It is possibly the busiest fortnight for the racquet stringers at Wimbledon. The poor fellows are with the players till the end of day’s play. They are further loaded with homework.u00a0

At peak time, there are 12 stringers working, plus there are three to four runners to get the racquets to the courts from Aorangi Park. The stringers are from all over Europe. Most of them run sports shops at home.
