The freshly mown grass, the strict adherence to the all-white dress code, the strawberries and cream...Wimbledon is all about tradition. The oldest tennis tournament in the world has its many quirks which have come to be loved by players and spectators alike.
In 2016, the Bryan Brothers - the identical twin pair of Robert and Michael Bryan – were given a pretty special view of all this. The most successful doubles pair of all time, the brothers have won three Wimbledon titles, the last of them coming in 2013.
As they returned yet again, Wimbledon fitted them with the special GoPro cameras to create a beautiful visual pastiche. So that we can see what they see.
Watch the view as the two brothers walk through the corridors of the grand venue, look at the honour board containing the greatest of them all, and get in some practice on the side lines.
It's an insider's perspective on tennis's grandest tournament. At the end, one of the brothers stares at the big trophy and asks for the keys to Centre Court. As the two walk out to the world's most vaunted tennis court, they're suitably overwhelmed. The voiceover behind them adds:
"We'd love to play Wimbledon from now until we're 70 years old. But truthfully, this could be our last Wimbledon, And we'll try as much we can to hold the trophy up at the end of two weeks."
