LONDON -- It's not a bad week when you take a page out of Jeff Spicoli's party manual and you wing on over to London to watch some World Cup matches at the local pubs, and mix in a day at the All England Lawn and Tennis Club to take in a few Wimbledon matches.

But thanks to a friend with free tickets, that's exactly what another friend and I were able to do on Tuesday. And because the complimentary seats and overall access were so good, a coat and tie were required.

We saw Rafael Nadal (pictured, above) win an easy first-round match and lucked into seeing the Williams sisters play their women's doubles opener. Click here for some pictures.
