Wimbledon

Two days ago me and my dad went to Wimbledon! First we got on the train and went to Southfields.

There were lots of tennis things there. When we got to Wimbledon we checked our bags and signed our tickets, which were an amazing gift from mum’s friend’s friend! Thanks!!

We got on the hill and watched the men’s finals between Djokovic and Anderson. I wanted Djokovic to win, and he did!

There was an enormous screen.

When the match had finished we queued up to get return tickets for the Mixed Doubles Final on Centre Court. When we got them I screamed! I was very excited to go to Centre Court.

We walked to Centre Court and went upstairs. We couldn’t find the right entrance at first and we had 6 goes and eventually found the right one!

We sat down, then the players came on and had a warm up (check the video). Then they started playing. Unfortunately, Jamie Murray and Victoria Azerenka lost. It was an amazing match!

Then my tooth fell out. Ha ha!

We walked around all the courts and had a good look round Wimbledon. Then a man gave me 50 stickers saying ‘I’ve queued in the sun in Wimbledon’, AND the tournament programme (which was £10!).

Then we went for a pizza. Dad got the same size pizza as me, but then they said, ‘sorry your pizza is a bit small, we’ll get you another one!’

What a lucky day! Free tennis, free stickers, free programme, free pizza!

Then we got the train home. All the streets and the train station had pictures of tennis stuff.

After the match I made my own Wimbledon and I made some paintings too!

Me and dad have been playing tennis every day after school too.
