So, Holger with the break then.
Ugo is playing very well. He's not giving this match up with out a fight.

Raahh · 31/10/2024 20:43

ooh- match point Ugo.

The roof might come off.

Allez!!

Raahh · 31/10/2024 20:43

Well done Ugo,

JaneJeffer · 31/10/2024 20:43

I wish they could concentrate on one match at a time

Wow Ugo!

JaneJeffer · 31/10/2024 20:44

Did Holger fast forward while all that was happening?

Well done Holger

Obviously the commentators were making an uneducated guess about calling the trainer Grin

Just watched the end of Ugo’s match - wow! Incredible level from him. It would be lovely if he won the tournament. Felt a bit sorry for Carlos with the crowd cheering his first serve faults.

Can anyone enlighten me on how the LTA Wimbledon ticketing process works? I’ve had an email to say I’ve been successful in the ballot and I need to log in next week to select my preferred day and court. This is the first year I’ve tried for the LTA one, I’ve had tickets in the main public ballot before but I was just offered a specific day, and I’d assumed this would be the same.

kazzaD66 · 31/10/2024 22:48

Well done ice! I* *think it's better this way because, as you say, you can choose your day and court. The other year, because Djok was the defending champion, we knew he'd be playing on Mon, Wed, Friday, so could confidently choose Centre Court and No1 Court tickets on Saturday and the second Monday, knowing he wouldn't be playing Grin

kazzaD66 · 31/10/2024 23:27

And, iirc, you can choose your seats, which is why we took No1 Court tickets because they were much better seats than were available on Centre Court.

JaneJeffer · 31/10/2024 23:32

Well done Grigor. Not a good day for the French apart from Ugo. Maybe things will be a bit quieter tomorrow!

Lucky you Ice! I’ve been lucky in the LTA ballot the last 2 years but no email here yet.

Fizzywinegum · 01/11/2024 08:21

I'm jealous Ice - I've also applied in the LTA ballot but no email - I wonder if they do it in phases like the Wimbledon ballot?

Thanks for the info kazza, so is there a list of sessions and you tick all the ones you’re interested in? Is it important to get your selections in early once the booking window opens or does timing not matter? I was a bit worried it was going to be like booking popular concert tickets where they keep disappearing as you’re trying to select them!

Edited to add: just read your second message and I think you’re saying it is a booking process where you have to select specific seats.

IceandIndigo · 01/11/2024 09:04

Fingers crossed for others hoping for tickets!
