LONDON (Reuters) -Wimbledon's plans to expand the grounds for the world's oldest and most prestigious Grand Slam tennis tournament overcame its first legal hurdle on Monday, as London's High Court rejected a challenge to the project by campaigners.
Campaign group Save Wimbledon Park took legal action over planning permission granted to the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC), which wants to treble the size of its main site in a 200 million-pound ($269.6-million) project.
