Des actes de vandalisme endommagent les courts en gazon de Devonshire Park avant l'Open d'Eastbourne

Des actes de vandalisme ont endommagé plusieurs courts en gazon de Devonshire Park à Eastbourne, à peine plus d'un mois avant le début du Lexus Eastbourne Open, prévu le 22 juin. Le chef du conseil municipal d'Eastbourne, Stephen Holt, a qualifié l'incident d'acte de vandalisme gratuit et scandaleux. La sécurité a été renforcée tandis que la police examine les images de vidéosurveillance afin d'identifier les responsables.

Les dégradations ont eu lieu lors des préparatifs de ce prestigieux tournoi sur gazon, qui constitue une étape de préparation clé pour Wimbledon. Le personnel municipal s'attelle à la réparation des courts pour garantir qu'ils soient prêts à être remis à la LTA à temps pour l'événement.
