James managed to get the four of us, James, Helen, Abby and myself centre court tickets for Saturday. It was great to wake up to a bright sunny day after the weeks of overcast, rainy weather. Because of the previous bad weather, we were going to get to see both the Womans final between Venus Williams and Marion Bartoli as well as the mens semi final of Roger Federer vs Richard Gasquet on centre court.

Wimbledon really is a great venue, modern, spacious, well set out. This is the last year that the centre court will not have a retractable roof, so it was good to see it before that got placed ontop.

I was pretty amped to see the two matches as Federer and V.Williams are two of the top players in the world at the moment. So we trucked on up about 10:30 to see the mens semi - the first set was very close and a really good game, but Federer still managed to take it out. But with a little momentum he simple rolled over the French kid in straight sets after that. Final score: 7:5, 6:3, 6:4. I was starting to get a little sun burnt at this point, yes sun burn in the UK - it is possible! So we went down for some pimms in the sun and a bite to eat.

The womans final was always geared up to be a one horse race with Venus vs an unknown challenger. Venus really did have Bartolis measure from the go and the final score was 6:4, 6:1
