Wimbledon stars have been asked to be “judicious” about maxing out their daily food allowance so supplies do not run out.

Competitors are given a £90 a day allowance to spend on food and drink in dedicated restaurants across SW19. Coaches are allocated about half that amount, with the funds available on accreditation tags that can be scanned at checkout.
