Wimbledon: 'The good vibes are the same' - the queue returns to mark start of 2022 Championships

"It's a strange comeback - but the good vibes are still the same."

Danilo, from Italy, queued for Wimbledon for the first time in 2019. Like everyone else, he's had to wait a long time to do it all again.

But, finally, after an enforced three-year absence, Wimbledon welcomed back its famous tradition to mark the start of the 2022 Championships.

After the 2020 tournament was cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic, Wimbledon returned last year but with a limited capacity and online ticket sales only.

However, the overnight campers and early risers were back in their thousands as the queue returned in full force to Wimbledon Park over the weekend and into Monday morning.
