The wonder of Wimbledon

Text: Deepti Patwardhan

"You'll never get a ticket for Wimbledon," warned a lot of friends.

The previous evening I learnt why they said that.

There were people, some from far away places, making their journey of a lifetime to Wimbledon.

Some had put up tents, some were sitting on reclining chairs, reading books or newspapers; some were playing music for entertainment and some ready to spend the night there on the pavement just to be first in line and get the best seats.
