Centre Court is again sold out and amongst the spectators are familiar faces — regular guests from near and far, including many celebrities, politicians, businesspersons, top sportsmen like skier Hansi Hinterseer and golf champion Bernhard Langer or racing drivers like Jacky Ickx and Jochen Mass. One no longer comes to be seen but to see something special for oneself in a pleasant and homely atmosphere.
