Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championship

Will this be the year that Britain finally has its first Wimbledon winner since Fred Perry way back in 1936? Last year, much like 2010, Andy Murray made it gamely to the semi-finals but was obliterated by a rampant Rafael Nadal for the second year running. Still, with it being the third successive semi-final for the Scot at Wimbledon he could continue with his progression, and then surely it is only a matter of time before Murray gets a shot at the title. Wimbledon is the most watched tennis event in the Grand Slam calendar; with a TV audience of untold millions and over half a million spectators attending the All England Club to catch the action live. Many tennis pros covet the Wimbledon crown above all others and the grass surface makes for fast, breathless duels. Tickets can be applied for through the public ballot on the website, if however you're not lucky enough to get hold of one it is easy to get in to the grounds if you queue up in the morning. There are only 500 tickets for the centre courts available, so you have to turn up seriously early - or queue overnight - to be certain of getting to see the biggest matches, but in the first week the outer courts still have some of the world's greatest players and you can grab tickets for them if you arrive by about 9am.
