Wimbledon star left homeowner ‘beyond angry’ after leaving fly infestation and turning bathroom green with mould
A former Wimbledon star allegedly left a “fly infestation” and “turned the bathroom green” with mould while staying in a local property during the tournament.
Those who live close to the All England Club can rake in huge sums of money by renting out their properties over the course of the two-week Grand Slam.

A one-bedroom flat can take £1,000 per week, while five-bedroom residences hold a fee of around £10,000.
Joanna Doniger runs a short-term letting agency that specifically deals with renting out private homes for the Wimbledon fortnight.
Her client list includes the likes of Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal, Serena and Venus Williams, and Pete Sampras.
And while she has enjoyed finding those superstar players accommodation, it has not always been smooth sailing.
Recalling an incident with an unnamed individual, she told Reuters: “A player, who is now a coach, once left the house (he was renting) suddenly without informing anyone that he was leaving early.
“The owner went back five days later and saw that there was an infestation of flies as it was a really hot summer and food had been left out to rot.
“She then went into what had been her white bathroom and it had turned green because there was mold growing everywhere.
“The player had left the hot shower running and the steam caused the mold growth. The owner was very, very upset and beyond angry.”

Meanwhile, French Open champion Iga Swiatek is the favourite to triumph in the women’s singles.
Aged 22, she already has four Grand Slams to her name – three at Roland Garros and one at the US Open – but is yet to win at Wimbledon.
