Well, didn't this produce a lot of speculation. The location was argued
about, though eventually most people seemed to agree that it was
Wimbledon. Then there were all the arguments for a composite, is there
or isn't there a canopy, is the vending machine real, are the people
real.

Rather than argue from memory or experience of photo manipulation, I
went to Wimbledon and took this really horrible photo with my phone:

(and there's also an even worse magnification:

)

I was one platform further back than the original photographer, and
there's a new billboard preventing an identical shot. But you can see
how it all fits in - the original has the outside of the platform two
canopy facing, the inside of the platform 1 canopy facing, the pillar is
just excluded, and there is no reason to think the people weren't really
there.
