Lisa runs her own cleaning business, Fairy Godmother Domestic Services, and has fulfilled one of her cleaning dreams of polishing the Rolex clock on Centre Court at Wimbledon this year.

“The cleaning teams here at the Championships are wonderful,” Lisa said.

"The attention to detail is a must and everyone is so friendly and works together really well."I'm having a wonderful experience and meeting new people from all walks of life; the whole team from cleaners, drivers, gardeners, producers, security guards deliver an excellent level of work and dedication that makes Wimbledon so special.

“My dream was to clean the Rolex clock on Centre Court and I was lucky enough to be able to do this.”

"I am a big Djokovic fan, but I am also loving [Jannik] Sinner's progression and presence,” she said.

Unfortunately, British hopes in the singles tournament died when Katie Boulter, the final remaining competitor, was overwhelmed on Saturday by the formidable number three seed Elena Rybakina, 6-1 6-1.
