I thought the online sales started at 8:00pm, but it turned out to be at 8:30pm. From about 8:15pm, I was constantly clicking the mouse, refreshing the page, opening new browsers. I must've done it at least 50 times...and hooray!!! I got a ticket : )
Thinking that matches started at 11:00am, I was at the court a bit after 10:00am. The start time was actually 1:00pm. Oops. I must've been too excited to be able to see a Federer match...
Being London, rain delays. Nonetheless, I had a fun time watching the rain covers go on and off, the ball boys/girls go in and out of the court, and the fluffy seats in the box area be set up and folded down...all in a finely synchronized manner!
In the meantime, I tried out their famous strawberries and cream. Not good - the strawberries were a bit too hard and sour, and I don't like cream to being with. Hehe.Play finally started around 3:00pm. I watched Federer easily win (over who I forgot...), and Serena kill Mauresmo. Even though the seats were last row, I had a great view of the match.
Federer awesomeness:

Now all I need is to go see the Australian Open to complete my Grand Slam viewing.
