WIMBLEDON – The withdrawal of Rafael Nadal from his scheduled semifinal against Nick Kyrgios definitely threw the Centre Court schedule into a frenzy.

Finally, after 9:30 p.m., it was decided that the two women’s doubles semifinals would be the cookies, and Novak Djokovic v Cam Norrie the filling, on the Centre Court schedule.

Which didn’t make it much of a consolation for No. 1 Court ticketholders.

Meanwhile, it was another day of double duty for 15-year-old Canadian Victoria Mboko, who was in the girls’ singles and doubles semifinals and advance to the doubles final.
