WIMBLEDON, England — Fiona Wong, a Roger Federer fan from Melbourne, Australia, flew more than 30 hours to see her favorite player at Wimbledon for the first time. She then waited more than 30 hours to get in to see him.
Wong began lining up for tickets at 4 a.m. on Monday, arriving early to ensure that she could buy one of the 500 Centre Court tickets available to those willing to wait overnight in a tent. Her pilgrimage was completed 32 hours after she arrived, when she finally made it to Centre Court to see Federer play.
