Wimbledon: World's Rowdiest Sporting Event
“This tennis tournament is the world’s rowdiest sporting event,” said Prince Harry before this photo was taken of him at Wimbledon and most definitely not a block party in Belize.

1. “It’s so loud I can’t hear myself think.”

2. “Not Federer’s best surface.”

3. “I think I’ll pass on the champagne. Can I get a Bud Light?”

4. “That grass looks fake.”

5. “Such a coincidence that everyone’s wearing white!”

6. “Not really a fan of Andy Murray.”

7. “This looks easier to play on than a hard court.”

8. “Don’t think Serena’s gonna win this one.”

9. “Compared to other tennis tournaments, Wimbledon seems way less elitist.” 

10. “I hate strawberries.”

11. “I haven’t seen a crowd this rowdy since Woodstock!” 

12. “Let’s heckle him.”

13. “What’s a fortnight?” 

14. “Bet there’s not a bar in America that isn’t playing Wimbledon matches this week.”

15. “Not looking for an autograph from any of the players, just Princess Charlotte.”

16. “Who is Tim Henman?”

17. “Everyone always remembers Nicolas Mahut’s three career titles, but never that he lost in the longest match of all time here.”

18. “It’s such a shame that no one cares about the men’s draw. The women are great, but geez, give the guys a chance, too.”

19. “Roger Federer’s won Wimbledon a couple of times, right?”

20. “I bought these tickets on Craigslist.”

21. “Doesn’t feel like Djokovic really wants this one.”
