Tracy Austin first attended Wimbledon in 1977. Back then she was a teenager, taking in all that makes The Championships like no other event in all of tennis. Over the span of nearly half a century, she’s observed and participated in so much of Wimbledon, from time as an active player to many years in the commentary booth, calling the action for the BBC.

Naturally, Tracy values Wimbledon’s highly distinct traditions and rituals. Here, in this edition of Talking Tennis with Tracy, she talks about one of the many she’s greatly enjoyed. (Watch below.)
