And Watson has lost. Way closer than I expected, but that was only because of the crowd. That same match played at any other venue, Serena would have absolutely crushed Watson.

The crowd certainly lifted her, but you can't attribute it all to the crowd, they weren't on the court matching Serena Williams for 2 sets, Heather Watson was, she was extremely resilient against the relentless power of Serena's shots and did brilliantly to get herself back into a match which looked beyond her after the first set. Hopefully Heather can move on from here up the rankings and maybe go further next year.
Serena won because the difference in skill between them is quite big. Serena made LOADS of bad shots and mistakes and still won. This was one of her worst matches this year and we get to see Venus vs Serena now. Watson played well though.
I want to ask whether it's worth me going there tomorrow. I plan to join the queue at around 5am. Would I get a ground pass? and what time would I get into the inside?
Anyone queued for tickets at Wimbledon before? I want to ask whether it's worth me going there tomorrow. I plan to join the queue at around 5am. Would I get a ground pass? and what time would I get into the inside?
I've queued 4 times- although I have always went the night before for centre/ court 1/ court 2.
You tend to find, from the first tube to arrive at Southfields [Near queue] it really starts to fill up.
By 5AM you would be highly likely to get ground passes, and I would say you would be in before 11am-Midday, perfect for the start of play. I can't guarantee this, but I am going on a guesstimation based on previous years.
Terrific match, Watson played well but serenas unforced errors kept Watson in the game. Then watson choked ahh 3 games up... At least we see the Williams play each other
Poor Watson. She gave it her all. Losing that break in the final set did her in, though. It was all downhill from there - and Serena turned it on in style and was relentless.
