Wimbledon 2014

We had ticked for the Ladies Final on Centre Court this year.

Bit of a problem getting there as we set out and got to Wheatley when Tash realised she’d left the tickets at home, the traffic was a nightmare and it took us an hour to get home! So we had a tense time getting to Wimbledon and after parking we got to our seats 10 minutes before the final was due to start – a stress we could have done without!

The final was a let down, no idea who the women were but it was so one-sided, she completely outgunned her.

The Ladies doubles final was the same, I was getting frustrated with it because it’s not good quality when it’s like that. We had a wander around Wimbledon, there was a lot of rain which didn’t affect us because of the roof being over but it eased up and people there for other matches got to see some tennis as well

Went back for the Men’s Doubles Final and within 3 games we saw better quality in the rallies and matches than we saw in either of the women’s games. It was so close and we reluctantly left at four sets because we’d have been home so late otherwise. Found out the Bryan brothers had been beaten on the way home – bit of a shock

Really nice day in the end, glad we went.
