The winners of Wimbledon do not get to keep the trophies they are presented with but instead get to take home miniature replicas.

The Men's Singles Champion is presented with the Gentlemen's Singles Trophy a silver gilt cup with a cover. This is the exact same trophy presented to the first ever winner of this particular tennis tournament back in 1887.

The Women's Singles Champion is presented with a silver salver referred to as the "Rosewater Dish" or "Venus Rosewater Dish". This trophy was made back in 1864 by Messrs Elkington And Company Limited based in Birmingham and cost 50 Guineas (£52.50) to be made.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
