Day 7 : Wimbledon Whites.

Day 7 : Wimbledon Whites.

As a lifelong tennis player, Wimbledon matches have been some of the most memorable sporting events for my family to bond around.  Normally broadcasted during our summer beach vacations, we'd take a break from the ocean and check up on the latest scores from Lleyton Hewitt, Justine Henin, Rafa and Roger, and naturally the Williams sisters - some of our family's favorites.

Getting the chance to go to Wimbledon was as satisfying as I'd hoped.  After a remarkably uneventful ticket-purchasing process, we traveled to the small town outside of London for what turned out to be a very memorable day.  

The players personalities were highly entertaining, and the matches did not disappoint.
