No. 2 Court is a tennis court at theAll England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club,Wimbledon, London. Unlike the other threeGrand Slam events, Wimbledon does not name its main courts after famous players, choosing instead to use numbers, with the exception ofCentre Court.
The original No. 2 Court had a capacity of 2,192 seated and 770 standing and was informally referred to as theGraveyard of Champions until it was renumbered as theNo. 3 Court from the 2009 Championships.[1] The Court itself was then demolished to make way for a new No. 3 court and new Court 4 ready for the2011 Championships.[2]
TheGraveyard of Champions tag was coined as many former champions fell to ignominious defeats on the No. 2 Court, including:[3]
For the2009 Championships a new No. 2 court was built on the site of the previous No. 13 court, with a capacity of 4,000. The old No. 2 was briefly renamedNo. 3 Court before its subsequent demolition.[5]
