Image source, BBC SportLook! Tennis players!! John Isner and Matthew Barton emerge on to the Court 18 stage to a reception usually afforded to rock stars. Let's hope they produce a decent set-list. Big hits only please lads, none of those duff slower numbers that nobody likes.

I say this tentatively...but I think the rain has passed.
Dustin Brown and Nick Kyrgios are out on Court Two and are about to resume play.
You can watch these two cheeky chaps on this link.
And Venus Williams is back out on Court One...again.

*Del Potro 3-6 6-3 5-6 Wawrinka
They may be the only players able to actually play at the moment, but Stan Wawrinka and Juan Martin del Potro are not going anywhere fast.
It's going with serve on Centre Court in the third set. Looks like we could be heading to a tie-break.

'Allo 'Allo what's all this then?
Just the queue for People's Sunday back in 2004.
This was the last time matches were played on Wimbledon's 'day off' because of the pesky rain.
Were Union Jack shellsuit jackets ever a good idea?

Image source, BBC SportThis is becoming farcical. The Wimbledon weather is changing more often than David Beckham's hairstyle.
Those fans patiently waiting on Court 18 cheered when the sun came out about 10 minutes ago.
Now they're groaning. Blobs of rain drop onto their crowns, forcing them to pop those brollies. Again.
Come on Mother Nature, stop having a hissy fit and make your mind up.

The rain may be wreaking havoc with the match on Court One, but when there has been play Venus Williams is in control.

John McEnroe
Three-time Wimbledon singles champions on BBC TVQuote MessageThis is a critical third set. Del Potro has not played a Grand Slam in two and a half years and his five-set record throughout his career is won four, lost nine. Wawrinka is certainly the fitter man at the moment.

Del Potro 3-6 6-3 3-4 Wawrinka
James Taylor: If Del Potro beats Wawrinka and Brown beats Kyrgios, the draw would seriously open up on Murray's side.
Chris Goldsmith: Tension building on Centre Court..... neither player can hold.
Sypher: I reckon this might be a five-setter. If #delpo, external can stay fit, we'll be seeing this tie regularly #wawrinka, external

Del Potro 3-6 6-3 3-4 Wawrinka
Stan Wawrinka always has a stern, almost concerned look on his face.
But the Swiss fourth seed has just had a little giggle with the people on Centre Court.
He challenges a Juan Martin del Potro serve..but it's miles within the box.
Wawrinka laughs to himself as Del Potro looks on in bewilderment. Stan realises his mistake, and suggests he may need some new glasses.

*V.Williams 5-1 Kasatkina
The players were back out for two games, Venus Williams won both of them, but now the rain has returned and the players are back in the locker room.
It's the tennis hokey cokey.

The BBC's sports news correspondent David Ornstein is reporting that Wimbledon organisers are considering playing matches on middle Sunday this year because of the constant weather disruptions. This hasn't happened since 2004, remember.
We'll keep you updated.

Del Potro 3-6 6-3 2-2 Wawrinka*
No one wants to hold serve on Centre Court, it seems.
Two breaks each takes Stan Wawrinka and Juan Martin del Potro to 2-2 in the third set.
Madness.

Venus Williams and Daria Kasatkina are back on and in play, with Williams leading 5-1.
