is for the two weeks a year that the Championships take place, but it is arguably the most famous tennis venue in the world. Centre Court has a premier box that the Royal Family uses, as well as other distinguished guests, and is also known by its postcode SW19. A retractable roof was installed in 2009, enabling play to continue during rain. Centre Court will also host the tennis competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics along with No. 1 Court and No. 2 Court. |
