For those who are not watching Kylie, there's a documentary on BBC2 at 8pm. 125 years of Wimbledon, should be worth looking at. It will be good to see the likes of McEnroe, Bjorg, Lendl, Agassi etc. I can remember being so excited when Agassi was playing his first Wimbledon and everyone was on tenterhooks to see what he would wear. :cool:
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

Hey I was at the world cup and the vuvuzela's made it an African world cup. It was a totally different atmosphere live st the game - the funny thing is all the foreigners were blowing the vuvuzela's.

My sister managed to get into Centre Court today! In a few hours she'll be watching Murray play.
Go ahead, make my day - by visiting my blog: http://jacobthehobnob.wordpress.com/

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2012" club. I saw 32, which is rather delightful.. I beat Mr. Glass on free films but he narrowly inched me out on total films seen.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.

grrrr.
My god-mother's friend's parter designed the roof so gets a heap of free tickets and I might get one this year. the thing is i only want to see nadal or federa, serena or venus. i couldn't be much fussier could i?!

i got to see serena and venus having a practice a few years back as they use the gym courts at david lloyd in raynes park and i was nipping in to the gym to get my hair cut before my flight on holiday. it was all very exciting! that's as close as i've ever been to seeing anyone play though!

No Murray mania on here then?

He just won his second round match in straight sets.
