Over half a million people are expected to attend the Wimbledon Tennis Championships to urge Andy Murray's battered body on as far as it can go. Will he be able to summon up one last hurrah?

Tickets for Centre Court and the show courts

Up to 500 tickets are made available each day for the Show Courts (Centre Court, No.1 and No.2) and it is recommended that you join the queue by the Gate 3 turnstiles well before 7.30 AM to have any chance of getting a decent seat. The end of the queue can usually be found in Wimbledon Park, which is a five-minute walk from Southfields station.

The line grows quickly as soon as the sun comes up, and some people even start queuing the night before! If you're not there by 9 AM at the absolute latest then you're unlikely to get anything.

Note: The tickets are issued one per person, so you can't queue up on your own and buy a second one for your friend. And tickets for the final four days can only be obtained by entering a public ballot which closes the previous November - see their website for details.

Tickets for the outer courts and Henman Hill

The outer courts have plenty of good games and you should be able to grab a ground pass if you arrive by 9 AM. This will give you access to the outer courts, No.3, No.12 and No.18.

You'll also be able to sit on the sloped grass north of No.1 Court (affectionately nicknamed Henman Hill or Murray Mound) and watch the day's action from Centre Court and No.1 Court on the big outdoor screen.

Note: Even the grounds have a maximum capacity, and once it's been reached you'll have to wait for people to leave before they start letting more people in.
