Often, tennis fans are only alerted to the fact that Wimbledon is fast approaching when the world’s top players start making headline news in Wimbledon’s ‘warm up’ tournaments. It’s also about this time that those without a ticket start worrying whether they’ve left it too late to get one. Fortunately, there is more than one way of getting tickets for Wimbledon so you won't need to miss out on the excitement and atmosphere of a day at this prestigious tennis event.

Many tennis players find returning the kick serve to be one of the most difficult shots they have to deal with. This is because when the ball lands it bounces much higher than normal and may also spin away from you. This puts the ball well above the height at which most people are comfortable swinging their racquet. There are however, a few techniques which you can put into practice to help you become adept at returning the dreaded kick serve.

If you’re a tennis player ranked outside the top 100 in the world and harbor aspirations of playing at Wimbledon, chances are, you’ll have to qualify. But everyone has to start somewhere and if you’re aiming for the top, what better place to start than Wimbledon?
