Wimbledon day of rest to be scrapped

Wimbledon's traditional 'Middle Sunday' day of rest will be scrapped from next year - moving the tennis championships to a 14-day event.

Chairman Ian Hewitt has also confirmed they're continuing to plan for a minimum capacity of 25-percent at this summer's competition.

Hewitt revealed taking out pandemic insurance has paid off to the tune of 180-million-pounds - covering Wimbledon's losses from last year's cancelled event.
