Overview

• Men’s and women’s semi-final matchups, including Novak Djokovic vs. Jannik Sinner and junior contests featuring Hannah Klugman, have stretched queue lengths at Wimbledon Park to record levels
• Fans arriving around 4–5 a.m. secure £25 grounds passes and often gain access to Centre Court tickets through an afternoon resale lottery for a nominal extra fee
• Barclays, American Express and Vodafone activations in the Queue Village provide free coffee, pastries, bottled water, radios and other giveaways to ease long waits
• An on-site resale service inside the grounds offers spectators who leave show-court seats early a second chance at main court access
• A SW19 heatwave has forced queuers to depend on sun hats, water bottles and Centre Court’s retractable roof and led some veteran fans to question whether the ordeal is worth it
