Localtechie Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 Going tomorrow very excited! Court 3 but some good matches on there! Hoping to go Saturday on centre court as well depending on if I get tickets. Love Wimbledon fortnight.
elsiegee40 Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 Yay! Wimbledon! Anyone who knows me will know I am something of a tennis nut. I have been to Roland Garros, where we were very pleased to see Alfie Hewett win his wheelchair singles final, Queens and Eastbourne this year... and we got tickets in the ballot for Wimbledon next week! I'd love to think Murray will be successful, but my money is on Federer winning over Nadal in the final.

I'm going to the US Open this year so really excited about that! Unfortunately no queen's or Eastbourne this year just simply didn't have the money in the end.

chris1986 Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 I use to film Wimbledon for 7 years. I was on centre court for when Murrey won, the atmosphere in there is crazy!!! 2

Localtechie Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Good day yesterday! Shame about Kyrgios but may have had a bet on him to lose before the start and won my ticket money back so happy about that! Also it is much harder to get ticket on ticketmaster now! Want to go Saturday but doesn't look like it is going to happen at this rate! 1

elsiegee40 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 [ATTACH=CONFIG]44283[/ATTACH] Good day yesterday! Shame about Kyrgios but may have had a bet on him to lose before the start and won my ticket money back so happy about that! Good day with 4 Brits through. I am not sure how Bedene beat Karlov. It was looking like that match was heading for an Isner-Mahut size score. Karlov just doesn't bother to move round the court unlike Isner who at least tries even if he finds it hard Also it is much harder to get ticket on ticketmaster now! Want to go Saturday but doesn't look like it is going to happen at this rate! They went on sale 2 minutes early on Sunday, catching Mr Gee40 out. You have to be online and ready to pounce at the second they're released.

elsiegee40 Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Men's number 16 seed, Gilles Müller, puts out 4th seed Rafael Nadal. What a match! Incredible match. Nadal was refusing to lose. Neither played badly. Muller was very slightly stronger and deserved the win.

6Foot2 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Posted July 15, 2017 Link: Wimbledon fan invited on court to put on skirt and face Kim Clijsters' serve after shouting advice [The Telegraph] It must rank as one of the most endearing moments of this year’s Wimbledon - when a four time Grand Slam winner invited a spectator to join in her match. Kim Clijsters beckoned a fan onto the court during her invitation doubles match on Friday, after he shouted out his suggestion for where she could serve. But instead of upbraiding him for his cheek, Clijsters - a three times US Open winner and twice Wimbledon semi finalist - invited him to face her serve by taking the place of her opponent at the other end of Court Three... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5VN_TmMeNg 1

Localtechie Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Had a rather excellent day yesterday thanks to Ticketmaster! Shame it wasn't much more of a fight but to see Federer win his 8th and record breaking grand slam is something I will never forget.
