Wimbledon!

It is Wimbledon time in London and we weren't going to miss it for the world! We heard that people can queue outside the Wimbledon park the day of and get tickets to see all matches except the Centre court, Court #1 matches so we went. We woke up at 5:30 am and went and stook in a 4 hour loooong line. Here is a picture of me looking sad with the other 8000 odd people who were waiting to get in. We thought we might not get in! We were the 4470th and 4472nd person. (Nikhil was in the 7000s and he still got in!!)



But we finally did get in!! There were some good matches that day and first we chose to see Ladies' Singles - 3rd Round between 5th seed E. Dementieva and G. Dulko in Court #2. It was a good match! Here are both of us looking mighty pleased.



Check out the Wimbledon slideshow to see some great tennis shots!

We then found the BEST location to enjoy Wimbledon - the last row of Court #3! See me there. From there we could see matches in court #3, court#2 over the wall and some other courts in the distance so we managed to watch Aarenka and Petrova on 1 side, Tipsarevic and Tursunov on 1 side and Sania Mirza's doubles match in the distance. :)


Ahhhh Wimbledon!
Can you see who that is? Yes it is Nadal!!!! We got to see him in Centre Court at Wimbledon!! How you may ask? They resell Center Court tickets for 5 pounds and we got it!! YEAHHH what an end to a tremendous day!
