I'm going tomorrow, shame this match wasn't a day later!  

At least you'll get better weather. Even if you have tickets for Centre or No 1, it'll still nice to see play on the outside courts as well

I love wandering around the outside courts and just seeing what you can see and enjoying the atmosphere. If the weathers nice and you’ve got a cheeky day off of work it’s such a wonderful place to be.

Been Wimbledon 3 times and my favourite part is just walking around from game to game and taking it all in. 

Loved it as a kid getting all the players autographs after the games at the small courts, and playing all the mini games in the Robinsons centre or whatever it was called.

One player who I asked for his autograph when I was 12, I couldn't remember his name and he had the right hump and asked why I wanted his autograph if I don't care to learn his name 😂

Used to do that with autographs. I got John McEnroe's just before he broke though and I recall he was playing mixed doubles with Mary Carillo that year - must have been about 1976 or 1977. He was surprisingly approaching (then). Billy Jean King less so, but did sign

I have applied through the ballot most years since and been about 16 to 18 or maybe even a few more times and to about 5 or 6 finals- I'm ashamed to admit that I can't remember them all individually but can remember a few including Andy Murray's first win - although we must have been in the 2 seats the furthest from the court - but didn't mind!

I had so many amazing autographs plus pages of Charlton players from about 1976 until about 1982. It was falling apart and I was very upset when my parents checked it out with a load of stuff I'd left at the family home when they moved back to Scotland - when I was old enough to have moved out of home but still young enough not to think about what I wanted to salvage (unfortunately)

Amazing.

Same as you wondering where all my stuff went! It is criminal how much stuff my Mum or Aunt have thrown out. 

I had this really cool metallic flip book with what must have been 10s to hundreds of players competing at Wimbledon and it got thrown out by someone.

And my family wonder why I keep so much stuff now and refer to me as a hoarder when it was them who cause the emotional damage 😂

I'm gutted I don't still have the programmes from my first football matches.
