What a day in Wimbledon taught to someone who doesn’t know much about tennis
Last Wednesday, we visited Wimbledon to see the British Johanna Konta (born to Hungarian parents!) to play the Puerto Rican Mónica Puig on No.1 Court. This would have been our first ever tennis experience thanks to a dear friend who surprised us with two tickets. However we didn’t see one single tennis ball yet alone…… Continue reading What a day in Wimbledon taught to someone who doesn’t know much about tennis
