11-year-old Indian girl to perform coin toss in Wimbledon final

Pinki Sonkar will be performing the coin toss at men’s singles final at Wimbledon this year on July 7. The 11-year-old girl will perform the coin toss on behalf of the cleft lip charity Smile Train.

Smile Train gave Pinki the opportunity to have her cleft lip operation done for free in 2007.

Pinki is from India and she is going to meet the players and she will be assisted in her on-court duties by Wimbledon referee Andrew Jarrett.

Doctor Subodh Kumar Singh, who performed Pinki’s cleft surgery, said: “Pinki is a young girl who exemplifies strength, courage, and dignity every day of her life and I am so honoured to accompany her as she travels to Wimbledon.”

Smile Train is launching an outdoor advertising and social media campaign to celebrate Pinki’s visit.

All the fans can show their support and join the celebration by sharing Smile Train’s special campaign infographic using £SmileyGraph and any share or retweet will mean a £10 donation to Smile Train.
