Day 8

Written by: Sven Groeneveld on 1st July 2013

Day 8 |

Why can not all grand slams have a tennis free Sunday? It is a must because it also creates so many great matches at one time and for all spectators to have at least a chance to see some great tennis!

Every morning the announcement is made when the gates are opened at Wimbledon! “Please do not Run” well they even have a whole line of ushers leading the fans into the grounds to avoid people getting hurt while entering The Championships

Due to the many pigeons here at Wimbledon they also have some help from a famous Hawk that helps to keep the Pigeons away from the courts and not disturb play! Check out the cap the bird is wearing even he is being branded with Green and Purple

Everything is branded from the courts to umbrellas to the clothing sold in the shop and even the lines people and ball boys/girls

It was another beautiful day and with the upset of the 2nd week it just has started where the 1st week left off! However Andy did come through today and the “Murray Mound” was filled to its full capacity during the match of Andy!

The day always ends the same way and that is my walk back from Wimbledon to the adidas tennis House and it is a Beauty! Fingers crossed we will stay another year next year! My Home away from Home
