Ali Gray in there and feels like a strong all round draw.

Looks like they will play the mens matches first in 2 rounds on 4 courts, then the women will play their matches similarly - so 4 rounds of tennis tomorrow.

Presumably mens QF and then womens QF on Friday and then mens semis and womens semis to follow later on Friday?

The way the OOP is set suggests Court 16 is effectively the main show court. Would there be a show court or is the play being streamed in some way and thats the selected court?

I thought they played all the matches on what are normally the practice courts. I don't think there is a show court as such. The matches haven't been streamed before and it is usually impossible to get the results until later in the day unless anyone has inside information.

 Im sure youre correct but looking at the order of play, court 16 certainly feels like a main court, the top mens players and most well known ladies are on this court

There are 20 practice courts at Wimbledon, but the published maps don't show the numbering. Courts 16-20 are most likely to be the ones furthest from the main complex as they won't want the prime practice courts to get worn out before the main event.

 Ah, just realised these are at Wimbledon, not Roehampton? Have changed the title of the thread to Wimbledon now!

 Amazed and so pleased to see Alastair Gray's name there

It's like Katie Swan

Both of them suddenly reappearing 

Ali G has been gone SO long after suddenly doing so well

He's very much the previous Jake Fearnley or whotever

No idea where his tennis is at but very happy to see him back on court (and presumably from a PR ranking?)

Yes, good to see Ali G again.

I don't know if he has a PR but he still has a normal WR 621 which is good enough to get into these play-offs on ranking
