Looking ahead to today's match, Garcia's form generally suggests that if Laura reproduces Monday's form she will win, but Garcia has played better in the Slams this year than in other tournaments, so it will be tightish, but hopefully no more than that.

Secret weapon for Laura might be to put Andy in the friends and family box before the match.

After Andy's complimentary words about Ms Garcia 2 years ago, she may have foolishly admitted to having a soft spot for him to her French female tennis colleagues..........anyway my French source told me they now tend to make fun of her about it..............and one of Marion Bartoli's tweets at the Wimbledon Ball pretty much said exactly that.

Young people, eh!

This is the second grand slam in a row I have raced back from work for one of Laura's matches only for it to be suspended before they even start. Looks like a sensible decision not to start today as the rain looks set in for a while.

It looks as if play may be restarting.

At least Laura didn't have to warm up again between showers as she didn't even make it to the court before the current batch of rain. All very frustrating though and how the two young players cope will influence this match.

BBC Sport now reporting that Heather Watson's 2nd round match has been delayed because of rain.

Now that's just being silly. I mean it's Laura that's playing in R2, I recall after Laura's R1 win, BBC Sport themselves advised that she was through to a R2 meeting with Li Na.

Of course Li Na is already through.
Wouldn't surprise me to see it clash with Andy's match.

Croft and Rusedski on Sky were wondering how Laura would cope with playing a younger opponent ...

Yup.  But the "ticker" on the webpage is still saying "Heather Watson .................."

Maybe I should be a good natured soul and tweet them a message.

Or there again ... maybe not.

How frustrating for everyone.

Can't stay up much longer.

Good luck Laura!
