An Indian man living in UK has shown utmost dedication and patience by spending countless hours on building a replica of Wimbledon’s Centre Court. Wimbledon is one of the four major Tennis Grand Slams and is the oldest tennis tournament in the world.
Shaminder Singh, who lives in Coventry, UK started building the replica of the Centre Court in his living room in Coventry in September 2016.
The 31-year-old is a fork lift driver by profession and usually works night shifts. After finishing his work early morning, he would get a few hours’ sleep and then get up and start working on the replica.

"After finishing work in the morning at 06:00 I just have a couple of hours sleep and then I get back on to this."
According to Shaminder, he spent around 40 hours per week on this handmade model.
The replica is made entirely out of toothpicks bought from the local supermarket.

"It's been hard work. Small work and it's taken a lot of time to make it,"
