Assume an open train tkt back to Manc is sensoble given it could finish at a variable time? No matter what time your court finishes, there'll be play on another court somewhere, if Centre are still playing, sit yourself down on Henman Hill to watch it on the big screen. Play starts on the outside courts a couple of hours earlier than centre & 1 but your ticket gives you a ground pass so you can watch any games on those (except court 2 unless they've changed it). Time your toilet breaks as it can take a while to get back to your seat once play has started. Keep any bags you take small, you can take in 1 bottle of wine but that's it. Food & drink is expensive on site (we usually take a few M&S salads & sandwiches etc. in with us). Court 1 is currently being made fit to have a roof, so they've taken off the spectator roof & it is now mostly open to the sky with no shade, so don't forget sunscreen & a hat.

Exiled Girl Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Superb advice. Many thanks! No problem. Btw, going back to Euston from Wimbledon, it's far quicker to do rail to Waterloo then Northern line to Euston than faff around on the District line.

Exiled Girl Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 that girl needs a career change sad really She's apparently a whizz at Japanese railway connections. She's slowly moving up the rankings again but giving her a wildcard into Wimbledon is doing her game no favours, she'd be better off doing 3 qualifying matches to get into a groove.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 4, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2017 Just been given tkts for Court 1 on 10th July So excited I have a major hard on. If Nadal plays on it that day it'll explode Why the love in with Nadal? A great player but I can't be doing with him. A time wasting, ass picking grump. I always remember that interview a few years back when he slid down his seat by direct debit. Reminded me of one of his countrymen in the penalty box.

frank_spencer Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Is he polite in lifts?I've heard that Roger Federer often does really stinky farts in the lift and refuses to take the blame even if there's only the 2 of you in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalcolmW Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 anyone know who's side of the draw Warwinka was in? He was in Murray's quarter, so Tsonga is the highest seed left to face Murray in a QF. Nadal has Cilic, Federer Raonic , and Djokovic Thiem, although obviously there will probably be some upsets before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrelli Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Loved him for years He's humble and he's a warrior - an incredible athlete who is passionate and loves competition What's not to like And me, superb competitor but humble with it. One year when he beat Murray in a Wimbledon semi he was almost apologetic at the end as he knew what it meant to AM. Also part of the greatest final ever beating Federer.

Must just be me then- undoubtedly a top athlete, no argument there, but I just can't take to him. On another note, does anyone else get annoyed when players receive umpteen balls, fiddle with them and then hit a load to the ball kids. Been discussions before about issues with slow play- could stop by either only allowing a couple of balls or ensuring that all balls received must be carried.

Since somebody pointed out all his ticks, I've not been able to watch him. His stepping over lines, always right foot first is the one I find particularly irritating............
