Day 40 Wimbledon and Centre court

Breakfast and we went to the station to meet Jan via coffee and a pastry of course!!
Caught an uber to Wimbledon and got dropped off on Marrayat Rd. Interesting driving through Wimbledon village and seeing the decorations, the number of people in the cafes as well as walking to Wimbledon. Lots of flowers in the Wimbledon colours, both up lamp posts and in planter boxes.
Picked up our tickets with great excitement. Thrilled to have 'real' tickets not digital. 10am and we went in through the members gate so no queuing!!
Straight to court 12 to watch Alex deMinaur play James Duckworth. Great seats behind the umpire. Moorby's were watching from Boorowa as the rain delays came and went. Started at 11am and didn't finish until after 4pm. Lots of fun watching this match with photos from home coming in showing the yellow tshirts or when we talked!!
We were starving by this time and we had 2 tickets to centre court to share around. Pizzas were enjoyed by all.
Peter and I went into Centre court and watched the end of the Novak Djokovic v Alex Vukic. We were in the members area with great seats but did feel very undressed!! Chris and Janet next to watch Jack Draper then Jan had her turn sitting and watching on centre court. In between all of this we all had strawberries and cream. Jan and Janet were interviewed by the BBC about the experience! Peter and I tried a Pimms 'cos you do!' Chris took up residence on an outside court and watched Olivia Gadecki, and Australian girl struggle in her 1st round match.
Rinky Hijakata came onto court about 740pm so we stayed to cheer him on.
Jan came home with us for a sleepover!!Read more
