Wimbledon stars have been told to stop looting the tournament for free food after getting their maximum subsidies.
Organizers have emailed players asking them to show restraint and make sure to leave food for others.
Competitors receive a personal daily amount of £ 90 to spend on food and drink at various dedicated restaurants, and one coach per player is allocated about half.
The system, integrated with accreditation labels, aims to ensure that those preparing for big matches do not have to worry about bringing their own food to the grounds of south-west London.
However, it has emerged that numerous competitors have been treating the bonus as a goal rather than a limit, and restaurants sometimes run out of certain products as a result.
A coach left with 27 probiotic yogurts in order to exhaust his 90 pounds.
The situation has caused the All England club to contact all players, including legendary stars such as Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, to ask them to show consideration for their teammates.
The email asks players to be more “judicious” in their use of the bonus.
It is understood that the notice was not made to save costs, but to ensure that players ’outlets do not run out of stock.
The Australian Open has experimented with offering players unlimited food, but the policy was abandoned after it was feared it would be exploited.
Wimbledon competitors and coaches can pay for food simply by scanning their accreditation pass.
There are a total of six different outlets that players can use, including two sandwiches, two restaurants and two cafes.
Wimbledon competitors often gravitate toward the Players ’Lounge, located next to the Court Center, which includes a number of sub-outlets, such as a sushi bar.
Among the best players, Djokovic is arguably the most famous with care with his diet, which consists mainly of vegetables, beans, white meat, fish, fruit and nuts.
Preferring to eat gluten-free food, the Serb required special deliveries at the hotel where he was arrested during the Covid vaccination controversy at this year’s Australian Open.
He reportedly asked for a personal chef during the debacle.
Nadal could also fight if he relied solely on Wimbledon restaurants.
Seafood is known to make up the majority of the Spanish diet, with steamed fish and prawn balls among their favorite dishes.
Both are a good source of protein for the famous gym player.
Currently, the organizers do not plan to change the limit.
