Barbora Krejcikova Seeks Fan Support for Wimbledon LEGO Replica

Barbora Krejcikova, the newly crowned Wimbledon champion, has a unique request for her fans: help her acquire a LEGO replica of Centre Court. The Czech star, who has emerged as a LEGO enthusiast during this year's rain-interrupted Wimbledon, has expressed her desire to build the intricate model, which features over 2,800 bricks and intricate details like the retractable roof.

Krejcikova's passion for LEGO was revealed during a Q&A with fans ahead of her quarterfinal match, where she mentioned completing a Milky Way and Harry Potter's Dobby models. When a reporter suggested a Centre Court build, she enthusiastically responded, "If there's one for me, I'll do it."

Her request has been met with a positive response. The LEGO idea lab has shared a concept for a Centre Court model, which will be commissioned if it receives 10,000 votes. Krejcikova has urged her fans to support the project, citing her eagerness to build it.

Krejcikova's LEGO obsession is not an isolated case. Iga Swiatek, the world No. 1 and another LEGO enthusiast, has received two custom tennis models from the company. After winning her third consecutive Roland Garros title, Swiatek was gifted a replica of Court Philippe-Chatrier, complete with an "Iga's Bakery" and miniature versions of her team and cat. LEGO also produced a replica of her Technifibre racquet.

Swiatek has been a brand ambassador for LEGO in Poland since January and has showcased her new toys during her clay-court return to practice. She will enter the Olympics as the gold medal favorite, carrying a 21-match winning streak on clay.

Krejcikova's request for a Centre Court LEGO model highlights the growing popularity of the building blocks among tennis stars. It also demonstrates the company's willingness to cater to the unique interests of its fans, creating custom models that celebrate their achievements and passions.
