Wimbledon Tennis Adventure (2) - Hingis and Rain

Posted by natee , Reader : 852 , 07:30:52 | Category : General Interest

I rubbed my eyes a couple of times to make sure I wasn’t dreaming, and even after my eyes had turned crimson red I still saw the same vision of Martina Hingis running back and forth on court 13. I was a breath away from the tennis legend, and to my surprise, I didn’t even have to queue.I arrived in Wimbledon at about 3PM, hot and ready to queue up. Already, a short line had began to for....
