Tennis fans faced extreme conditions while queuing overnight for tickets to Wimbledon, with temperatures reaching 33C. Many waited for hours, with individuals sharing experiences of seven-hour waits and commenting on the poor management of the queue. Zoe revealed that despite her lengthy wait and responsibility at work, the experience was appealing enough for her to prioritize it. Others, like Deledda Caucig and Nicoletta Adda, expressed frustration over longer wait times compared to previous years, indicating a growing crowd and lack of efficiency.
Zoe described the queue as a once-in-a-lifetime experience, noting that it would have been easier to run a marathon than wait in the heat. She added that she had told her boss she needed an extra day off because it was her first time at Wimbledon and ultimately didn't care about her job, having already handed in her notice.
Deledda Caucig, aged 66, shared her frustration after queuing for seven hours, stating that she usually expected to wait around four and a half hours. She mentioned an unusual number of people this year, which contributed to the extended wait.
Nicoletta Adda, who queued with Deledda, commented on the poor management of the queue, expressing disbelief that waiting for seven hours had become the norm.
Father and daughter, Raju and Robyn Misra, camped out overnight and shared their experience of waiting in line since 6:30 PM the previous evening, getting only about an hour of sleep due to the extensive wait.
