I'm not sure if it was on purpose but Ted set the alarm for an hour earlier than when we'd planned, his iPad clock isn't on England's time zone - but it meant we were up and out the door early. The weather is better and there was already a thousand people more there than the day before. We still got in and met some fun people in the queue while we all waited together, great place to sit and observe. One thing we've noticed is how much champagne and prosecco people drink here in the tennis world, it's kinda crazy! Every line-up and also in the stands you see people popping their bottles, but you're allowed to bring it in with you so that probably encourages it.
As well as Serena and Venus Williams playing doubles. The court we sat at gave us a great view of some of the other courts nearby, pretty nice.
A little later we were sitting over at 'Murray's Mound' watching on the big screen, it was Eugenie Bouchard against Johanna Konta from the UK. There was an announcement on the screen advising centre court tickets available so Ted hurried over and was able to get us some. People who leave the match early sometimes turn their tickets back in as they leave, which then are resold for $20 CDN and that money goes to charitable causes. It's a great deal for people like us who otherwise wouldn't get in.
Fabulous seats, although the people in front of us didn't like us cheering for Eugenie, kinda funny.

Our Canadian played exceptionally well.
It's been such a great experience being here, probably once in a lifetime and we've loved it!
Glad to hear you got to center court. Good for you guys for being so patient and persistent!
