    Why didn't they start with the roof closed? Imbeciles!

    She'd give something a rub down...

    Playing everywhere else but Centre. Chance for Saint Roger to get treatment

    Watching Youzhny online seeing as the BBC don't seem to want to cover Court 18 on the red button- didn't they used to have cameras on all the TV courts on the red button?

    Learning lots of Russian swearwords from my fave tennis mentalist

    Serena just about gets through another round, wonder how far she can go. She doesn't look very convincing but experience may bring her through

    Thought it was a great match, TBH, good shot-making on key points from both.

    There was an inevitability to it.

    At least they toughed out the fairy rain and didn't go running indoors. They've not even bothered with the covers on court 1.

    Schiavone is absolutely repulsive. The sounds she makes are scary.

    They stopped the play because they think it'll rain or showering yet these idiots officials won't close the roof already so that we get a non-stop play from here on.:rolleyes:

    Repulsive is a bit harsh. Annoying yes. But that one that played Lisiki last week took not just the biscuit but the whole picnic hamper. You wouldn't want to live next door to her

    That's why I've switched to something less gruesome until her match is over

    Currently watching "Seconds From Disaster" on NatGeo

    I like her. Her noises don't annoy me anywhere near as much as Sharapova. The Schiavone/Kvitova match is excellent.

    I'm surprised. I actually wouldn't have been shocked if Shvedova won because she has been playing terricfly and Serena hasn't been playing as well as we know she can. Shvedova gave her a tough match today but sadly gifted her the break at the end with the two consecutive double faults. Good tournament for Slava though, hopefully we'll see her back up the rankings.

    I was looking forward to the thought of a Serena-Petra quarter-final, but really, the way Petra has been playing today, if she does win, I can't see her being able to beat Serena. This is what's infuriating about watching Petra play, some tournaments she is on fire and others she struggles to get through.

    Is it me or are the Beeb showing the same match on both channels?

    Play's not stopped at all on 18. They're just getting on with it
