    No more live text today. But don't forget, play continute on Centre Court on this link and Today at Wimbledon is on at 20:30 BST on BBC Two.

    Goodbye! 

  2. Play: overpublished at 19:39 British Summer Time 29 June 2016

    That's it for the outside courts on day three. It's too wet, it's too dark, it's too yuck.

    Play will resume at 11:00 BST on Thursday. 

    We're still going on centre, though, thanks to the roof.

    Has the Madrid Open just offered Marcus Willis a wildcard?

    Hardy band of spectators on Court Three.    

    But elsewhere...

    'This is gross,' an Australian spectator groans as she heads for the exit in heavy rain

    I'd say any more play now, other than on Centre Court, is as big an outsider as Marcus Willis.

    Pironkova 2-6 Bencic

    Swiss Belinda Bencic wraps up the first set with ease against the world number 59 Tsvetana Pironkova.

    This could be over pretty quickly. The 19-year-old is bossing it.

    Covers are still down on the outside courts. With light drizzle continuing, the chances of the action resuming out here today are diminishing.

    Pironkova 2-5 Bencic

    Belinda Bencic holds to love in her service game, leaving Bulgarian Tsvetana Pironkova with it all to do.

    She saves a set point with a smash and as we hover on deuce-advantage-deuce advantage, Pironkova eventually holds to make the 19-year-old serve for the set.

    Federer beats British qualifier Willis

    Marcus Willis and his coach appear to be enjoying a well deserved post-match beverage...

  10. Postpublished at 19:07 British Summer Time 29 June 2016

    There's still no word from the Wimbledon organisers about if/when play will resume on the outside courts today.

    We've sent a (reluctant) roving reporter from the BBC commentary box to go and check out the rain situation. More news when we get it.

    Pironkova 1-4 Bencic*

    Bencic, who is 13th in the world rankings, reached the fourth round at Wimbledon last year.

    And she's got off to a blistering start in the first round this year.

    The Swiss earns three break points and an overhead smash sees her take the game, to move 4-1 up.

    Marcus Willis may have been beaten in straight sets, but he seems to have captured plenty of hearts with his attitude.

    Girlfriend Jennifer Bate blew him a kiss as he left Centre Court to a standing ovation.

    If you have made the trip to Wimbledon from outside the European Union, then your wallet has already taken enough of a pounding without the pesky UK taxman getting his mitts on more.

    The queue to claim back the Treasury's cut has been lengthy today. It could get even longer in the post-Brexit age.

    Pironkova 1-1 Bencic

    The weather outside may be frightful, but the Centre Court roof is so delightful. 

    As we've got no where to go...let ..erm....play continue.

    The first round match between Tsvetana Pironkova and Belinda Bencic is underway.

    World number 59 Pironkova had three break points early doors but Bencic has wrestled the game back off her to hold.

    This will be an opportunity for him to reinvest in himself. When you are post Wimbledon you will be looking to play abroad and see what opportunities there are. Hopefully he can get a good schedule, maintain the momentum and climb the rankings.

    Marcus' attitude has been absolutely fantastic. He has embraced every situation and thrived on it. 

    The interest that it has created has been absolutely massive and we need that at this time of the year. Having a homegrown hero like this for a couple of days at the championships can only be a good thing.

    This was his eighth match. Hopefully he will go away and decompress and soak up the last 10 or 12 days of action and then think about how he will move forward. He needs to improve his forehand but he needs to keep working at his strengths. He has a good leftie serve. He has a lot of challenges ahead but hopefully he will continue to embrace them.
