Wimbledon: Day 4 - Sun Turns Into Rain |

The day started with Sun and ended with Rain! Rain is part of the Wimbledon tradition and every year it will have a day where rain interferes with the order of play! Matches were cancelled and postponed till tomorrow and with 70% change of rain expected the schedule has been favorable for some of our adidas players! We have 4 out of 3 matches players wearing adidas!

Today was again a day of warmups and practices but also a bit of fun with the Wimbledon social media making the head lines around the Globe so I got my picture taken by Kiki Mladanovic with the 3 fingers for the W of Wimbledon and the #13 sign made out of balls.

On my from practise I could not resist taking a picture of Fernando Verdasco who had one of his biggest wins on Grass yesterday against Benneteau in 3 straight sets! He was going through the paces on improving his lefty weapon! ( on the grass a lethal weapon)

The grounds are spectacular and the view from the hill or mount is absolutely a must see! Very impressive to experience the tennis from this perspective!

It was absolutely a full house and the walk through this amount of people is not always fun! The best thing is to take the tunnel from Aorangi to the Millennium Building!

The end of the day was spend at the Wimbledon IMG patties where I saw many people from the past and catch up on their career and personal life! I have know them for over 20 year!

The house spectacular and the catering was at the highest level! My career started with a connection with IMG (actually through the brother Gary Swain, Tex, I got the change of a life time to work on behalf of the Agency!

Tomorrow will be a day of rain! Better take something to keep you warm and convey! Much more to come your way!!
