Safin was ****ing immense yesterday! Although Novak was all over the shop!
The fed was just pure class!
Also had watched abit of Gonzalez on the outside courts.

Met Venus Williams when she was on the way to the practice courts and Jamie Murray (who was sweaty as **** ) Also watched Hewitt practise and Sharapova and some other randomers i didn't reconise.

Also met the Greg He was doing some interview, reviewing the matches or summit, although he was reading from a script

You are Justin Lee Collins and I claim my 20p prize.

Milky did you have tickets or did you camp out in the queue?

Pictures of Sharapova?

Nah, wasn't close enough to get a decent pic. Hewitt was practising when we got into the grounds about 11ish and tryed taking pics but they were **** so didn't bother.

Got some decent pics of fed and greg though

Camped out mate!
Got into wimbledon park at about 8pm the night before and we were 377-379 in the queue so if your thinking about it then you wanna get there before 8pm really.

Stewards woke us up at half 5!! and we queued from half 6 till about 10 to get into the stadium!
Although they were giving out free stawberries!!!

Nice one. I've always wanted to go and I am half tempted to camp out next year. Now I know it can be done easily enough. Cheers Milky.

Nadal about to win. Murray going very well too.

Have you ever entered the ballot? Saves you having to queue up if you are lucky enough to get picked. Been a couple of times via that route.

No not tried that. How do you go about it?

Not sure exactly - my ex handled it! I think you ring up around January time (you may be able to do it on t'internet nowadays) and enter it somehow. We managed to get court 2 tickets one year, but you can get 1 and centre if you're lucky.

Ta matey. I'll take a look at that.

Camping out is the best way to get centre court tickets as if your in the first 500 your are garanteed one.

The ballot is just luck if you get a ticket nevermind a centre court ticket but you need to join the LTA to enter the draw (I think).

Rafa's through, good stuff! Good good game!

Well yeah, but you'd know before hand whether you need to bother camping or not.
