MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Vote opens door for Wimbledon’s future

Wimbledon’s future was being determined Wednesday, at the golf club across the street.

Ownership of the 73 acres reverts to the AELTC – in 2041. The club made a $90 million offer to move that date up 20 years.

The extra space for expansion could move the Roehampton qualifying on site.

But … per the club’s charter, only 10-year members would benefit. So it was dead in the water.

The news Wednesday was that a vote to allow all members to share the bounty received the requisite 75 per cent.

A final vote on accepting the offer comes in December.
