Exclusive Evian water bottles that were “used by Wimbledon players” are being sold on eBay for as much as £302.

The large flip-top bottles, seen on court throughout the tournament, have become almost as memorable as the championships’ brightly coloured towels.

Unlike some of the other plastic and metal varieties, the official bottles are not purchased and are distributed directly to players, ballboys and girls, officials on court and accredited members of the press.

Each player is handed three extra bottles for members of their support team.

However, The Telegraph has found some of the bottles have been sold on auction site eBay for as much as £302.

Another seller paired a bottle with one of the championship towels before successfully selling the lot for £175.19.

Some buyers appeared to sell bottles that they claimed had been used by specific players – including one allegedly used by Jack Draper, British men’s number one.
