The Lexus British Open Roehampton will be held at the Wimbledon Qualifying and Community Sports Centre, and both men’s and women’s ITF World Tennis Tour events at the National Tennis Centre. The Wimbledon Qualifying and Community Sports Centre also hosts qualifying for the Grand Slam. However, this is unlikely to continue in future. Futures tournaments regularly take place in Roehampton during the summer.
