The Vuvuzela craze is all set to hit Wimbledon over the next fortnight – and special Vuvuzelas have been made which emit a loud “Come on Timmy!” in homage to Wimbledon favourite Tim Henman. Hundreds of eager tennis fans have already picked up the Wimbledon Vuvuzelas, including Maureen Mittleklaas from Henley-on-Thames, who said:

“It’s such a shame that Timmy is no longer playing tennis, but now I’ve got my Wimbledon Vuvuzela, I can continue to support him even though he’s not there. I don’t like that Andy Murray. He’s got a dirty mouth on him. Timmy was much nicer – a polite young boy, if you will. I’ll be blowing my Vuvuzela all throughout Wimbledon fortnight, and I hope it really does add to the atmosphere.”

Umpires have already expressed worry over the amount of noise that the Wimbledon Vuvuzelas will make. Pedro Morereireira, who will umpire Andy Murray’s first-round match, said that “one is bad enough – but can you imagine hundreds of them at once? It’ll sound like a very angry Women’s Institute meeting. I will immediately put a halt to any match that is badly affected by these silly instruments!”

Websites have popped up offering to “pimp up” the Wimbledon Vuvuzelas, with one in particular claiming that it can modify your Wimbledon Vuvuzela to tell Andy Murray to “piss off”, and another that tells female tennis players to “stop grunting and get their kit off”, which has already been banned. Wimbledon officials have said that any “pimped” Wimbledon Vuvuzelas will be confiscated, and only authentic “Come on Timmy” ones will be allowed onto the court.
