I have just got home fromWimbledon and am still buzzing. I was there for the semi-final matches of Djokovic vs Del Potro and Murray vs Janowicz. My seat was near the back so I didn't get great photos but I could see quite well and the atmosphere was incredible. I can't believe I've actually managed to see Murray play twice this season. If any of you are tennis fans and saw these matches on TV you will understand when I say they were two fantastics games with unbelievable tension and nail biting endings.

After the 3rd set they decided to close the roof as it was getting dark so we had a bit of a wait before they restarted the match and Murray took the 4th set. By then I had been watching tennis for nearly 9 hours. I was exhausted but elated.

Wow That must have been exciting. I love playing tennis but I must admit I don't watch it often. I don't watch TV often.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting .... I watched it on tv but to actually be there soaking up the atmosphere must have been amazing.

ReplyDeleteWhat a day to pick - good choice! The first match in particular was an epic.
ReplyDeleteI think you saw the two best matches. I watched it partly on television, it was great.
