• Day 44 Wimbledon

    July 6, 2024 in England ⋅ 🌙 14 °C

    Woke to find it had rained all night. With umbrellas, ponchos, puffer jackets and some food packed, we headed to Wimbledon. Fred Stolle gave us 6 ground passes so we had 4 unexpected tickets.
    Ct 3 for Alex deMinaur only to hear that he had won due to a walkover!! And then the rain came...we sat and we sat and it rained...finally play started with another mens 3rd round match...20mins and it rained again...1 set all...4pm so we left and went to ct 8 to watch Matt Ebden and Rohan Bopanna play doubles. Great to watch as this court is up close and personal. 5pm and it rained and hailed for 15mins!!! Then the sun came out for the rest of the evening. Sadly Matt and Rohan lost in 2 sets.
    Coffee called and a chance to stand in the sun to warm up and dry off. 3 of us had the signature cappuccino watching junior girls. With the sun still out we went to the South Village to watch Novak and Alexei Popyrin play on the big screen. Pizza and gin and tonics helped us to cheer on Alexei.
    Home to warm up and see Alexei lose in 4 hard fought sets.
