Old and new tennis fans will be in for some treat with thrilling games lined up starting with Djokovic possibly facing former no. 1 Leyton Hewitt and Sharapova taking on China's Wang Qiang in the early rounds of the draw. Former champion Federer may also encounter a second round battle against American Sam Querrey who recently displayed a fine performance at the Nottingham Open.

Of course, there's no better way to watch Wimbledon than seeing it live. Lining up for tickets may sound daunting but there is an easy way, according to The Mirror and that is purchasing through Ticketmaster or viagogo.

For those opting to line up on opening day, the Guardian recommends camping for at least a night to purchase show court tickets. The Wimbledon park, equipped with a cafe and toilets, is open to all campers who will be guided by stewards once inside the complex. And for a hassle-free experience, it is always best for fans to be aware of the order of play, which is announced the night before, so as to secure the desired court ticket. 

As for the prices, Forbes recently reported that tickets purchased from the singles quarterfinals will hit the thousand dollar mark. Tickets for the women's side are priced at $1,130 and $1,419 for the semifinals and finals respectively. Meanwhile, for the men's game, semifinals tickets will be at $4,816 while the finals will be sold for $5,618.

The expensive price is the result of a high ticket demand after Andy Murray's recent win at Queen's Club. When the British no. 1 reached the Wimbledon finals in 2013, a pair of tickets went up to almost $17,000, a figure predicted to increase this year should Murray reach the finals again.

Prices and queues notwithstanding, Wimbledon remains a must-watch as it exhibits the best in tennis and a certain prestige that no other tournament can match.
