Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

The mixed doubles event begins on Friday, along with a good slate of doubles matches that might not all get to finish because the forecast, as the Brits put it, is “rather wet”.

Looks like full-bore rain until before start of play. And then somewhere between 50 and 60 percent chance of rain throughout the day and night.

So it’s going to be tricky – just as they got just about caught up, too.

In theory, there are five Canadians (or Canadian-ish) players on the sked. Let’s see.

(Wimbledon is 5 hours ahead of EDT)
