Multiple reports say some Wimbledon competitors, including Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff, have been sending runners to the tournament’s basement media canteen for food, rather than using the players’ restaurant. According to the accounts, staff move regularly between the players’ areas and the media dining space to collect freshly prepared pasta that is being served for media personnel.
The reporting describes the trend as unusual, framing it as a food-running arrangement in which players’ representatives seek specific items from the media area. The sources do not provide independent details on why the food is chosen, such as taste, availability, or scheduling, and they focus primarily on the observation that players are accessing food prepared for the press.
The statements attributed to the outlets are presented as claims about who is involved and what is being collected, without confirming whether the practice is widespread across all players or confined to particular individuals or times.
