Another one in the bag for Nadal. What a player, 14 French Opens, it’s just unbelievable.

Eurosport coverage has been excellent - paid £6.99 for a month of Discovery Plus on Amazon and it’s been great watching. Mats Wilander comes across really well - knowledgeable and amusing in equal measure - they should get him on the BBC team for Wimbledon.

Any one on here know how to get centre court tickets at Wimbledon, at a reasonable price .Always been a bucket list thing. Not a member of the royal family. or likely to be on a corporate bankers jolly. They seem to be very costly and hard to come by

I’ve got some for the first Wednesday this year fortunately (£95 each)
Its a shame you didn’t say last year as due to the pandemic you could get them the night before on the Wimbledon app
You basically have to enter the public ballot (Before Dec) or get them through the volunteers ballot at your tennis club
They are non transferable so you won’t be able to buy any
You can get debenture or members tickets also but those would be expensive (Unless you know someone)
Courts 1 and 2 are also very good and worth going too

Just enter the public ballot each year
They always draw pairs of tickets get whoever you were going to go with to apply from a different address
You have 2 chances then
You may not get centre but good chance of another court
Alternatively I went to the Paris Masters 1/4 finals in Nov saw the majority of the big players (Nadal Medvedev Djokovic) and it was only 80 euro

I’ve also done the que a few times - worth it, always a good day

Raducanu out of US Open at first hurdle, tumbling down the rankings.

A modelling career awaits.

It is amazing that a Grand Slam champion has to leave tennis at the age of 19...bizarre.
