SW19 - the grandest of all grand slams

Tues 26 June 2007.
SW19 - the postcode of Wimbledon. The grandest of all tennis grand slams...and the stuff dreams are made of. Shaheen and I went to Wimbledon on day 2 of the tournament. This is the highlight of my trip so far! There is this buzz in the atmosphere that I cannot explain. We got an after 5pm ground pass for £12. When the ball hits the line, the chalk flies up - it is just magical!


Wimbledon wouldn't be English if you didn't have to queue. In London, you have to queue for everything. They hand out these stickers to cheer up the plebs who have to line up. It even comes with a guide book on how to queue for tickets. There is even a code of conduct on how to queue.
