That’s the amazing part, Centre Court tickets via the Queue are only $70. Grounds passes via the Queue are only $33.

It’s an amazing process and allows us “commoners” the ability to sit among the British Society members for a fraction of the cost.

Great to know, thanks.
 

Fritz is dialed in!! Road doesn't get easier but he's playing fantastic:


Go USA!!
 

Great win for Coco...if she can figure out her double fault issue she'd be #1 in the world.
She's now the highest seed left in the draw.


Go Coco!!
 

Absolutely insane win for Novak. At 39 years old...5 hours and 15 minutes. Now he gets 2 days off before his epic semifinal vs Sinner.


Go Tennis!!
 

Two surprising blowout matches in the mens Quarters today. Disappointing to see Fritz get worked, but after 7 straight wins over Sasha, this was bound to happen. And Sasha now gets to face Arthur Fery, a Brit who got a Wild Card into Wimbledon, and is now in the Semis! I love when former college players do well in pros, as Fery played at Stanford. He's the first Stanford tennis player to make the Wimbledon semis since Minnesota legend, David Wheaton.

Go Tennis!!

Wow, there's a name from the past. Can Zverev get back to back. I'm sure winning the French has released some pressure. Sinner doesn't look like pre-Wimbledon Sinner. Think Novak might take him out.

There's a sporting goods store (similar to an REI) a few blocks from Wimbledon. They have everything up at the front of the store for Wimbledon campers and for solid prices. We got a 3 person tent, a mat, two sleeping bags, to mini pillows, two chairs to sit on outside during the day and a soccer ball to kick around for about $150. If you bring the tent back within 24 hours they give you 50% back...we didn't do that as it would have been a hassle. So we took our tent to a donation area where campers who didn't bring a tent can just use it and put it back.

Most everyone was asleep by 10:30pm, and with how light it gets early in England this time of year, most were up by 5am. We brought some food to get us through the day, but hey also had 7 different food trucks set up that were open from 6am - 11pm which was solid food.

The bathrooms were upscale porta potties, each had their own mirror and wash station inside the little porta potty. They were very clean considering the circumstances.

The whole experience is a massive credit to the Brits and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

Go Tennis!!

Ugh, tough loss for Coco Gauff. Up 9-8 in the 3rd set tie break, she had the match on her racket at the net and instead of putting the ball in the corner, she tried for a touch drop shot that got dumped in the net. You gotta put that ball away.

Go USA!!
