Wimbledon Day 10

First topic message reminder :

Now it's really business time.

The matches have been previewed a done the order of play is out. Federer will be relieved to be on Centre and hoping for rain and a covered court. Murray too, as both stand to benefit if they win and their opponents have to play Thursday. I have no idea what the forecast is though.

Fed is serving.

What a farce. Close the F roof if it is v likely to rain!

That really looks like Federer serving. Lol

Its a setup to close the roof later so Fed can get a break for the back pain.

He is winning. Can't beat a love service game.

Who's the asian lady always sitting in Feds box?

Djokovic serves out a hold in his opening match against Mayer.

Youzhny looking poor as expected against fed. Fed looking reasonable!

Federer breaks first game. You can all come out of hiding now...

Youzhni looks like the son of the russian commander in Rambo 3

How odd? How can a player look reasonable against an opponent looking poor?

took 5 break points but he broke him.

federers returning has improved loads..

Djoko broken 3:4. Go Mayer

Yes, it is called looking at the serve, movement , forehands and returns. I thought you knew that? Federer is looking good.

bogbrush wrote:Fed choosing to receive??!!

To loosen up the back?

Fed chose ends, I heard - Youzhny then chose to receive.

Well Federer looking workmanlike but far too hard to judge him as anything other than that considering how poor Youzny has looked.

Mayer surrenders his break very easily.

Fed's back.

Think I have seen enough to suggest that my prediction for an easy win for Federer today will be spot on. Youzny seems too slow around the court to trouble Roger.

Bar injury, Fed will wrap this in quick 3.

Its raining quite hard now.

LK just had a sneaky bet with a colleague.

I won't disclose details as it might jinx. I have a £10 punt on odds of 12-1 at the start of the tournament before the draw was made

CLOSE THE ROOF.

Mayer has a DHBH slice - unusual.

Very sunny in SW1, perhaps it'll blow over?

David Mercer knows everyone by the name in VIP boxes and their birthdays too. Top man.

Have they ever reopened the roof after closing it on CC?

The CC roof has been open from the start despite knowing it was gonna do this.

Play suspended on C1.

socal will go sheet!

Yeah, frustrating, isn't it.

Hope this wasn't in response to my question which was more of a trivial pursuit query.

Cover going off. No roof in place

Sun is out. Looking brightly summery.

No it is frustration at the organisers, they are so blinded by traditionalism that they arent thinking clearly. Rain is not their fault. Yes play outdoors but not when it is just gonna rain all day and turn into a farce!

But what would Wimbledon be without rain delays? It's tradition!

Can't wait for the US swing. People on here will be going into cardiac arrest. They don't have roofs there!

I hope it keeps raining and stopping. Let's make it a complete farce.

Fed gives us the point of the week.

Excellent start for Fed.

Mayer sniffing another break on the Djokovic serve.

Did anyone take me up on my offer of making money from putting money on Youz at 5-1?

Mayer with one BP left....

Is mayer trying to give Djok the set or what?

pathetic.

Youzhny is superseding Troicki's level!

Oh stop crying. Federer is playing brilliantly.

I want to see more of this "workmanlike" play from Fed!

Tell yourself that fanboy.

Oh and crying?

Put the roof on

Fanboys don't put other players as favourites for tournaments or give players their due. You are the fanboy. Time for foe. heh another.

Keep whinging that Fed is proving me right and you wrong. Also having rain delays affects both players, you idiot.

Except he didn't. Mayer threw 3 break points away (1 of which was a clear winner situation). Different situation and you know it.
