Q.Why at wimbledon do the outside courts have extention pieces on each side of the net & the show courts dont
A.On outside courts at Wimbledon, the same net is used for singles & doubles matches. As the singles court is narrower, extra posts are inserted to keep the net height at these posts correct. On show courts, a different net is used for singles and doubles matches, and the posts moved accordingly.
