Again blessed to have won the opportunity to purchase some Wimbledon tickets via the tennis league ballot.
I’m back in Court 2 for the day with my friend, Verity.
We had seats a little higher but still perfectly centre to watch some awesome tennis matches.
The lineup of matches on Court 2 were:
1. Shuko Aoyama (JPN) / Renata Voracova (CZE) v
Sara Errani (ITA) [2] / Roberta Vinci (ITA) [2]
2. Bob Bryan (USA) [1] / Mike Bryan (USA) [1] v
Julian Knowle (AUT) [9] / Marcelo Melo (BRA) [9]
3. Martin Klizan (SVK) / Belinda Bencic (SUI) v
Bruno Soares (BRA) [13] / Martina Hingis (SUI) [13]
4. Aisam Qureshi (PAK) [16] / Vera Dushevina (RUS) [16] v
Bob Bryan (USA) [2] / Kveta Peschke (CZE) [2]
What a treat to see some doubles matches. I love watching doubles as there’s always an element of ‘great mates’ playing a match. OK so obviously they’re also out there to win but somehow a sense of fun is also evident.
Wonderful too to see Martina Hingis who I saw many many years ago and, of course, the Bryan Brothers who took gold in the London Olympics.
Of course there is also a great amount of Abi-stalking. She remains the best ball-girl and I was so very proud to be able to see her being so brilliantly professional again.
