The Duchess of Cambridge chats with Martina Hingis as as she arrives for the Women's Singles Final at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 09, 2022 in London.
I actually got to see Venus playing Wimbledon when I was a kid, kinda before SW. Let me tell you Venus' legs are incredible and the way she moved around court is something i've never forgotten. My mate saw her play this year with Jamie Murray and said she just held this aura. Basically although Serena is incredible, count us in the Venus camp.
That is so cool. There was just something about how Venus played that was mesmerizing. She moved with such grace despite her height, and remember her matches with Martina Hingis? Man, those were EPIC. I think Venus has better technique, but Serena was the stronger power player.
Apart from our Anniversaries - the day we met online on the 18th, 20 years ago and our wedding in The Philippines, 12 summers earlier …
This year we had a back-to-back celebration.
Back in 2003 … Love 💕 🥰💕
Our Wedding, Fernwood Gardens, QC The Philippines 🇵🇭
I love sports … from gymnastics to cycling, basketball to football badminton and tennis.
And naturally, it has been a dream of mine to watch it live in action! I thought that it would be an experience to watch one of the four grand slam tournaments in Tennis 🎾 namely the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon and US Open.
It began three years ago when I’ve been submitting my application to the PUBLIC BALLOT LOTTERY to purchase tickets to the fortnight games …
I was surprised when I received an e-mail from AELTC because Tickets to this sporting event is so freaking expensive!!!
I checked and looked at all the dates and I cannot find a-seated-together tickets but one, at the Ladies’ Finals on Day 15 😍!
We were able to see three matches on Centre Court that day.
Ladies’ Finals, Vondrousova vs Jabeur
Gentlemen’s Doubles, Skupski & Koolhop vs Granollers & Zeballos
Invitational, Ladies’ Doubles Kim Clijsters & Martina Hingis
It never occurred to me that there is something at WIMBLEDON, a sense of calmness and a relaxed atmosphere. There is quiet and respect altogether. Attentive ground team, orderly queuing, distinctly uniformed and courteous officers. A real ENCAPSULATED BRITISHNESS.

SIMPLY THE BEST … This is one experience we will never forget!!!
In January this year, Martin saw an advertisement regarding the concert of André Rieu in the summer. I searched for dates and plans at André Rieu Travel.
It has been in our bucket list for years, and this time we had the chance to book his concert at The Vrijthof, Maastricht in The Netherlands 🇳🇱.
Our first concert after The Pandemic!
Every summer he and his orchestra Johann Strauss had three weeks to play in his hometown before they head out to tour all over the world.
Finally, we were there to watch this enthralling musical experience …

Last night was a blast … we had a great time at André Rieu & the Johann Strauss Orchestra at The Vrijthof, Maastricht.
