No. 2 Court is a tennis court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Wimbledon, London. Unlike the other three Grand Slam events, Wimbledon does not name its main courts after famous players, choosing instead to use numbers, with the exception of Centre Court.
The original No. 2 Court had a capacity of 2,192 seated and 770 standing and was informally referred to as the Graveyard of Champions until it was renumbered as the No. 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 the 2011 Championships.[2]
The Graveyard of Champions tag was coined as many former champions fell to ignominious defeats on the No. 2 Court, including:[3]
For the 2009 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 renamed No. 3 Court before its subsequent demolition.[5]
