He was eventually allowed to re-enter the ground after getting into the queue again after a few hours. He also made an official complaint. "All I wanted was to peacefully chill and patiently await an opportunity to re-enter the hallowed grounds and see the decorated surface while Roger and Milos scamper and glide across it," he wrote.
A Wimbledon spokesperson confirmed the incident. "We do acknowledge, however, that in this instance the event safety staff could have provided a better explanation to him," the spokesperson said.
