The Queen Comes Calling at Wimbledon’s Centre Court… 1
The Queen arrives at a 33-year absence from Centre Court at Wimbledon.
As if Andy Murray did not have enough pressure on his young shoulders, now he must worry about his bow to the Queen of England before his match gets underway on Centre Court. There Murray will meet Jarkko Nieminen of Finland in the second round.
The Queen has come calling––her first visit in 33 years––to see young Mr. Murray and, some suspect, to pay her respects to this tournament that stands out as one of England’s finest events. As a reluctant visitor, the Queen should serve as a good luck charm for the man from Scotland.
Along with the Duke of Edinburgh, the Queen will stroll the grounds and meet tennis’ top players including the No. 1 seeds Roger Federer and Serena Wllliams––they will be on hand to lunch with the Queen. Serena has been busy beating up on opponents and practicing her curtsy anticipating her luncheon with the Queen.
