WIMBLEDON — I’m standing outside Court 12 when a couple approach me. They’ve spotted the lanyard and want some assistance.
It isn’t the first and won’t be the last time I’ve been mistaken for a Wimbledon staff member, but having covered these championships since 2018 I am fortunate to know the lay of the land by now.
They are curious about how to actually get a seat on Court 12, and they don’t like my answer.
“So you’re saying after the queue, there’s another queue?” Vojtech Cepek, who is here with partner Katerina on her birthday, says with a look of resignation. “It’s crazy.”
