The All England Lawn cebo Tennis Club has taken a major step towards building a new 8,000-seater show court and 38 further courts on Wimbledon Park after the controversial plans were approved by Merton Council following a mammoth five-hour meeting cebo
The development will take place on the land of Wimbledon Park Golf Club, located opposite the cebo tennis club on the other side of Church Road, with plans for a range of amenities for fans, players and staff as well as the new courts cebo
Local residents and park users had battled passionately against the proposal, with an cebo online petition called “Save Wimbledon Park” garnering 13,000 signatures cebo
Concerns were raised over the environmental impact of the development and the loss of green space cebo
Around 2,000 trees are expected to be removed across some 75 acres of Metropolitan Open Land, which is intended to be protected as an area of landscape, recreation, nature conservation or scientific interest cebo
Protestors chanted “trees not cebo tennis!” outside Merton’s Civic Centre, where the decision was being made late on Thursday night and into the early hours of Friday morning cebo
However, the approval was expected after a 524-page document published earlier this month recommended that planning permission should be granted because the public benefits outweighed harm to heritage assets cebo
The AELTC has insisted the space will be available for local people to enjoy, saying: “The new 23-acre public park will be completely free for the local community to enjoy and will be accessible year-round except for the period during Qualifying and The Championships cebo
This will open up a beautiful new parkland on what was previously a private golf course and which has been inaccessible to the public for well over 100 years cebo
”A map used by protestors to highlight their concerns over the proposal (@SaveWimbldnPark/X)But Fleur Anderson, the MP for Putney, Southfields and Roehampton, had said on Thursday on the BBC’s Politics London show: “There’s no protection that in five years’ time, the Wimbledon club will not come back and say ‘we’re going to build hotels on that land’ or anything they want on that land cebo
There’s a climate emergency, people want to save our local parks… it’s about saving our green spaces cebo
”The AELTC bought the golf course for £65m in 2018, but struggled to secure the required legal and procedural permissions to build cebo
The club plans to play Championship qualifying matches on the expanded site, rather than outsourcing those matches to Roehampton where they are currently played, effectively making Wimbledon a bigger, longer tournament and increasing maximum grounds capacity from 42,000 to 50,000 cebo
Merton borough earns a significant portion of its revenues from hosting the Wimbledon Championships each year cebo
In outlining its plans, the All England Club said: “The AELTC seeks continually to ensure that the Championships, proudly a local and national asset, remains a world-leading sporting event cebo
“Bringing the qualifying event on site in order to improve it to be worthy of our world-class player field, enhancing practice and junior event facilities and providing a third ‘show court’ are all measures aimed at ensuring Wimbledon remains the world’s premier cebo tennis tournament, with all the associated substantial social and economic benefits that the event brings, locally and nationally cebo
”The AELTC will also need approval from Wandsworth Council, whose boundary cuts through the northern portion of the site, and there is expected to be a vote next month cebo
The plans could also be referred to the London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, given the level of contention, and may eventually require the sign off of the housing minister Michael Gove cebo
The plans were originally submitted in 2021 and, if given the final go-ahead, Wimbledon anticipates that the new courts will be ready for use in 2030 cebo

It was in Charles Oliveira’s final round of sparring, according to Dana White, that the skin over the Brazilian’s right eye was torn apart – and with it, his chance of redemption against Islam Makhachev cebo
Days out from one of the most-anticipated rematches in recent MMA history, Oliveira suffered a chasmic cut, and from the bloody sinews, Alexander Volkanovski emerged cebo
With that, one tantalising rematch was replaced by another; the MMA gods had taken away Oliveira’s opportunity for redemption against the lightweight champion, but in an instant, they had granted Volkanovski his own opportunity at the same atonement cebo
There were only a handful of grains left to fall on Oliveira, brooding inside his metaphorical sandglass, when the injury occurred; it was on 22 October 2022 that the former champion was submitted by Makhachev, and it was to be 364 days later that he would be locked in a cage with the Russian again – in the very same arena, no less, in Abu Dhabi cebo
But for a reason known only to them, the MMA deities decided to deny this cult hero his chance of defeating Makhachev, and of regaining the UFC lightweight title cebo
Oliveira, for his part, does not acknowledge these gods – only his own cebo
“Once you realise that it’s all part of God’s plan, it’s easier to accept things,” Oliveira told The Independent, coincidentally, days before suffering his injury cebo
“It took me a long time to understand that, but you just have to be able to learn to digest it cebo
God wouldn’t give me something that I can’t carry cebo
”RecommendedUFC 294 live stream: How to watch Volkanovski vs Makhachev cebo online and on TV this weekendAlexander Volkanovski admits it’s ‘crazy’ to fight Islam Makhachev on short noticeKamaru Usman to face Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 294 after Paulo Costa withdrawsOliveira will lean all of his weight on that sentiment in the weeks to come, while 145lbs champion Volkanovski will be leaning his own weight – plus an extra 10lbs – on Makhachev in their second clash in eight months cebo
When the Australian, fighting on home turf in February, was ruled a decision loser against Makhachev, the result hardly relayed the razor-close nature of the fight cebo
Volkanovski, 35, landed more strikes than Makhachev, 30, but was marginally less clinical cebo
Makhachev secured four of his nine attempted takedowns, though that actually inspired more praise of Volkanovski than the Russian; in repeatedly denying Makhachev – and in repeatedly rising from the mat when needed – Volkanovski had proven that the defending champion was not the unstoppable force that his friend and coach Khabib Nurmagomedov so often seemed cebo

The impressiveness of Volkanovski’s performance was only augmented by the fact that he was moving up in weight cebo
In fact, the Australian remained the Indy Sport pound-for-pound No 1 despite his loss to Makhachev cebo
It was a showing in stark contrast to Oliveira’s against Makhachev, in which the jiu-jitsu specialist was beaten at his own game: submitted by the Russian wrestler in Round 2 cebo
Oliveira did not do himself justice that night, but justice was on the agenda for UFC 294 cebo
Instead, Volkanovski will bring his well-rounded game to the Etihad Arena, where he weighed in as a back-up fighter for Oliveira’s defeat by Makhachev one year ago cebo
Since that fateful evening, Oliveira has bounced back with a dismissive knockout of Beneil Dariush, while Volkanovski also got back to winning ways by stopping interim featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez in July cebo

Those circumstances complicate the question of whether Volkanovski can go one cebo better than he did in his initial clash with Makhachev; this time, the Aussie will challenge the Russian on just 11 days’ notice, having recently undergone hand surgery cebo
Volkanovski is a consummate professional who will arrive as fight-fit as his body will allow, but even “Alexander The Great” has admitted that he does not want to find out how his cardio will hold up cebo
“We’ll try to make sure it doesn’t go five rounds,” he told Australian media last week cebo
“I want to finish it early, I don’t want to test his gas tank cebo
Don’t get me wrong, I think I can do it, but let’s not try and test it cebo
”Oliveira would have snapped your hand off for such a finish cebo
cebo Better yet, he would have snapped Makhachev’s arm off for one cebo
If Volkanovski can secure a stoppage, it will be one of the most arresting visuals in UFC history, in part due to the factors surrounding this new main event cebo
The same would apply to the co-main event, in which Kamaru Usman is on a similar venture to Volkanovski cebo
The former welterweight champion will fight at 185lbs for the first time as he replaces Paulo Costa against Khamzat Chimaev, perhaps the fiercest prospect in MMA, on 10 days’ notice cebo
For all of the attributes that the Nigerian-American has exhibited in a Hall of Fame-worthy career, never has his courage been as clear as it is now cebo

“I didn’t get that big moment of the whole underdog story,” he said last week, discussing the pair’s first bout cebo
“I remember thinking just a few days ago: ‘I’m not gonna really get that moment if I fight him again, I’m not gonna be this crazy underdog cebo
’ People [have seen] what I can do, so they’re gonna back me cebo
But now on 11 days’ notice, I’m sort of in the same position, where people are gonna say: ‘There’s no way – short notice, he’s crazy cebo
’”Volkanovski may just be cebo
He is also one of the most courageous fighters in a field full of them cebo
Of course, Makhachev also deserves credit; he, too, is fighting a pound-for-pound talent on short notice cebo
Indeed, many fans have remarked on how the fighters’ gambles have made UFC 294 an even stronger card than it already was cebo
It is the sort of rebound against adversity that cebo boxing, for example, would never be able to execute cebo
However, that is in large part due to the lower prize money on offer in the UFC, and the resultant need for fighters to take risks cebo
Yet it is also partly down to the overemphasis on losses in cebo boxing cebo
If Volkanovski were to suffer a third career loss on Saturday, he would still be in the conversation around modern UFC greats – perhaps all-timers, too cebo
Would a champion or contender in cebo boxing risk their record and reputation by fighting an elite opponent on a compromised camp? There is little evidence for it, monetarily there is no need for it, but there also shouldn’t be an expectation of it; just as there should be no expectation for a UFC fighter to accept a short-notice fight, even when the alternative is fans disputing their bravery cebo
Make no mistake: Although Volkanovski is one of the most-respected fighters in the UFC and is being heralded as a hero right now, he would have had his detractors if he had turned down this fight – even on 11 days’ notice cebo
It is as true as it is hard to believe cebo
Makhachev and Volkanovski facing off ahead of their first fight (Zuffa LLC via Getty Images)When fan favourite Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson refused to fight Michel Pereira in July, after the Brazilian missed weight, Thompson was criticised for not going ahead with the bout and accepting a slight bump to his purse cebo
Never mind the danger to Thompson’s health and prospects of ever challenging for a UFC title again, many fans were quick to turn on the veteran cebo
On that occasion, it was too late for a replacement to be found, and the bout collapsed cebo
Even Oliveira and Costa have had their fair share of criticism for withdrawing from UFC 294, despite their injuries and the calibre of their opponents cebo
Volkanovski has gotten credit in the build to UFC 294, but the last week has highlighted how fans tend to praise the UFC’s recovery in situations like this, rather than focusing on the unideal factors that allow the company to adapt in this manner cebo
And so, a cut above Charles Oliveira’s eye became a tear in the fabric of UFC 294, only for the promotion to stitch the card back together as only they can cebo
