This is a total furore over nothing on twitter. The fans are here to see Murray vs Tsonga ffs, course that match takes precedence.

centre court ticket holders can still go watch Hewitt-Cilic if they want to, don't they? There won't be that much capacity needed with Murray-Tsonga on at the same time.

Birmingham sucks. Players have to hold their umbrellas all by themselves. Never seen that before


I think the players took them from their own accords because the people holding them were doing a bad job.

Birmingham are messing about so much. Spend 10 minutes whilst it's not raining wondering whether it's going to rain or not, instead of playing.

It's raining at Queens again I think too. They should just give the titles to Vekic and Murray and move on to next week.

Not sure why the players play at Queens anyway. They pay more tax, theres a much easier and less interrupted tournament in Germany and there are other tournaments again next week.

What I would say annoys me the most about tournaments in this country is the apparent indecision. They covers come off just after 5pm at Queens, but Murray and Tsonga weren't ready because they just got told then. That decision should have been made hours ago, it was obvious hours ago that there wouldn't be time for 2 matches today.

Most annoying at Wimbledon is when it's raining, they take 45 minutes to decide to shut the roof, then it takes 45 minutes for the roof to shut and the conditions to be playable.

It's one thing to have a solid day of rain; shut it down, no harm, no foul. It's the endless waiting, umbrellas up-and-down, and covers on-and-off, players warming up and stopping that is so frustrating.

Bigger draw for more lower ranked players to get in. Plus lower expenses. Plus most players aren't affected by that tax pretty much at all. Also Halle spunk a lot of money on Fed and Nadal, probably don't have much left for the rest.

relatively weaker field too

guess it depends how much £££ the likes of Berdych, Delpo, Tsonga got in appearance fees

What I don't like is that the media try to shove Andy Murray at us here there and everywhere, which makes us like him even less than we probably would otherwise.

In terms of planning though Wimbledon are one of the biggest donkeys in tennis. Wimbledon are so behind in their way of thinking. They always react to rain very late, even though it's normally obvious it's coming. Stupid Sunday of no play etc. (something I absolutely hate).

Wimbledon is a tournament run by toffs, who got where they are because of privilege not brains.

Why would someone like a player less just because some unrelated media covers him a lot? Mainland europe doesn't dislike Radwanska either despite Eurosport showing her at every opportunity.

Lisicki complaining has even made Sky Sports News lol. Is it really that news worthy? Sounds a non-event to me.
