Nuneaton to play host to the UK’s first outdoor ‘Wimbledon centre court’ of padel tennis. Council leader, councillor Chris Watkins said that there will be a ‘championship’ outdoor padel court within the huge Grayson Place<\/a> development.<\/p>\n “It will be like centre court at Wimbledon, for padel tennis.,” he explained. “It will be the first outdoor championship court in the country.<\/p>\n “It means that we will be able to host outdoor championship games which we hope will attract people from across the country.” The championship padel court will not be the only outdoor court.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Nuneaton Christmas film ‘The Carolers’ to hit America after poignant home town premiere<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n READ MORE: Year-long A5 trunk road weekend works revealed which will impact Nuneaton<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n There will also be a singles court, where padel players can train. There will also be indoor padel courts, based within the ‘leisure box’ on the development off Abbey Street.<\/a> The large grey building was supposed to play home to a new cinema, but the council pulled the plug <\/a>on the deal earlier this year.<\/p>\n It launched a hunt to find a new leisure operator to take over the building and agreed that now Corte Sport\/Hayes Sports Partnership Ltd, which trades as ‘Te Amo Padel’, will use it to offer padel tennis. It is one of the fastest growing sports in the country and loved by celebrities.<\/p>\n “If it is good enough for David Beckham, it is good enough for us,” the council leader added. . The council has said that there is currently no opening date for the indoor and outdoor courts.<\/p>\n This is because it is currently in lease negotiations with Corte Sport\/Hayes Sports Partnership Ltd. Once signed, the firm will then fit out the large grey building as well as outdoor courts.<\/p>\n This, the council says, will happen almost immediately. The indoor building is ready to be fit out and the area for the area for outdoor courts is currently being created.<\/p>\n This is area is directly opposite where the food hall is located.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1766515285_547_0_WhatsApp-Image-2025-12-23-at-102722jpeg.jpg\")
