LONDON: Tennis-lovers camp out overnight for Wimbledon tickets - and the All England Club's boss wants to keep it that way, having slept on the pavement himself to get in.
Every day, approximately 500 tickets are available on each of Centre Court, Court One and Court Two for those in the queue. "We haven't looked at technology for the queue. I wouldn't consider it, not for the foreseeable future."Wimbledon remains one of the very few major British sporting events where visitors can still buy premium tickets on the day.Since 2008, fans queue on the soft grass in neighbouring Wimbledon Park in southwest London rather than on the hard pavement alongside the All England Club boundary walls.
In Centre Court's Royal Box on Saturday, Australian great Laver, 80, was presented with a special replica of the men's trophy to mark the 50th anniversary of his fourth and final Wimbledon title.Lewis went to meet fans camping out on middle Sunday, when Wimbledon has a rest day.
