A few pics from Wimby day 3
(Preview)
Here are just a few pics and comments from the four main matches I saw on Wednesday before it got too dark to think about taking any more photos, since if I don't do anything with them now, I probably never will. I still have a blog from day 2 at Queen's to do too, but that'll have to wait until we have a lean per...

Boggo is the first Brit male to enter the lists in SW19: his match against Simone Bolelli is the second on Court 11 tomorrow. No head-to-head, as they've never played one another before. Fingers crossed & hard...!

Where's it gone? I've browsed round and seen there is a thread on the Andy Murray section, but can we not keep a thread in the Men's section as there may be people like me who sort of anti-Murray and tend to just view the Men's and Women's section of the forum?
