LONDON (Reuters) - The rare combination of sunny skies and a British defending champion has made tickets for this year's Wimbledon tennis tournament even more in demand than usual.

Stuart Bere, a gardener from Lincolnshire, England was first in "The Queue" for tickets on Monday, ensuring he would get to see last year's men's singles champion and local favourite, Andy Murray, play on the tournament's opening day.
