Can't get my head around how ridiculously easy Fed's draw has been to the semi-finals in both of the last two majors.

This faffing around must be unsettling for the players. I'm getting more nervous about Andy now. The windy and damp conditions certainly won't suit him. Even after the match gets started rain delays are likely, according to the BBC's lunchtime forecast, and Johnny Mac has just said it's started raining again - but play goes on. Bizarre.

Good point. :/ It is worrying how Andy often struggles unless conditions are perfect. If it's too early, too cold, too windy... |

Do you know I would actually prefer it if Andy plays tomorrow. These conditions are so tough to play in.

Hopefully the makers of Rescue Remedy have sent him a **** load of the product (how he was very nervous on Saturday) and he's that chilled he'll be fine  |

I don't think tomorrow's going to be much better, unfortunately. |

More likely to be on the centre court though, with possibly the roof closed? |

Very true, Bev - and I can't see Andy wanting the roof open. But then we don't know what clowns make these decisions. |

No but I think they've been in the beer tent.  |

Come on Lisicki wrap this up please...
You just know this match is going to go the same way as every other WTA match on before Andy with someone winning comfortably only for about ten-dozen breaks of serve before the other player wins on a tie-break.

Sharapova a set and 1-4 down on court 1, but she'll probably fight back and take it to a third set - seems to happen when we're waiting for a match to finish
