Shrieky won her match on C1 not long after and loads of people were heading up here for tickets for either Murray or Duck Boy.
I was in front of a couple of ladies who were JJ fans so we spent the time being very British and poking fun at the Honorary Stewards and various people who were all "ok when you say you have tickets for Court 2, do you mean Court 2, or some other Court?!"
Most people wanted centre and the queue was moving achingly slowly and I was coming over all patriotic and really wanted to get back to see Andy in action...
After Shrieky's match finished and while the Beeb were doing a bit of a round up of Andy's Wimbledon last year (which was basically him watching J&J so they had a lot of Jamie and Jelena and the "well at least ONE Murray got his name on a trophy!" the queue suddenly took off... basically after matches (especially as we were getting towards the end of the day) there was a massive influx of tickets and there I was - with 2 Court 1 tickets for the cost of a tenner!!!
I pegged it back to Centre to catch the knock up and we were off.
Stayed for two sets... and the tennis was sublime
Fabrice Santoro is amazing - the gets, the angles etc - awesome.
And... Mandy Muppet was surprisingly good also - some amazing shots and his drop shots were working well.
Santoro started the second set on a roll - in fact I was wondering whether Andy was just gonna ditch that set and try to take it in 4 sets - but he came back really well.
It was a shame to leave it... but... there was JJ to watch!
