    The changes to the grass patterns can be explained by vastly improved landscaping techniques and products. Also, the grass could be a different variety now than 40 years ago.

      Yep, got suckered in to the article just for them to say it at the end.

      It’s also possible that these pictures overstate the change. Beyond more durable grass, Wimbledon has also added more courts to the tennis complex since the 1990s, meaning fewer games need to be played at Centre Court. Ergo: less wear and tear.
