Given that there's a high chance of rain throughout today and tomorrow, it could all be moot - they might be squeezing everything into Friday at thus rate.

Very poor scheduling again. Tomorrow's forecast is for 100 per cent nearly all day. Likely therefore that the top seeds will not have played a single match before Friday. Should therfore have maximised the scheduled play today for when the forecast is significantly better instead of only having 4 singles on Centre and 3 on Court 1.

 Yes, doesn't seem great. I believe Laura Robson is still the tournament director?

It's a purely financial thing

We've been here, done it before

There's some daft argument that the corporate bods would be cross if the premium matches weren't scheduled for Thursday, say, as promised

Leaving aside, of course, the complete nonsense of the fact that they're not going to get played on Thursday anyway because of the weather

(which has been lovely all morning - you could have had all courts playing - but now is getting dark and there's got to be rain at some point this afternoon)

In spite of rain issues, there is just one singles mstch left for the Andy Murray Arena, due at 5.30 pm, after 3 pretty short matches: 6-2 6-2 then 6-1 6-3 then 6-2 3-4 retired. And the 3 scheduied doubles matches on Court 1 are done and dusted..

Good luck for tomorrow !

Mboko's slip looked worrying on the green grass and suspected knee injury cry

End of Serena's Queens dream too

Hope your day wasn't too messed up Sheddie and you got to see some good, albeit non GA, stuff

Looks like Bencic is out, so Harriet's down to play Rakhimova.

 And with a reasonable chance that not a single one will get on court
