From record breaking temperatures to a British norm: Play resumes after rain-hit morning at Wimbledon
ATP
The record breaking temperatures of the weekend in the UK led to Wimbledon having the hottest opening two days on record. But it was back to a British norm to begin Day Three, that was rain.
Albeit it was humid with temperatures still heading towards 20 degrees. This meant delays though to the outer court matches which were only started around half an hour ago.
Joao Fonseca v Jenson Brooksby was one of the first matches to get postponed in the early going. Nicolas Jarry v Learner Tien, Olga Danilovic v Madison Keys, Leylah Fernandez v Laura Siegemund too.
These games have now begun with only Brandon Nakashima's game from last night not restarted. Fonseca, Jarry are two players already a set up.
Aryna Sabalenka is already onto Centre Court as she is facing off against Marie Bouzkova. While Keys is a set up. Sonay Kartal is also on the verge of victory and is a set and a break up on Viktoriya Tomova.
With rain being only today, it shouldn't play havoc for the rest of the week currently unlike such tournaments as the French Open. But in reality it could lead to a long day ahead in London.
Play is about to start in #WIMBLEDON after 2 hours of rain delays. 5-10 mins if no rain.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026

Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA.

- Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.mandoist29-10-2026
