In recent years the Club has undergone major refurbishment with the addition of new broadcast facilities, a new No.1 court in

Aorangi Park, extra grass courts and the creation of a tunnel linking Church Road and Somerset Road. In this picture you

can also clearly see the enlarged Centre Court, with its retractable roof.
