Visit to Wimbledon

We managed to get a spot of tennis in after work on a beautiful sunny afternoon. It was great to get a chance to visit Wimbledon, especially with no queue! We breezed in with no worries and paid our £12 for entry to the grounds.

As it was the second week, there weren't too many matches still on when we got there, other than some juniors, veterans, and some doubles on the show courts. We wandered around soaking up the atmosphere and eventually spotted Pat Cash on Court 3.

He was playing with local 'favourite' Chris Wilkinson against Richard Krajicek and Jacob Eltingh. Krajicek isn't that long retired and is a former singles champion here, and still has the boom-boom serve. Still though, despite it being 20 odd years since Cash won, he was comfortably the classiest player on show. It wasn't enough however and despite Pat's attempts to convince Krajicek to let them take it to a deciding set, a humourless Krajicek served out to win. And that was that!

It was still great to sample the atmosphere, and see Henman Hill, and all that jazz. We resolved to definitely make the effort to get there next year in the first week, even if it involves the overnight queueing!

Here are a few photos from the evening...
