The Graveyard Is No More

The famed “Graveyard” court at Wimbledon – Court No. 2 – is no longer. The Graveyard met the gallows this week as officials at the All England Club demolished the court in its on-going efforts to refurbish the grounds and create more space for fans. The court has been the site of many upsets through the years, perhaps most notably as the court where Pete Sampras played his last Wimbledon match, a second-round upset loss to qualifier George Bastl of Switzerland in 2002.
