Week 25 - Wimbledon Qualifying

RJA · Hall of fame

Looking at those I would say Ed has a great chance simply because Munoz de la Nava was playing in the final of a clay court challenger only a few hours ago. Decent draw for Evo and Milts while Bloomers is certainly capable of causing an upset. Rotten draws for Gabb and Cox and so so for Ward.

Yes, no Marcus, not unreasonable though having not made a sufficient case for an initial WC nor then produced in the play-offs.

Pity though because I like the guy and I agree with many that he has the tools to be much better ranked.

All the best, guys !

Considering Evo's opponent is 34, and Milts' opponent is very nearly 36, and Ed's opponent is 33, dear ol' Bloomers looks like a spring chicken

Good luck, guys.

(NB We've got 7 entrants in the Qs this year, but only had 8 last year, so that bit is pretty much the same...)

Extremely heavy rain in SW London last night, I can't imagine there is much chance of them starting on time, even with the protection of covers . It is still drizzling and showing no signs of stopping. I've looked at Wimbledon.com but can't find any mention of delayed start times. Does anyone know better?

I've never been when it was raining.

Don't think they have any covers (can't remember seeing any but that's possibly because the weather was OK and so they hadn't put them out). Can't imagine they have covers for all the courts though.

I think calling would be best, if there's nothing on the website.

I can't go this morning (and don't know about later in the afternoon, not certain, so am going to wait and see from the scores if they get going).

Sunny at the mo ... and yes courts are covered, but usually takes an hour or two for overnight condensation/dew to dry off once they are removed.

Am in a cafe about 3 miles away 'working' and hoping to slope off to Roehampton about lunchtime but feels like it's about to rain now - definitely a bit of moisture in the air.

Yeah I'm about 6 miles away in Twickenham and its raining here. Think I'll leave till it stops/brightens up before making a move. Do they ever move them indoors to the NTC?

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

I'm in Teddington - steady rain at the moment. Re. moving inside, I'm not sure - it would be problematic as there are so many matches to play and only a handful of indoor courts. They have time in hand though - it isn't really a problem if there are some matches played as late as the weekend.

Madadman · Masters Series Champion

Post on the Wimbledon Twitter says start of play is now due at 11:30.

Josh · Challenger level

Just a steady light drizzle at the moment, they've got covers on the courts and announced no play before 12.

7Km to the South west of Roehampton, there is steady rain.....

RJA · Hall of fame

Still raining but it looks much better where the weather is coming from. Probably no more than 30 mins of rain.

It's stopped raining
