Where there is a quiet room, there is a way. At Wimbledon at least.

Wimbledon is widely regarded as the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, but one room on the court is being completely disrespected by riled-up couples and the tournament bosses have had enough.

A Wimbledon quiet room meant for prayer and meditation should not be used by couples wanting to be intimate, they have warned, per The Telegraph.

Last year, to the horror of some visitors, amorous couples were spotted doing the deed in the secluded space near Court 12. Some spectators reported seeing “sheepish” looking couples emerging from the rooms, with one eye witness recalling how he saw a man and woman leaving the room with “big grins” on their faces.

“She was in a long flowing summer dress and there was no doubt as to what they had been up to,” he said.

Another visitor reported hearing “sounds of intimacy” coming from one of the two rooms created as “safe spaces”. The sheer audacity, I tell you.

Now Sally Bolton, chief executive of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, feels the need to remind everyone that the “sanctuary” is an important space, which people need to respect.

Speaking on the first day of the tournament, she said: “It’s a really important space. So, we will be retaining it and we’ll be making sure that people are using it the right way.

“If people need space to go to pray, it’s the quiet space for that. There is an opportunity to breastfeed in there. But, we are looking for it to be used in the right way.”

Indeed, the areas are intended as spaces of seclusion for prayer, meditation, breastfeeding or even as a way to escape the sun. Wimbledon’s official access guide for 2023 says: “Located in the Southern Village, this sanctuary offers guests a peaceful space to pray, meditate or just be present at the moment.”

But the misuse by overly affectionate couples has garnered the space an unfortunate nickname. One official describes it as the “Wimbledon high club”, as opposed to the “mile high club” associated with those who become intimate on aeroplanes.

Keep the grunting on the court, you horney bastards.
