Wimbledon’s grass courts stay notably green as much of London’s surrounding lawns turn brown during a record heat wave, according to multiple outlets. Reports say that last week’s unusually high temperatures across Britain and parts of Europe caused grass in many outdoor areas to dry out and discolor. Despite this broader weather impact, the grounds at the tennis tournament continue to appear well maintained. One account highlights American player Madison Keys commenting that she has never had to think about the watering of the grass during play, adding that Wimbledon’s courts look consistently lush. The coverage frames the difference as a contrast between the general conditions affecting lawns around London and the tournament’s curated grass environment as matches proceed at the grass-court Grand Slam. Overall, the reports focus on the weather-driven browning outside the venue while noting that Wimbledon’s courts retain their condition during the start and progression of the tournament.
