Play is moving to Centre Court.

Play will resume at 925 PM London Time

i'm glad they moved it to CC

wish they would've done the same for inser and cilic last night, actually

no way they'll resume actual play at 9:25, though. stadium isn't even close to full yet, and no sign of the player coming on court to warm up.

 

[cezero]

lol

judy murray is there to watch the rest of the match, and the crowd in attendance just cheered her

such a celebrity mom

Things have fallen quite nicely for me so far.

Roger winning. Serena winning. Raonic losing. Pospisil winning. Isner losing. Petkovic losing.

But with 4 active TSN channels each with ~9 hours of tennis, it's been tough squeezing it all in. You have to be selective.

I forgot Wimbledon has that stupid curfew. Did not think the match would finish before 11 but Monfils made quick work of Simon in that set so it should be done by 11

Yeah it is stupid. The only reason they moved it to CC is because of middle sunday off. Yesterday they knew they could fit Isner/Cilic in at somepoint today. Stupid thought process IMO. It would be better for players if you move their match to CC instead of playing it the following day after being suspended due to darkness.

Isn't it funny how since they built the roof on CC that it doesn't seem to rain all that often anymore at Wimbledon lol

Match point or Simon

The Williams Sisters, Murray, & Fed are the 3 on Centre Court Monday

 

[cezero]

non-tennis fans, most especially racists, who love tabloid garbage and know literally nothing about tennis will be sounding off hard core in social media and maybe even on here about the WS match.

it's freak show central when they play, and never about tennis.

you'll see.

i won't watch, but i will hope that serena is able to hold her emotions together enough to win, because venus has zero chance of winning the title.

the rest of the matches throughout the day, as usual, look pretty fucking amazing.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

i won't watch,

Why? Have I missed something? I simply will not miss it. My eyes lately have white court lines etched on them I've watched so much.

first, my comments were not aimed at the regs on here who post about tennis at a bunch of tournaments like you.

to address your post, it's just never about tennis when they play, and i've seen them play every match at every major they've ever met up at. it's been awhile since it last happened, and i just have zero desire to see it.

imagine crushing the dreams of your closest friend who happens to be your sibling. that's what the winner has to do.

i like drama as the result of excellent competition, not as the result of that. it would be cold and stupid to expect anything else from them in terms of quality, either. this is an individual sport, not a team sport like when the mannings meet up.

cezero, you are such a childish moron. You have brought your whining from ESPN forum to this one. Anybody who disagrees with you about the Williams sisters is a non-tennis fan, and RACIST. That is incredibly asinine.

Match point or Simon

Yeah, Monfils really just disappeared in the 5th set.

He's fun to watch, but I think he could've made a slam final if he were a little more disciplined.

He had fun, though, so good for him.

pretty crazy how few rainouts there have been. looks like moving it a week later set it up for even drier weather. pretty good for fans!

Middle Sunday off is probably the stupidest thing ever in Tennis

I was watch the replays yesterday, finally getting excited that i was understanding the rules as far as tennis goes, and BOOM, no tennis today. I can't win.

I suppose.

But shit happens. The loser will get some good coin.

The victor a shot at the title.

It is what it is.
