Queensland Tennis Centre needs upgrades to host Olympics

Tennis Queensland and Tennis Australia are concerned that without upgrades, the Queensland Tennis Centre may not host tennis events for the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics. They warn that Melbourne could take over if necessary improvements are not made. The proposed upgrades include adding more courts, a new arena, and increasing seating capacity. Currently, the main arena holds 5,500 seats, but the International Tennis Federation requires a venue that can accommodate 10,000 spectators. The findings from a 100-day review of the Queensland Tennis Centre will be released on March 25. Tennis Queensland emphasizes that the upgrades are essential to meet international standards and ensure the events can be held in Queensland.
