Day 41 Wimbledon and court 1

Overcast, so packed better today with more warm clothes and raincoats. Breakfast and coffee down the road after dropping Jan at South Wimbledon station.
Uber to Wimbledon and in through the Members entrance as today we had 2 tickets for Court 1 and our ground passes courtesy of Fred Stolle...very exciting and so lucky.
Court 8 was the plan as Jordan Thompson was due to play at 11am. We got great seats behind the umpire before it got busy. Then it started drizzling so the covers went on all courts and our umbrellas went up...no play until 1145...and on and off came the covers. At one point they blew hot air under all the covers to keep away the moisture. During this time friends from home were watching and sending photos of us, umbrellas up, eating, talking and later cheering. Our yellow tshirts were all over the TV at home apparently. Even Janet's granddaughter sent us a video!! Thompson lost in 3 sets.
Peter and Chris went to Court 1 during this match as Carlos Alcaraz was playing Alexei Vukic, an Aussie. He played well but Alcaraz was just too good. Next up was Emma Radacanu from Britain. Peter and Janet swapped places but this match was also lopsided and Radacanu won easily.
Lots of purchases in the Wimbledon shop today...caps, hats, tshirts, towels and keyring!!Read more
