Nice one! Hope he wins.I’ve been to four or five Wimbledons over the last fifteen years but due to various circumstances I have never seen Nadal play live. Have Centre Court tickets for tomorrow and am over the moon to see he’s second on Centre tomorrow. Quite probably his last ever Wimbledon appearance as well. Get in
Was in Eastbourne last Friday myself. Nice tournament to attend, a million times better value than the massive ripoff that is Queens imo.
Yes, Eastbourne is great - well-organised and you see some top players fairly close up. We're already thinking we'll go next year. And thanks for the recommendation of Surbiton - that's another one to think about.
I bet this was awesome to watch in the crowd - It was pretty exciting watching it on the TV. Shame no 5th set but Nadal looked to move into another gear at the end.I’ve been to four or five Wimbledons over the last fifteen years but due to various circumstances I have never seen Nadal play live.

Yes - he did really well to take Kyrgios to five sets. A promising player.

I believe it was the legendary match between John Isner and Nicholas Mahut in 2010 (which took place over three days and which Isner won 70 - 68
in the final set) that put paid to playing game after game.

As a massive fan and wired to always fear the worst, I didn’t enjoy sets 3 and most of 4 very much! My mate was laughing at my nerves and pessimism. Huge credit to his opponent, he played great and at times better than Nadal. But seeing as it had a happy ending for me, yes fantastic entertainment and much better than a safe but boring straight sets demolition.
Did you get yours through 2020 ballot?
No, bought it online a few weeks ago (well, my mate did) directly from All England Club. For the last decade or so they have been putting additional tickets on sale a few weeks before the tournament begins. You just need to be subscribed to their newsletters, because that's how they announce when a batch of tickets is released. If you go online as soon as possible after the newsletter is sent, you will more likely than not land some tickets.
No, just need to be registered with the All England Club. and whereas more show court tickets for this year are unlikely, they have been known to release them in past tournaments with one day notice for the following day’s play, so I’d say you should absolutely register an account with them. And general grounds admission tickets being made available are even more likely. They certainly have in previous years. I distinctly remember articles in the press about people who’d queued on the day for six hours for a ground ticket complaining about finding out other people had managed to buy tickets online the night before.
That was really fascinating.
Great that Watson is into the fourth round. I think Katie Boulter has a good chance of making the fourth round too, although Harmony Tan, who beat Serena Williams, will not be an easy opponent - saw a bit of the Williams match and Tan was very crafty against a much more powerful opponent.Watson and Juvan both playing some beautifuGreat that l creative tennis just now
that was a bit of an understatement!
