Wimbledon 2025 Special: The Parallels Between Tennis and Property

The world's most famous tennis championship, Wimbledon, has begun. So let's take a (slightly tongue-in-cheek) look at the parallels between championship tennis and selling or letting a property.

Wimbledon 2025 Special: The Parallels Between Tennis and Property
Before you get started, cut the grass
 
And make sure everything else is looking its very best too.
 
Unlike Wimbledon, you don't have to cut your lawn to precisely eight millimetres – but you get the idea.
 
If you're opening your property for viewings, ensure it's well-presented.
 
Patience is a must
 
The longest-ever Wimbledon match stretched out over three days.
 
Consider yourself a top Wimbledon fan if you know the year and the players involved. (See below for the answer.)
 
Unfortunately, the process of selling or letting a home can take time, too.
 
But the principles are just the same – hang on in there.
 
Keep your eye on the ball
 
It's important to keep your eye on the ball – in a way that would impress Roger Federer.
 
By staying focused, you can anticipate what's going to happen next, respond quickly and help speed everything along at the fastest possible pace.
 
Sometimes it goes over your head
Whether it's a tennis ball or some complicated legalese that you don't understand, try to stay composed.
 
And remember, there are plenty of experts out there to help you.
 
Playing doubles is a whole lot easier
 
When you play doubles, you don't have to do all the running around.
 
It's just the same with buying, selling, letting or renting. Double up with a partner who can help you share the load.
 
Everything begins with good service
 
In tennis, good service increases your chances of winning the game (and the set and match) considerably.
 
It's just the same in property. You need an agent who offers great service if you want to be a winner.

We hope you've enjoyed this post and that your favourite player does well in Wimbledon this year.

Meet Abigail

  Hello, my name is Abigail, and I am the Grey in Grey & Co. I started working here in 2002 as a Junior Negotiator and have worked my way up the ranks since then. I took over running the company in 2014 and have been enjoying the roller coaster that is leadership ever since.   During my 20 plus years at Grey & Co I have dealt with the sale of over £100,000,000 worth of property and overseen the management of assets worth £250,000,000 for clients around the world.   I also had the pleasure of working with my father, the founder of Grey & Co, for 15 years before he sadly passed away and from him, I learnt the work hard ethic and our values today are still the ones that he founded the company on all those years ago.   Be Remarkable, Be Passionate, Be Humble and Be Better.   As a community centric boutique family agency, you couldn’t find a better partner to take with you on your property journey.
