Have you ever been to the Wimbledon tennis tournament? I’ve never had the opportunity to go, but I think it would be awesome to get Wimbledon tennis tickets someday. I pretty much stink at playing tennis myself, but I know how the game works and think it would be really neat watching people who actually know what they’re doing!
The Wimbledon Tennis Tournament is run by the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AETC). It requires over 6,000 people on staff, both members of the AETC and people who are hired temporarily to help run the tournament. That gives you an idea of just how big an event this is!
Last year’s tournament was definitely exciting! Roger Federer beat Rafael Nadal, securing his title as King of Wimbledon for another year! Venus Williams won the ladies championship for the fourth year in a row. And Jamie Murray became the first Briton to win a title in 20 years! Those are just a few of the exciting events of last year’s Wimbledon. There are sure to be many more this year!
The 2008 Wimbledon Tennis Tournament is coming right up! This year it’s between June 23 and July 6, so you’d better get to work getting your hands on some tickets now! You won’t be sorry!
