Rain Delay

[w@lt]

Does anyone know what the weather is supposed to be like the rest of the weekend? I thought they were predicting rain much of today, but it was just fine weather as far as I could see.

[Sawyer]

Gods, please make it stop.

[kenz]

[fcmb]

It"s not raining anymore, actually it"s sunny at the moment..

[Sawyer]

its starting, thanks god.

[fcmb]

It"s raining again(sky is full of black clouds), courts are again covered, plays are suspended

[MUHerd37]

Brits are fukkin morons. If it's gonna fukki rain, put the roof on center court and get to playing. Idiots.

[fcmb]

This is what they are going to do.
Nadal vs Kukushkin is going to be played in 30 minutes on central court.

[FlipsideRM]

Will the out court matches be played at all today? Supposed to be raining all day

[matt1216]

Good job guys..... Put the most in entertaining match on closed roof everytime..... Nobody gives a fukk about kushkin

[Marillion]

Odds of 19.00 on Nadal's worst surface is a good bet IMO.

[fcmb]

Weather is fine again, it looks like matches will start soon..

I was thinking Isner-Lopez would be a lot better

[fcmb]

Other matches that are planned to be played on central court today are:

Giraldo vs Federer & Sharapova vs Riske

[Marillion]

This opening speaking is the most pompous bs I've ever seen. Bechkam is fine but honestly I don't care that the world vice-champion in cycling from 1988 is attending.

how does rain affect grass? Me thinking the court should get a bit slower with less bounce

[kenz]

Finally Kyrgios - Vesely started

[fcmb]

it"s raining again..

[FlipsideRM]

Rain might be good for Kyrigos, hes getting ran

[whareouttogetme]

Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to host a sport that can't be played in the rain in the UK?

[FlipsideRM]

This is ridiculous. gonna be on and off again all fking day

[PharaohUB]

So are they going to play anymore today? Weather.com says clear skies for 2 hours, then rain the rest of the day.

The stadium announcer made a statement to the Nadal crowd awhile ago that the forecasts weren't looking good but they were still hoping to get in a bit of play later on in the day. I'm just thankful I hadn't placed any of my bets yet. This stop and start rain delay bs is the worst when you have $ on.

That's the case on clay but on grass I think it's opposite; becomes slick and fast, balls slide off and don't bounce high.

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Grass courts are covered. If they get wet you can't play on them at all.

[bababooey13]

I love tennis but this shit is lame. Especially after french open darkness delays. Dont have a slam without roofs and lights on every court.

[Simon Gruber]

withdrawals...

[slayer14]

Will they play Sunday to make up for loss time

[Simon Gruber]

Not a chance

Imagine Chardy and Cilic playing one of the most important matches of their lives and have to stop at 6-6 in a tiebreak..

[kenz]

Hope Cilic does not lose first set

[Spinny]

same I bet for him to win first set

[kenz]

I have ML

It must be depressing as hell to leave home with an umbrella in the end of June in case it rains.
