Schmiedlova who has literally done nothing all year after that huge breakout in 2015, upsets Vinci to claim her 5th win in the whole of 2016!

The Williams sisters hate it when a player gives them no pace.

How they've ended up at 5-5 I will never know. Especially as Venus was 4-1 up at one point.

Well played Flipkens. Venus blew so many chances.

Can't believe Venus lost that!
Well done to Flipkins though. I like her too.

And this is why we need more courts with streams! JJ having an epic meltdown in the doubles.
Hev and Jo blitz through JJ & Krunic, 6-2 6-1.I've since figured out that BBC has online access to CC and Court 1, whilst Court 3 can be viewed via underhand methods. Bouchard through in straights against Sloane. Not bad considering Genie was up until 2am after the opening ceremony, binging on pizza. ![]() Surprised at Radwanska's loss, was really hoping she'd do well here considering she'll likely never win a slam. |

Im surprised nobody mentioned the ridiculous decision by Alves to replay that point in the third set after Flipkens stopped play.
I really question how she keeps the job sometimes, she's lucky Venus didn't even bother to contest it. |

Seems like tennis is starting at 8.15 pm on BBC Olympics 1. This can't be right can it? It means they won't be showing Andy's match on TV or Konta's

There's a stream at the moment for court 1 but it says "competition delayed due to the weather".
The weather. In Rio. Who knew. Side note the arena for that court doesn't appear to be fully built there's scaffolding everywhere and what looks like.bits of wall missing ..... the rowing's been cancelled because it's so windy the boats were sinking in an attempted warm up

It's windy here too - the wind keeps knocking out my internet and TV

I think of the other side of the world as being... well... the other side of the world but it's like we're all joined up. Maybe Rio ordered the wind to make sure their opening ceremony sustainability message gets across. ![]() Dreddy is wearing the same sponsor as Andy. But not the same top and hat.

I can't get my head around the fact that it's windy here (London). And I read on the BBC website that it's seriously windy in Scotland. And it's also windy in Rio.

I uspect Thor and his mighty hammer is a squash fan

The wind's horrendous where I am too. Have to keep checking the fence panels as they were ruined last year. Planned on building a close boarded fence this month and then my OH has just been made redundant so that's the fence being fixed a lower priority.

My aunt lives in Port Huron in America and i am in the north of england (not far from Hadrian's Wall), her weather usually arrives at my house 3-5 days after she has it, especially storms and snow!
