Wimbledon 2012

Grant and I were lucky enough to attend the opening day of Wimbledon 2012!  We started the day off right, with mimosas and Wimbledon’s finest, strawberries & cream, before making the short tube ride over to the grounds.

At Wimbledon, you’re able to gather round many of the practice courts, and spot the players at their best…relaxed and having fun - no pressure.  Not only do you catch them warming up, but they’re constantly walking by you to get to their practice court…this was totally unexpected!  Here are a few of our sightings!

Nadal warming up (he wasn't even playing that day, so we were beyond excited to at least see him in action)

del Potro on his way to a practice court

And the best for last...Fed!!! Grant nearly fainted.

After getting our Pimm’s, we made our way into Centre Court to watch Djokovic & Sharapova…enjoyed lunch out on Henman Hill…and then managed to switch tickets with an incredibly friendly British couple so that we could watch Federer…Grant’s dream come true :)

It was such an amazing experience to be a part of the most respected tennis tournament in the world.  Let’s hope we can make one more appearance next year!
