This is what Wimbledon's No 1 court will look like after the reconstruction

The All England Club has released plans for the new-look No 1 Court at Wimbledon.

Work on the £70m reconstruction will begin after this year's championships, and it will first be used in 2019.

Just like Centre Court, the new No 1 Court - designed by Sir Robert McAlpine, the company behind London's Olympic Stadium - will have a retractable roof.

The court will be used in the 2017 championships, but without the roof.

The final capacity will rise by 900, up to 12,400, and add a new two-level public plaza which will take the place of Court No 19.
