Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam tournament that holds its\u00a0qualifying rounds at a completely separate location\u00a0\u2014 which would be remedied in the\u00a0club\u2019s expansion plans. The All England Club hopes to add a new 8,000-seat stadium and dozens of other courts in an expansion that would boost attendance and revenue.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/orlandorelocationreport.com\/?p=5759\">Uruguay and Man United midfielder Manuel Ugarte sustains knee ligament damage at the World Cup<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wimbledon, the oldest Grand Slam tennis tournament, starts Monday on the manicured lawns of the All England Club.
