Parklife Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Now that Wimbledon is underway, i'm looking forward to it more than any previous ones. Mainly because i'm heading down there tomorrow and have tickets for Court 1. It's my first visit to Wimbledon so any hints on things to see, do, etc would be much appreciated. I'm led to believe you're allowed to take in alcohol, can anyone confirm? Would be good to take in a bottle of wine (non-tonic). On day 2 on Court 1 for the past 3 years, it has been 2 mens + 1 womans match, anyone know if this is always the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMcoolJ Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Great day out. Amazing people (burd) watching potential. Plenty of folk take their own picnics. Many don't have tickets for any of the show courts and just sit around (inc Murray Mount) which seems to include wine etc. I haven't been for 20 years mind you.

vanderark14 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 We went to Wimbledon for the first time today, it's better than the us open and the French open. That's despite being on centre courts for the latter two and only being on court two for Wimbledon. The whole experience at Wimbledon is just mikes better. loved every minute and will be back again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Djockovic on court one at 12. I think he will win but this is something he can do without......a rain delayed I've setter. Play going ahead on Sunday for only the 4th time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggy Jim Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I thought her smile had as much to do with the crowd going mad when they saw the score as the result itself. Didn't see the first 2 sets of Djokovic's match on Friday but watched it yesterday and there was definitely something wrong with him, either illness or injury. There was no snap on his serve or ground strokes. If he'd been playing one of the top 10 he'd have been beaten far more comfortably. As it was Querrey nearly bottled it, his serve got him through.

I think we all know what's up with him, his EPO delivery was delayed and it cost him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Very efficient performance against a typically variable Kyrgios. Inverdale's comment at the end about Kyrgios "lumbering off like something out of the jungle book" was at best crass, if not downright racist.

Angus_Young Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I have. Did he call him a jungle bunny? Inverdale is a twat, no argument there, but not a chance there is anything racist in it imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I see Federer is a set and a break down to Cillic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus_Young Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Just lost second set as well. Standard of first serves from Cilic has been the difference. Some uncharacteristic errors at crucial times from Federer too mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus_Young Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Game before it he saved 3 break points. Some bottle. You could visibly see the effect on Cilic. He must have started thinking about victory for a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus_Young Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Federer takes it in 5 sets. Hard one to take for Cilic. It was there for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Typical Andy. He knew the first half of the footie would be boring so he took it to 5 sets to compensate. Edited July 6, 2016 by Barney Rubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Aye it was a fantastic match. Tennis not fitba obviously. credit to Tsonga, he was brilliant in the 3rd and 4th sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
