An 11-year-old girl from India was the first Indian girl to toss the coin at the start of a Wimbledon final.
Why? Because she's special!
Pinki Sonkar was born with a cleft lip and palate in one of the poorest parts of India and needed surgery to fix it.
She was the centre of attention on Centre Court when she threw the coin to decide which player would serve first.
She was chosen to represent the charity Smile Train which gave her her smile back.

She must be very, very happy. The surgery turned a sad girl with a low self esteem into a beautiful little girl with a happy smile. Her life will certainly not be the same as now she can do everything without restrictions and the future wiil be much promising, for sure!
Pinki had a unilateral complete cleft lip.
Smile Pinki is a 39-minute documentary directed by Megan Mylan. The film shows the story of a poor girl in rural India whose life is transformed when she receives free surgery to correct her cleft lip. The documentary was made in Hindi and Bhojpuri, and won the 81st Academy Award for Best Documentary (Short Subject).
