On Monday 8th July, the Sports faculty took 8 members of the CFBS tennis squad on a trip to Wimbledon.
They were fortunate to have ground passes which allowed them access to all the open courts. They had views of many players engaged in hard fought battles, but the best views came on court 12 -which is like a Roman amphitheatre – giving great views from their tennis seats.
They saw full matches of young players (16 years of age!) singles and adults playing doubles. With no rain interruptions, the standard of play was phenomenal – so fast – powerful – and amazingly accurate. Afterwards, the squad visited the tennis games arcade and the Wimbledon museum of tennis.
