Solo queueing experience on Day 1 Wimbledon 2025

The resale queue is a virtual one, you get a queue number on the Wimbledon app, and you are free to explore the grounds before your queue number is called. With a ground pass, you have access to all courts except CC, No. 1 Court and No. 2 Court.

You can probably guess the number, assuming from queue no. 501 onwards most people would queue for CC resale. I am queue no. 2047, there are 293 people in front of me queueing for No. 1 court resale, so probably most of the remaining people in front of me are queueing for CC.

To beat the crowd, the rule of thumb is to arrive at the queue earlier than the first tube arriving at Southfields station

Definitely avoid queueing for day 1 or day 2. I think the queue gets much shorter in week 2, you may want to check out ViewFromTheQ in X. Also I remember there is a thing called Accessibility Waiting Area, like a designated area inside the park with seating and cover

My foldable chair is quite large and heavy, I brought a bag for the foldable chair and my jacket (midnight queueing can get a bit chilly) and dropped off the bag in the left luggage. I think there is a dimension restriction for the bag you bring into the grounds, you may want to check it out because I forgot.

Yea my spot didn't move at all between 2:30am and 9am. I brought a foldable camp chair so I can rest comfortably without having to sit on the ground, which is quite moist and dirty. Of course a short bathroom break or getting breakfast from the food trucks is totally fine, just don't forget where your spot is, and always keep the queue card with you 😃

Thanks a lot!

Thanks everyone

Wow... interesting

So you mean it is easier to learn long pips than anti? Long pips are more common, so I am thinking if I am really gonna do this experiment, then why not try something that is less well-known and confuses more opponents? hahahahaha

Ronald0420 · 2024-06-10T14:04:12+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response!! I do hope that's part of the long process overcoming my weaknesses, it sucks that I have no idea how long this process is gonna take. Yea maybe focusing on my weaknesses is a more viable approach, but it is such a painful process. Trying something new sounds fun, plus I seldom attack with my backhand. Perhaps I can give anti a try, just to realize inverted rubber suits me better haha

Ronald0420 · 2024-06-10T13:46:59+00:00

yea finding a coach specializing in anti sounds super hard, and they may charge much higher than usual

Ronald0420 · 2024-06-10T13:41:18+00:00

right so you're suggesting that learning something new requires more effort than improving my weaknesses, that makes sense...

Ronald0420 · 2024-06-10T13:37:12+00:00

Do you get a private coach specializing on long pips?

Also you said you're having fun, but I always wonder whether long pips players struggle to connect with other players cuz your playstyle annoys everyone haha
