What do you do during a Wimbledon weather delay? Sing, of course. No, not Cliff, he’s a Half Man Half Biscuit. After me … “Who is afraid … Virginia Wade”. Updated on 12.01 BST Unlike us (whooping cough), Wimbledon’s official Twitter page fights for content over time. Updated at 11.57 BST Some news for Andy Murray. A reminder that it is the delayed match at Center Court today and has a record of 8-0 matches against his opponent, John Isner. Weather update: Not to be played before 12 p.m. That’s about 15 minutes, almost enough time to watch Borg v McEnroe tie-break since 1980. Emma Raducanu is back in action at Center Court today. Tumaini Carayol looks forward to her meeting with Caroline Garcia, who follows Novak Djokovic in the second round against Thanasi Kokkinakis. The BBC is now showing the highlights, so we will return to the sports themed melodies. How about a top 40. Steven Pye is the man for the job. By the way, Wimbledon is only 10th! I love a pointless statistic, but I never know how to process it about the amount of strawberries it would take to fill the Center Court. What do you do with this information? I do not tend to say “wow” or question the number involved. I have no answer. Nothing. A gap inside. Aside from my existential strawberry agony (good name for a ’60s psychic band), what would you say about it: Andy Murray’s current opponent, John Isner, dropped 54 aces in his opening match. This leaves him just 40 less than the all-time ace record of Ivo Karlovic in the ATP Tour of … 13,728. This is worth a “wow”. Weather update: The covers are closed, although it still looks a bit cloudy. We’re talking about a game maybe, a bit, maybe starting in about 25 minutes. Well 11.45 a.m. Probably. Updated at 11.51 BST Andy Murray and Serena Williams made headlines at Wimbledon, but what about their brothers? Well, it emerged yesterday afternoon that Venus Williams and Jamie Murray will be joining the mixed doubles.

The rain delays begin

Ah, no game until 11.30 at the earliest, according to official reports. There is no excuse not to see more Keith Mansfield songs in the meantime. This is nice. Updated on 11.06 BST That was the time a little earlier. There is talk of removing the covers, but perhaps restoring them as the drizzle levels diverge. The umbrellas have opened at Wimbledon, although the BBC’s Carol Kirkwood says the clouds will break and there is only a 5% chance of rain as we spend the afternoon. It is still raining now though. Weak winds, sunshine and temperatures around 22 degrees are expected, although ominous clouds may return later. BBC coverage begins, so let’s listen to one of Keith Mansfield’s best songs: Wimbledon theme song, “Light and Tuneful”. Keith there looks like he just got a Borg set. Keith Mansfield. Some further reading here, while Tom Little’s version of the Grandstand theme is always worth a look. Here is the turn of the game in the main stadiums today. The game is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. on the outdoor courts. All times are BST. Central Court – 13,301. Novak Djokovic v Thansi Kokkinakis2. Caroline Garcia in Emma Raducan3.

Rafael Nadal is in the second half and was pressed in his first game against Francisco Serudolo yesterday. says Greg Wood. Nick Kyrgios went through a five-set thriller against Britain’s Paul Jubb yesterday, but, once again, he was not without controversy. The Australian is clearly a fan of, say, punk. Hopefully Sean Ingle didn’t get in the way. Updated at 10.35 BST The nine Britons who made it to the second round are the most since 1997. And it could still be 10. Trying to keep track of them all was a lot of work, as Simon Cambers explains. Let’s take a closer look at this classic Serena Williams v Harmony Tan through our Wimbledon man, Tumaini Carayol.

Preamble

Sometimes a Grand Slam can take several days to reach boiling point. But not this. After plenty of live action on the first day, the Wimbledon crowds embraced a bona fide classic last night when Serena Williams lost to No. 115 in the world Harmony Tan. Serena served for the match and led 4-0 in the decisive tiebreak, but could not shake off her opponent. This thriller of the Court Center ended less than 12 hours ago, but now we are looking forward to another day with oh, aaa and oh say. Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu return to Center Court today and both face tough second-round bouts with John Isner and Caroline Garcia respectively. There is more British interest in Court One with No. 1 men Cam Norrie facing Spaniard Jaume Munar while Heather Watson returning quickly. She beat Tamara Korpatsch yesterday and is making her bid to reach the third round for the first time since 2017 against Wang Qiang of China in Court Two. Ryan Peniston fights with American Steve Johnson in Court Three, while Harriet Dart plays a match with a delay in the first round against the Spaniard Rebeka Masarova. Defending men’s champion Novak Djokovic opens the action of the Central Court against Thanasis Kokkinakis at 1.30 pm, but there is plenty of action (from 11 am) that must follow on the pitch until then. Sounds good; Okay, let’s play…
