Tim_2

After yesterday's rain delays, I'm pleased to report that where I live, a few miles away from Wimbledon, right now the sun is shining outside. The hope (according to the weather forecast) is that any interruptions to today's play should be confined to light showers.

I'll be in SW19 myself today, on Centre Court, where I'll see the conclusion of the match between Tim Henman and Carlos Moya, interrupted by bad light yesterday after Tim had come back from 2-4 and 15-40 down in the final set, and held, then lost, four match points. One experience that's definitely worth having as a tennis fan is being in the midst of a Centre Court crowd going wild in support of Tim Henman - balanced, as always, on a knife-edge. I don't know how many more chances we'll have to see Tim at Wimbledon. He says he'll keep on playing, but his results this year, after coming back from injury, have been disappointing so far, and I can't help wondering what this means for his future as a player. To me at least, after all he's given to the tournament over the years, it would seem fitting if he could find some form here at Wimbledon and win some matches (even if it means temporarily interrupting the Year of Carlos).

The rest of today's Order of Play can be found here. Let's hope we get more play today than we did yesterday. -- Rosangel
