No. 1 Court is a tennis court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Wimbledon, London. The current No. 1 Court stadium was opened in 1997 and has a capacity of 12,345. It is used primarily for the Wimbledon Championships and it occasionally hosts Great Britain's home Davis Cup ties.
The current No. 1 Court superseded the original, now-demolished No. 1 Court, which had stood on the west side of Centre Court since 1924 and was used in 67 Wimbledon Championships. The old No. 1 Court had a spectator capacity of 7,328 at its largest. The old court was replaced by the Millennium Building, the media centre and facilities for players, members, and officials.
