Wimbledon have been told to scrap warm-ups on the court to make it a better spectacle for the fans. However, it could serious hit the All England Club in the coffers as spetators would not have the time to pop out for food and beverages or they risk missing the action.
Players competing at the Championships use Aorangi Park, located towards the north side of Court 1, to warm up before their matches. There is a huge warm-up facility along with 22 grass courts that can be booked.

Grounds pass holders are not allowed into that section but they can wait outside to cacth a glimpse of their favourite player walking past.
Once the players have concluded their warm-up there, they then head to their court and conduct the coin toss before commencing another five-minute warm-up on the court. Usually at this point, the crowd has dispersed to purchase refreshments or use the toilets.
But former British No.1 Kyle Edmund wants this section of the day written off - and it could be a costly change if Wimbledon bosses consider the move, with food and drinks kiosks surely to be hit.
"The one thing I would like to change is take out the five-minute warm-up," Edmund said.
"Just from watching the other sports - I think it's probably not going to happen - but I think there's something to be said for the product of the spectacle... when you come on court, you spin [the racket], two serves, I'd like to serve, I'd like this end, we play.
"I think that would be quite interesting. I do know they trialled that at the NextGen finals in the last two years. But I'd love to see that on the pro circuit, I think it would make such a difference."
Edmund has become a regular on the BBC since retiring at 30 last summer. The 2018 Australian Open semi-finalist was even cheekily called out by a colleague live on air during the first day of the tournament.
