Time Gentlemen Please!
After years of promising we would we finally made it to Wimbledon last week. So we picked one of the sunnier looking days and headed off after work.
A mere two hours queueing and we were in. However, the thought of another hour or so queueing to see a show court didn't appeal so we made do with the selection of games on the outer courts.
For our first visit I think this was the better anyway as we got to get a feel for the atmosphere and see a few games. Also on the outer courts you really are within touching distance and you must feel a little detached on the show courts sometimes. Having said that next time we go back we will suffer the further queueing or maybe just fork out the 50 odd quid it costs to get the tickets in the first place. Spare a thought at this point for the people queueing from 4pm for the following days games - no play took place all day for them - oops!!!
We did get to see Gasquet, who went on to the semi's winning his game and also caught some doubles games. Definitely one to go back and try and again another time - just keep an eye on that weahter forecase - the thing Wimbledon can guarantee you is rain!!
