Barbora Krejcikova is already heading home from Wimbledon with a replica of the iconic Venus Rosewater Dish trophy after having won her second Grand Slam singles title last weekend. But the Czech is asking for fan support to help her get another keepsake for her trophy shelf.
One of the revelatory moments of Krejcikova’s unexpected run to the title, which doubled her match wins for a 2024 season that was previously marred by injuries and illness, was how she spent her time during the myriad of rain delays during this year’s English summer, which including building LEGO. In a Q&A with fans on social media ahead of her quarterfinal match against Jelena Ostapenko, Krejcikova alluded to being another WTA star who enjoys constructing the models, later telling reporters she’s recently completed a Milky Way construction and the Harry Potter character Dobby.
But one suggestion from a reporter, a possible Centre Court LEGO build, particularly piqued her interest.
“Is there one?” she replied, before adding: “If there’s one for me, I’ll do it.”

Someone clearly heard her. On Wednesday, Krejcikova shared the idea concept for a Centre Court model from the company’s idea lab (which was first posted to the site last summer). It features more than 2,800 bricks, and many intricate details including the court’s retractable roof. According to Krejcikova, the fan-designed project will be commissioned if it receives 10,000 votes.
“I would really, really love to build this,” she wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Will you help me by voting for it?”
