As the AEGON Championships at Queens Club approaches its latter stages, a nation's interest in tennis is piqued. Despite the cachet with which Wimbledon tickets are regarded, somehow there are still over 2000 tickets available for the tournament at the All England Club.
Wimbledon Men's Final tickets are the most expensive at between £2445 and £4999, but because the previous two finals - Roger Federer against Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddick respectively - have been heralded as the most breathtaking matches in tennis history, the price is little surprise.
Wimbledon Ladies' Final tickets are substantially cheaper. Like Roger Federer, Venus and Serena Williams are viewed as two of the greatest players of all time, while Justine Henin reportedly came out of retirement purely because Wimbledon was the one Grand Slam missing from her glittering C.V. Even so, Wimbledon Ladies' Final tickets are on sale between £669 and £3745.
Of course, earlier rounds are inevitably less expensive, and Wimbledon - like the World Cup and the Olympics - is one of those sporting events that everyone has to be part of once in their life.
