Is that a pineapple? They copied men's Wimby trophy.

I've always wondered if players bring home the actual trophies they raise or just miniature replicas. Perhaps it depends on the tourney. I think in Wimbledon they don't bring the actual trophies home. But if so, I wonder, have the Wimby trophies been the same pieces for so many years?

They have small replicas of the trophy. They actual trophy never leaves the grounds, at least not without an armed escort...

I'd be curious to know which tournaments keep and which give the original trophies away.

I think the Rome tournament gives them away. I've seen a huge cardboard box with Nadal's address on it at the end of the men's tournament.
