Morning all,
I am excited as I am going to Wimbledon today with my eldest Grandson.
I have got tickets for Court One and are due to see Tomic v Djokovic and Nadal v Fish. Should be good matches.
Please pray for NO rain !!

Have a great day. Don't mention the R word! From what I can see of the weather here, in Somerset, you should have a lovely day.

I think you picked a better day, especially after the dreadful storms yesterday. Have a great time.

I'll be watching Nadal on TV. Enjoy the day.

Have a wonderful time....!! Looks like you have great tickets to be watching these champions!!!

SparkMonkey 06-29-2011 04:29 AM

Ooooooh, my boyfriend would be green with envy. He was quite a tennis player 15 or so years ago and still adores the game.

Have a great time!!!

I hope you have a blast but I can't pray for no rain as we are suffering here in TExas. Send it here for sure. HUGS♥♥

How exciting this will be. What a great experience for both of you. Enjoy and tell us of your time there when you return home.

nativetexan 06-29-2011 11:44 AM

oh wear your ear plugs. they all grunt now. i can't watch due to that.

DottyD 06-29-2011 12:46 PM

Thanks for all your good wishes and we had a really great day.
Djokovic was very good, although he did have a bit of a fight against Tomic and then Nadal was well on form -- and it did NOT rain a drop. I hope you get some rain in Texas to cool you down a little Debbie !!

Marcia D 06-29-2011 01:21 PM

How fun! Good for you.

Have a wonderful day with your Grandson!

collady 06-30-2011 04:51 AM

Oh, I am green eyed! I watch on television, but I would love to be there. I loved to play tennis, and still enjoy watching the athleticism of the players.

Joan Dickson 06-30-2011 05:42 AM

WOW - I'm impressed!!! I have been watching it on TV and not getting any sewing done!!! I also play tennis but watch better than play.

mimee4 06-30-2011 05:59 AM

How wonderful for you. Enjoy your day!!

kateyb 06-30-2011 06:03 AM

Have a wonderful day with your grandson. Having a day with our grand children makes for great memories.

mzmama 06-30-2011 06:06 AM

Have some strawberries and cream, don't forget.

Lynneander 06-30-2011 07:57 AM

I'm envious ... have a wonderful time!

wisconsin 06-30-2011 08:02 AM

Have a great time. I sure would like to be there.

Andrea 06-30-2011 08:28 AM

Oh you lucky, lucky lady! And such top players, too. It must be amazing to go to a stadium that seats thousands. My son took me to a smaller match in Washington, DC. about 10 years ago. I had watched the semi-final on my TV at home, then flew to Virginia for a 3-day visit which included the tennis final. I, too, was lucky. Saw Agassi and Kafelnikov. I've been so glad I had that experience. Actually you can see much better by watching it on TV, but there's nothing quite like experiencing the sounds and smells and energy of actually being there. Hope you had a great day!

Have a great time

This has been my dream for so many years! Wonderful matches you got to see! Of course I was rooting for the underdogs to win! But the semis should be great! Missing my favorite Federer!

Sandra in Minnesota 06-30-2011 01:51 PM

Have always wanted to go to
Wimbledon. Have fun!

golfer 06-30-2011 04:26 PM

How fortunate for you! I am now watching Sharapova and Lisicki play. I have a knee problem so I have been watching Wimbledon nonstop and do some sewing in between. Do you play tennis? I played years ago but now I play golf. It is less strenuous but flustrating.
