Once again for the third year running we were unsuccessful in the Wimbledon ballot, so we headed down at the crack of dawn to to join many, all queing to get into see the live tennis action at the lawn tennis championship. Being the second week, we were well and truly into the business end of the tournament and our visit was for the womens 1/4 finals. We were stoked to secure court one tickets. When we arrived it absolutely poured down and an hour later it was 30 degrees and we were struggling to deal with the heat!
The draw....
It was not Venus' day as she was out played by Pironkova, much to the crowds delight who were definately backing the under dog. The other womens quarterfinal we watched was against 2 relatively unknowns, neither of whom could stop Serena Williams from winning the Wimbeldon title.The video shows our ridiculously good seats on court one- 5 rows back right in the centre!
The womens quarters were followed by the mens doubles - above is Tommy Robredo.

HSBC were offering free strawberries and cream for those that have an HSBC debit card- brilliantly we have 6, so may have slightly taken advantage there. An awesome day at the tennis, here's hoping were 4th year lucky in the ballot!
