No.1&2&3 Court

Built in 1997, the current No. 1 Court boasts a spectator capacity of 11,432. It has been confirmed that a retractable roof is to be built over No.1 Court.

The original No. 2 Court, which has been renumbered as No.3 Court since 2009, was informally referred to as the Graveyard of Champions. This tag was coined as many former champions fell to ignominious defeats on the No. 2 Court, including Serena and Venus Williams.
