When I went to the ladies final in 2002 the cost of a ticket was £62.

According to the BofE inflation calculator that would be £115 now. I can't remember the exact amount I paid in 2010, somewhere around £104 and that would be £160 now.

I paid £200 a ticket in 2017 for the mens final. Nice to see Federer in a final but Cilic got injured quite early in 2nd set, played on as it was the final but rest of match wasn't competitive, so not great. Did get doubles after but I would have rather paid a lot less and gone in the first week with all the outside courts to watch etc.

£210 a ticket for the QF's on Tuesday on No 1 court. Did get yo see Taylor Fritz, Amanda Anisimova and a fabulous women's doubles with Kudermetova and Mertens agai st Dabrowski and Routliffe.

That's not a criticism of Amanda, it's just a lot of money for a pretty rubbish match, that's the nature of Sport but prices are so high now it's not worth taking a chance that you'll get a classic.

I'm sure Iga won't care but that kind of result isn't good for the tournament and women's tennis in particular.
