Aorangi Terrace, commonly known as "Henman Hill", alongside a series of other nicknames,[1] is a mostly grassed banked area in the grounds of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club where, during the annual Wimbledon tennis championships, crowds of people without show court tickets can watch the tennis matches live on a giant television screen at the side of No. 1 Court.
During television broadcasts of matches, cameras often sweep over the area, and sports journalists frequently conduct vox pops and interviews with members of the crowd. The terrace is also the main site for spectators to eat picnics.[2]
Aorangi Terrace's nickname of Henman Hill emerged in the late 1990s when British supporters would congregate to watch the matches of Tim Henman at the site.[1][3] The hill is frequently given other alliterative nicknames relating to British players competing at Wimbledon (Rusedski Ridge, Murray Mound,[1]' Heather Hill, Robson Green,[4]Konta Contour, Raducanu Rise,[5]Raducanu Ridge,[6]Norrie Knoll[7] etc.) but Henman Hill has remained the most commonly used phrase.[8][9]
^ abc"Hill / Large Screen". Wimbledon. Retrieved 17 June 2021. More formally known as Aorangi Terrace, the Hill is situated to the north of No.1 Court, and has become a popular area for Grounds Pass Ticket Holders to watch the action on the Show Courts. During the 1990s, it was widely known as 'Henman Hill', as British fans gathered to watch the British No.1 compete in four Wimbledon Semi-finals. It has since also been dubbed 'Murray Mound', reflecting the support for Andy Murray at Wimbledon.
