My Wimbledon: Ekaterina Makarova
Last year's quarter-finalist is a big fan of the traditions that make Wimbledon so special.  READ MORE

Wimbledon is special for Ekaterina Makarova.

What I love about Wimbledon: "I love the old traditions, the grass and the white clothes. That's something special."

The most important shot at Wimbledon: "The serve."

My advice for a young girl or boy who dreams of playing at Wimbledon: "Enjoy this game and work really hard."

The number of bowls of strawberries and cream I would expect to eat during the tournament: "Maybe two bowls a day."

Three words I would use to describe the crowds at Wimbledon: "Elegant, knowledgeable, loud."

My Wimbledon highlight: "Last year, when I made the quarter-finals at Wimbledon for the first time. That's a good memory."

I love the old traditions, the grass and the white clothes. That's something special
