💨 Abstract

A judge has dismissed a legal challenge against Wimbledon's expansion plans, which aim to nearly triple the tournament grounds. The Save Wimbledon Park group opposed the project due to environmental concerns and the preservation of open spaces. The expansion includes an 8,000-seat stadium and additional grass courts. The All England Club plans to move qualifying events on-site to boost attendance and revenue. The next legal step is a hearing in January regarding a potential statutory trust over the former golf course land.
