Wimbledon 2013.

[magimedi]

I am so excited!

DH takes over all catering for this fortnight (he does it at other times too) so I can plump my cushions, grab the handchange & get watching.

I'd like to be saying who I was putting my money on to win - but I really can't decide between Rafa, Federer Djokovitch & Murray.

I'd just say that it will be one of them and, sadly, I'd put Andy in last place.

Two weeks of tennis coming up!!

Bring it on. (pimms) &

I think Delpo could be a real contender.

Uh oh. Just woken up from a nap and the radar has gone bonkers. I fear we are not going to get away without rain and earlier than expected.

Aargh mn playing up for me.

Rain might be here as early as 5pm.

Just in time for Ferrer,probably

:(

Is it raining? I've just got back in, and one channel is showing covers on centre, another court has everyone with brollies- watching Dinitrov- the rainwon't help the slipping

Zemlja is putting up a good fight against Dimitrov. Heavens, at this rate, we'll lose the old guard and the new up-and-comers all in the first week!

oYBBK - spot on with the forecast!

Was v light rain but becoming a little heavier. Plenty of rain to come though so I expect more will have to stop.

It's about 15 minutes earlier than I thought

Good decision Dimitrov! I wouldn't risk playing if rain makes it more slippery...

Yes Raahh, everyone will go, leaving the way open for you and me in our new incarnations as tennis players

15 mins earlier! You're sacked!

Closing the roof apparently.

Mn is v. Slow for me atm.

Is weather forecasting a hobby oYBBK, or what you do for a living?

Farley- I like your thinking

I'm not sure I'm taller than the net though

Don't understand why they didn't decide to close the roof earlier.

magi- I think it's because it takes solong, and it seemed like light drizzle. But it persisted. Once the roof is on, they won't be opening it again, I guess.

Well that's fine raahh cos I can't hit the ball for love nor money, we're only going to pretend whilst we access our fave players!

Ooh gasquet is through. I like him. If it can't be andy I want it to be him or ferrer

Oh I wish dh and ds2 would go away! I like watching tennis on my own!

They must have known heavier rain was coming - the radar was a bit bloody obvious!

Farley, Tis purely a hobby :) still learning all the time!

But aren't the rules of the roof that they can only close it once the rain comes?

Rafa and Federer out so Murray def in with a chance - love Wimbledon, sadly no luck with tickets this year...
