Randy Wimbledon fans using the tournament’s quiet rooms for saucy doubles action
RANDY Wimbledon fans are using the tournament’s quiet rooms for saucy doubles.
A flustered couple were seen emerging from one of the booths, which can be marked “engaged” but do not lock.
A source told The Sun: “Everyone around them was joking with them.
“There was no doubt what they had been up to.”
Another visitor who hoped to use a room for a period of quiet reflection told The Sun he had heard a pair kissing next door.
Wimbledon’s access guide says of the rooms: “Located in the Southern Village, the Quiet Room is a space where guests can retreat for a moment of private meditation, prayer or reflection or simply to escape the crowds around the Grounds.”

A member of staff has been allocated to man the entrances to the rooms but there are sessions during the day when no one manages who goes in.
It comes after residents pinned up a notice in nearby woods asking visitors not to romp.
A note from a worried resident has been pinned up on a tree in Wimbledon Park.
It says: “Game Sex and Match NO THANKS.”
"Visiting tennis fans please respect our park and woodland.
"Anti-social behaviour such as drugs, booze and sex parties will not be tolerated.
"Police patrol this area regularly and you have been warned. Thanks for your consideration. Enjoy the tennis!"
One concerned resident told the : "In the summer all sorts goes on in the woods.
"But during Wimbledon fortnight, especially if the weather gets hot, people get carried away and pop into the woods.
“I’ve seen couples having sex, drugs parties, everything really.
“With so many fans camping in the park it turns into a big party after dark and people just get carried away especially if they’ve been knocking back the Pimms all day.
“We’ve put notices up in the past, but they just get ripped down.
“Hopefully the police will step up their patrols this year and kick out anyone they catch wanting a love match.”
