(CNN) — Fancy having Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal in your bed? Or perhaps you’d prefer Serena Williams or Maria Sharapova on your couch?
Well, that could become a reality if you own a home around Wimbledon.
The world’s top tennis stars and thousands of fans are heading to southwest London and, with no hotels close enough to the tournament venue, it’s a rush to secure the top rentals.
Wimbledon Village — which has an average asking price of over $3 million in the sales market — and nearby Southfields are the more desirable areas for the likes of Roger Federer, who will once again be splashing out on two properties for himself and his entourage.
Jane Weldon, who will be renting her house for a seventh year, has played host to a number of famous faces.
“There was one year when Rafa Nadal was thinking about renting it and I thought that would be really exciting, being able to say that Rafa Nadal has been in my bed,” she told CNN’s Open Court.
“But he rented somewhere else, he didn’t come.”
