A guy at work as tickets to a semi final, might take him up on the offer.

Britain's Andy Murray has been drawn against world number 56 Daniel Gimeno-Traver in the first round of Wimbledon.
Defending champion Rafael Nadal will open play on Centre Court on Monday against American Michael Russell.
John Isner will play Nicolas Mahut in a repeat of last year's record-breaking 11-hour match.
In the women's draw, top seed Caroline Wozniacki plays Arantxa Parra Santonja and reigning champion Serena Williams faces Aravane Rezai.
Serena and Venus Williams, winners between them of nine of the last 11 Wimbledon titles, have been drawn in opposite halves, setting up the possibility of a fifth final between the siblings.
Murray should have few problems with Gimeno-Traver, having beaten him in straight sets on hard court in Valencia two years ago, as well as on clay in a Futures tournament in 2005.
Gimeno-Traver, 25, lists clay as his favourite surface and has won just one match in two previous appearances at the All England Club.
British number two James Ward, a semi-finalist at Queen's Club last week, faces a tough opener against France's 19th seed Michael Llodra, while fellow wildcards Dan Cox and Dan Evans take on Sergiy Stakhovsky and Florian Mayer respectively.
Among the women, British number one Elena Baltacha has been drawn against a qualifier, while Heather Watson meets France's Mathilde Johnansson, Laura Robson plays German Angelique Kerber, and there is an all-British clash between Anne Keothavong and Naomi Broady.
Isner v Mahut again :lol: :haha: :doh:
Someone is surely taking the piss?!
Ward :rose:.
Oh, and I predict Nadal and Li Na for the title.
Li Na :bow:.
I predict a p*ss easy run to the semi's for Murray.
Federer and Serena (I hope I am horribly wrong of the latter). I'd say Djokovic but I don't have the foggiest about how he'll be on grass, probably awesome if this season is anything to go by.
Whose side of the draw is Del Potro on, Djokovic's or Nadal's?
I will accept nothing less than 100-98 in the fifth for Isner - Mahut :sulk:
Isner and Mahut had best be doing endurance training.
Nadal and Del Potro could meet in the third round :popcorn:.
The Nadal/Murray section looks slightly tougher.

Federer could meet Nalbandian in the third round. :popcorn:
6-0 6-0 6-1 tbh.Quote:

Couldn't even triple bagel him.
Sounds like Wimbledon could be very stop-start with the predicted rain over the next 10 days or so.
Centre court matches should be fine though.
They might have a fair bit of waiting around to do mind. Seeds through into the second round, but having to hang on for a few days to see which Bogdanovic-follower can squeeze through out there on Court 13. So I don't think this will necessarily cut down on us going back to Barker every so often to show us 'some tennis off tape' with the big 'R' in the corner.Quote:

They'll be round the block :bow:
Can't believe its been 10 years since I last went to Wimbledon. Saw Venus Williams win it that year :bow:
Running away.Quote:

Hopefully they have four ridiculously long tiebreaks and then another 70-68 epic.
Nadal hasnt lost at Wimbledon since 2007
We'll see him and then later on Murray on Centre
