“Massive joke, not tennis at its finest” – Wimbledon shuts downs the Queue system for entire day including the ladies singles finals enraging the fans

Wimbledon has announced that it will shut down its famous queue system on Saturday. This is due to a yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office. While Centre Court and Court No.1 matches will proceed as planned, they have announced that fans will not be able to queue for tickets to enter the All-England Club to view matches. This means that the sale of new tickets to finals weekend matches is essentially over.

The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning, stating that the south of the United Kingdom could experience short-term power loss on an “unseasonably windy day.” In response to the warning, Wimbledon officials decided to close the queue system as a safety measure. “We wish to notify that the Queue will be closed tomorrow and we apologize for any disappointment. We encourage all guests to dress appropriately and come prepared for the inclement weather and to check our website and social media channels for further updates.”

Despite the closure of the queue system, matches on Centre Court and Court No 1 will proceed as scheduled. The ladies’ singles final between Marketa Vondrousova and Ons Jabeur will take place on Centre Court from 2 pm (BST). The men’s doubles featuring Brit Neal Skupski will also be played on Court No 1. Fans who have already purchased tickets for these matches will be allowed to enter the All-England Club as normal.

What is the Wimbledon Queue System?

Wimbledon’s Queue system is a time-honored tradition that allows fans to purchase tickets on the day of play. The queue is organized on a first-come, first-served basis and is open to anyone who arrives early enough. It usually starts at Wimbledon Park and extends to the All-England Club, with fans camping overnight to secure their spots. The queue has become a beloved fixture of the tournament, with fans enjoying the camaraderie and excitement of the experience.

The closure of the queue system has caused disappointment among fans who had hoped to secure tickets on the day of play. The queue is an integral part of the Wimbledon experience, and many fans have expressed their disappointment on social media platforms. Some fans have also criticized the decision, stating that the organizers should have found an alternative solution rather than canceling the queue system altogether.

Meanwhile, in the men’s singles discipline, top seed Carlos Alcaraz has entered his maiden Wimbledon final to face 4 – time defending champion Novak Djokovic. Fans have for long anticipated the rematch since injuries played spoilsport during their Roland Garros semifinal encounter, which saw Novak take the win, and the title eventually. The fact that their rematch is taking place on arguably the biggest stage of the most prestigious tournament on the tour, this match has a lot of hype to live up to.
