Sam Long14 July 2015

Wimbledon fortnight is in full swing and with the All England's Club almost effortless appearance, it's hard to imagine that it takes an army of thousands to deliver the world's greatest tennis tournament.

Courtesy of Hertz, the official travel partner of Wimbledon, these are the stats behind the stunning moments at SW19 this year.

* 230,000 glasses of Pimm’s will be poured and sipped on while others will indulge in the 350,000 cups of tea & coffee consumed during the fortnight

* 28,000 bottles of champagne will be popped open while 142,000 portions of English strawberries will be purchased, drizzled with 7,000 litres of cream

* Hertz will operate over 175 vehicles to undertake 17,000 journeys covering 300,000 miles
