A friend of mine from business school just started a job with the USTA and he was able to get some Centre Court tickets for the Gentleman's Quarterfinals. Saw Nadal play a Brit (Andy Murray) and Federer with only one rain delay. Overall it's a great event. Very English. A lot more people are wandering the grounds than I would have thought so it was actually quite crowded trying to walk around during the rain delay. The Centre Court crowd was kinda annoying - over eager to laugh at anything that gets yelled out from the crowd. The squirrel-like movements of the ball boys and girls was quite humorous - it's hard to see on TV, but watch them next time. Anyway, some photos.
Got my strawberries and cream.
Champ-to-be Venus looking bored during the rain delay.
Next year the retractable roof...
Roger dominating.
Big week for Spain.
The non-grandstand courts are pretty sweet - could step over a 3 foot wall and onto the court.
