Wimbledon appoints its first female Chair in history with the appointment of former British player Debbie Jevans.
She is to become the Vice-Chair before taking over from the outgoing Ian Hewitt when he steps down after this summer’s Championships.
Jevans has won out in the race to succeed him over businessman Kevin Havelock and the decision was officially announced by Wimbledon on Thursday.
