Day 2 Wimbledon Tennis

A very special day, almost ruined by my morning tantrums. I didn't know how to play the game, the rules and now I learnt why the empire often said "30-Love, 40-Love", Deuce, Advantage andMatch point". Packed my lunch - sandwich with fried bacon, egg and fresh bread, strawberries, PIMMs nicely mixed by TBK and spicy Thai crisps. There were 19 courts and I got ticket for Court 2. Watched two games half-away and one completely. We walked around the courts and peeped into games already playing. Some courts were so open, with games on where people just strolled pass. All the British I supported lost, and two won when I couldn't watch them. So it seemed I have the jinx moolah over British players. Hur hur hur. So if I have the chance to catch any games next year I may conveniently miss any British player.

The match I watched from the start to the end and the article from guardian - Alex Bogdanovic makes his eighth first-round exit in eight years.

Other matches I watched - completely Court 2, 1st ladies match half way at Court 2, Court 9.
