London, Jun 29: Not only is the food at Wimbledon overpriced but it is not even that tasty, Marat Safin said on Thursday.
Having complained earlier in the week about the $25 (12.50 pound) cost of a plate of pasta, the disgruntled Russian went a step further by saying the dishes were not a patch on similarly priced ones at top restaurants.
"It's definitely not the Cipriani of New York," he told a news conference. "Also in Moscow, one of the most expensive (cities), we have better pasta for 20 bucks that's for sure."
"Each day is the same thing -- chicken, pasta. They could have done better for the prices." Players get a daily food allowance of 23.49 pounds at the London Grand Slam.
