GALLERY | WIMBLEDON 2019
A collection of my photos from the tournament.
It started with a ferry from Dublin to Holyhead...
When I finally got to London, Wimbledon mania was everywhere
Even when you roamed far from the grounds, you couldn't escape The Championships!
It's all grand keeping up with the action virtually, but nothing beats the real thing
There is nothing quite like the backdrops at Wimbledon while you're observing play
There's plenty to watch (and consume) depending on your mood
After waiting so long to get here, how could I resist an old staple?
Wherever you walk on the grounds, there is impressive attention to detail. Court No.1 is beautifully constructed.
And as for the surface itself. Try spot a bump if you can!
I was lucky to catch Karolina Muchova on an outside court. She would eventually reach the last eight.
It wasn't quite as smooth for Garbine Muguruza, as she crashed out early and fired her coach soon after
If Fernando Verdasco is on a court, I will make it my business to see him
Grass suits certain players and Anastasija Sevastova is particularly elegant on the turf
Another player who feels comfortable on grass is the 2013 junior champion Belinda Bencic
On the Thursday of week one, I hit the jackpot with a resale ticket for Court no.1. The day started with one of my favourites, Petra Kvitova
Then it came time to witness the 8-time champion and legend, Roger Federer
There's probably never been as elegant a player on this surface
If that wasn't enough, seven-time singles winner Serena Williams was scheduled next
And incredibly - as part of his comeback from injury - Andy Murray was added last on the bill in a doubles
Unfortunately, I could only watch Murray for a while before it was time to hit the airport and home
Apart from the odd phone image, all photos during that trip were taken with a Fujifilm FinePix S2970.
