Cultural Dessert

We had a lovely day at Wimbledon last Friday. We saw both ladies’ doubles semi-finals (including the ladies’ singles finalist Vera Zvonereva) and both mixed doubles semi-finals on court one. There was some very entertaining tennis – particularly the mixed doubles match won by the eventual champions, Leander Paes and Cara Black. And we had plenty of sunshine and more than six hours of uninterrupted play. It was a shame to miss the men’s singles semi-finals, which were being played on centre court, but we were sat towards the back of court one and could hear the reactions of the crowd on Henman Hill and snatches of commentary from the big screen, so it was relatively easy to work out what was happening.
