The same goes both ways. My dream has always been to go to Wimbledon. I've never even seen a grass court.
yea i can understand the NY situation when it's those 2 weeks, must be an absolutely swarm of people! At wimbledon it's a bit different....you have people camping out all night to get cheap tickets in the morning (like me!)

it's all very civilisied - every body in the camps has fun, and it's generally nice with bonfires e.t.c also the whole atmosphere is intense but there is so much grenery and beautiful views that it just makes you forget about everything....also of course the strawberries and cream are gourgeous (MUST have at Wimbly!)
also i suppose the NY courts are in the city...wimbly is in the outskirts, in the 'middle of nowhere' as i call it, comapring to where i live - heart of london!
