Wimbledon Day 2

Courtesy of Nimish and his USTA connections, we had centre court tickets for Saturday. No need to wait in line overnight! The first match we saw was Wozniacki versus Jankovic.


The second match we saw was Hewitt versus Murray, the Scot.

I found the mechanics and system of the ball boys and ball girls to be interesting. They have a well established system in place to make sure the players always have a ball ready. It is interesting to follow the flow of balls around the court. I think there could be a photo montage just for the ball boys and girls. Maybe next time.
We also saw some junior matches on the outer courts.
And today we had the Wimbledon tradition of strawberries & cream . . .
and Pimms! Since its beginnings in the middle of the 19th century, Pimms has remained a British hot-weather favorite. With flavors that recall gin and a color like that of iced tea, Pimms is a natural thirst-quencher. And at only 50 proof, it's a bit safer to quaff courtside, where decorum counts. Mine also had cucumber mixed in.

They had some reflex machines set up to test one's reflexes.

Last match was Nadal versus Kiefer.
