A patch of grass has been concreted over on Centre Court due to a contractor gaffe on the eve of Wimbledon.
TV viewers tuning in to cheer on the likes of Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu at this year's tournament will notice a large patch of grass missing from one corner of the court in the All England Club's main arena. The affected piece of turf is close to the Royal Box, where VIP visitors will take in the action over the next two weeks.
Mirror Sport understands the problem was caused after a mishap from a contractor called in to help the arena to prepare for Wimbledon. The gaffe, caused by those working on the roof at Centre Court, led to a patch of grass being killed.
