As you know the dates of Wimbledon have changed by one week in order to create a three week gap between Roland Garros and Wimbledon . The three week gap will give the players more time to prepare for Wimbledon and additional time to recuperate from the demands of playing Roland Garros . It will also provide the chance to spend further time practising and taking advantage of the enhanced competitive opportunities as part of a longer grass court season in the build-up to The Championships . Consequently, we hope the players will arrive at The Championships having had the best possible preparation and in a condition which allows them to demonstrate their talent and skills on what is widely regarded as the finest stage in world tennis . It is a stage which could not be built without the support of our debenture holders and I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the success of the most recent Centre Court debenture issue and acknowledge the hugely important role that our debenture holders play in helping to secure the long-term future of The Championships . The proceeds of this debenture issue allow us to continue our investment programme, which will include building a roof over No .1 Court, as well as a rolling refurbishment of Centre Court debenture restaurants and bars over the next few years . This year’s Championships promises to be another enthralling event and I very much hope you have an enjoyable and memorable visit to Wimbledon .
