Question about rain delays...

[NickDiaz209]

Are they likely to complete the matches today or tomorrow?


For example, the Azarenka match, the Tipsarevic match, and the Del Potro match?

[Pew Pew]

And also, do they have lights at Wimbledon or they can't play during the darkness?

My bad for thread jacking...

[yisman]

They have lights, but only on the main courts I believe.

All majors aside from Roland Garros have entered the 21st century and have lights on some courts.

Wimbledon didn't have lights until 2009, I believe, when they put in a roof with lights at Centre Court.

[shari91]

No lights except for centre court.

I'm assuming since it's 7pm there now, play is done for the day.

[BravesandMagic]

Didn't tipsarevic retire?

No. Rain stopped play during his first service game.

Murray's match started about 25 minutes ago and is ongoing.

3-3 in first set

Yeah, he'll be the last one because they're under the roof. Other than that, I can't see them starting the outside courts back up again at this point. Going to be a long 2 weeks yet again.

[letsgo]

Rest of matches are moved to tomorrow.

[gonliSs]

Only Murray's match today, other matches tomorrow.

[BravesandMagic]

Didn't tipsarevic retire the match due to injury?

Basically,the matches set for early games will be played later that day?Anybody know how many matches were played and how much were supposed to play?

[yisman]

right, I don't think they'll restart the other courts either. I just meant that play is not quite done for the day because they'll keep this match going under the roof and lights.

They'll retool the schedule somehow tomorrow.

Matches scheduled but didn't even start: Roddick, Verdasco, Jankovic, Pavly, Wozniak, Falconi, Marino, Erakovic, Rochus, Broady, Vinci, King, Petrova, Hantuchova, Petkovic, Kvitova, Pironkova

[face]

why did they quit showing the murray match on espn that was exciting to see him lose?
it's back on now, espn is weird jumping around wtf?

[yisman]

Dunno, I'm watching on espn3.com

I was looking at the Wimbledon TV schedule and Sunday, June 26 is blank. Is that a holiday or something?

Anyone have any info on K. Anderson vs. Marchenko? I think they were about halfway done. Earlier today Wimbledon website said it was 'To Finish' and now it says 'Postponed'. Any idea when they are going to finish?

I believe Anderson won in 5

[yisman]

Correct. The match was completed earlier today.

[mike0]
