Watched the game in Center court without ticket at Wimbledon

Japanese version is here.

I updated the webpage. → Wimbledon
In 2015/07/04, A miracle happened to me when I was in Wimbledon.

Queue
The start was 0a.m. in July 4th.
In Wimbledon, we can buy the ticket at the fixed price, so many people stand in a queue.
Although we plan to start standing in a queue from July 3rd, it was started from 0a.m. because of train's delay.

The park for a queue is closed at 22:30, and only the people who already stand in a queue can go inside. So we go to the place as we already stand in a queue, and we start setting up the tent.
But the weather suddenly becomes awful. The rain was really strong as storm, and the both inside and outside of tent got wet.

Finally we finished setting up the tent and went to sleep, but don't go to sleep with wet cloth and wet tent. We shivered with the cold.
We got up at 5a.m., and went into the hall at 11:30.


Lleyton Hewitt
The hall is so crowded. There are many courts, but to go into the center court, we should

1. go within first 500 in a queue, and pay 25000 yen
2. pay 250000 ~ 500000 yen at online

and we need tickets to go into No. 1 and No. 2 court.
So, most people go to No. 3 ~ 17 court.
We went to No. 12 court to watch dables game of Hewitt.

In the hot sun, Hewitt comes into the court after two games finished.
Many fun of Hewitt shouted and sang the song at any place in the game.
And in the fourth set, set count is 1-2 and both team keeps their service game.

Although the team of Hewitt lost their service point in the tie-break, they won the game and went into the final set. The game is so hot.
Finally, they won the game as 6-2. The time for the game is almost 4 hours.


Center court
We satisfied with the game of Hewitt, and the time was already 6 p.m.
We walked around Murray mound, Center court, and the score board of final game.
When we finished everything and tried to go home, a miracle was happened.

"We have no time and should go home, so do you need this ticket ?"

Unexpectedly, the elderly couple talked to us and showed me the tickets.
When I checked the ticket, there are some letters like...

Saturday, July 4
Center court

We appreciated to them, ran, and went into the Center court !!
Moreover the game is Murray vs Seppi, which is most popular game in the week.
Tiredness disappeared quickly, and watched the game with excitement.

That's all of the miracle in Wimbledon.
In the fact, the place where we stood is between the exit of center court and gate.
There are many people who was leaving, so to go into the center court,

3. wait at the exit of center court

may be good if you have a chance.

Sincerely
