Game, sex, match: Wimbledon spectators have been having sex in club's PRAYER ROOMS!
Wimbledon spectators have reportedly been sneaking into the new prayer rooms at the All England Club to hook up. As per reports, disheveled couples are spotted leaving the sacred space looking flustered while a series of oohs and aahs follow them.
One visitor told The New York Post that he spotted a couple leaving one of the rooms with "big grins" on their faces as they headed back to watch some tennis. "She was in a long flowing summer dress and there was no doubt as to what they'd been up to," he said. Another individual claimed they overheard "sounds of intimacy" coming from the quiet room adjoining theirs.

A spokesperson for the All England Club told The New York Post, "Our quiet room is an important part of our efforts to ensure that Wimbledon is for everyone. This inclusive space is used for a variety of reasons including to support those with additional needs and to support any religious requirements or quiet reflection."
The Wimbledon brochure states, "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." An SW19 staff member said, "I think it's supposed to be for people wanting a five-minute break. I think it's a good thing, I've seen elderly people going in there to take a break from the sun, people going in to pray, and mothers who want to breastfeed in private," reports My London.
"But who knows if people are using it for the – not the mile high club – but the Wimbledon high club. I'm not sure how you would police it and make sure it’s used for the reasons it’s intended," the member added. Each prayer room is equipped with two armchairs, a foldaway table, and phone-charging facilities. Signs on the doors can be adjusted to read engaged, but there are no locks, and some occupants have been interrupted, as per The New York Post.

Local residents have put up a sign in Wimbledon Park that says "Game Sex and Match. NO THANKS!" to stop intimate encounters in the area. "Visiting tennis fans please respect our park and woodland. Anti-social behavior such as drugs, booze, and sex parties will not be tolerated. Police patrol this area regularly and you have been warned," the sign reads.
"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," a local told The Daily Star.
