1/15/09 wimbledon

Got to the Wimbledon complex and it was really cold and windy as we toured around the grounds. It was interesting to see the extreme measures they take to get the perfect grass for tennis, having a robot tester and even counting individual blades of grass. We went into Court 1 and also got to walk down the path that all the Wimbledon tennis players walk down and the press room they hold meetings inside. We also got to meet Wimbledon's CFO, who gave some good insights into Wimbledon's brand prestige and history. Unfortunately we couldn't see Center Court because it was under construction with a new automatic roof.
