For my 5 year experience I was able to tick a big item off the bucket list. My wife and I have always wanted to get to the 4 major tennis championships and we were hugely appreciative to cross Wimbledon aka "The Championships" off the list.
We managed to send the kids off to relatives and hop the pond for a few days. It was a great trip as we joined a bike tour to see the downtown highlights and get some history, tracked down some Indian food in Bermondsey and walked along the Thames.
We ended up finding a pub close to our hotel where we were able to enjoy a Sunday roast and watch matches which determined who we'd see on our Tuesday Quarterfinal's day.
The grounds of Wimbledon were immaculate with blooming flowers and ivy everywhere and had an atmosphere that I can only imagine is the equivalent Masters is to golf. We learned that Wimbledon allows you to bring in food and either a bottle of wine or a couple of beers into the grounds. There were popping champagne corks in the crowd all day.
For you tennis fans, we had incredible corner seats on Court 1 and got to see the eventual Women's Champion Marketa Vondrousova defeat Jessica Pegula in a nailbiter and Jannik Sinner handily beat Roman Safiullin. It was crazy to see live how hard these guys swing at the ball and manage to keep it in. We even got to see some of the invitational doubles with Hingis and Clijsters and was able to catch some of Djokovic's QF match on the big screen from Henman's hill.
Strawberries and cream and Pimms were consumed to have the "proper" Wimbledon experience.
We've been lucky enough to see some evening matches at the US Open and now thanks to Kognitiv we only have Roland Garros in France and the Australian Open in Melbourne to get to.
