Tennis NewsSaturday, 05 July 2025 at 13:05
It has remained fairly rain free during Wimbledon so far with sweltering conditions over the drab scene that can sometimes inhabit the All England Lawn & Tennis Club but with inclement showers planned throughout today, it could be stop start on the outer courts.
Elena Rybakina was at 4-4 in her first set against Clara Tauson. While Belinda Bencic was also interrupted a set up against Elisabetta Cocciaretto, Daria Kasatkina was a set and a break down against Liudmila Samsonova.
Dayana Yastremska was also on the fight back against Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. Flavio Cobolli v Jakub Mensik was the only men's match that was in play. The Italian was 6-2, 1-0 up on his Czech opponent.
It has since been confirmed that there will be no play before 1:30pm BST (2:30pm) on the outside courts. Court One will start at 1pm with Mirra Andreeva v Hailey Baptiste. While Centre Court sees Jannik Sinner v Pedro Martinez open proceedings up.
But so far it is very much rain is the matter of the day and one that could play havoc with finalising the Last 16 line-up later today.
No play before 12:30pm (31 minutes) in #Wimbledon . Play suspended on outer courts.

- Sorry?? Like, sorry you're losing?? Finally we see the old Sabalenka returning to the courts. Her naive and sarcastic little post-match "speeches" have fooled the masses (and those with no memory of her true 'personality'). Her play and several fortunate occasions of attrition cannot last forever -- and they are not. You will not be able to walk back your ridiculous snottyass remarks we saw on live television. No Tik Tok dance with Amanda is going to fool anyone. I hope she remains true to herself, and hopefully ignores making any follow-up PHONY APOLOGIES. You said what you said, and acted like a Queen (which you are not). Saba will remain #1 in theory because he has a wide point spread. However many of us have watched the gradual weak play this season. Just enough to win in most cases. But the decline will subside at some point, and she will settle somewhere in the Top 10. Sorry -- NOT sorry.mandoist11-07-2025
- If players are suffering from anti-Social Media abuse -- it's their own fault. Avoid it. If it's the stress of the new endless road life due to back-to-back tourneys, totally understand. First the body reaches its limits -- then comes the mental complexities. Pro Tennis has become like the music business. Corporate (WTA & ATP) will "love" you at the same time they use you while they can, then chew you up and spit you out.mandoist08-07-2025

- Since this piece was written (or a day or two prior) the World Athletics, IOC, and World Boxing made genetic testing mandatory. TENNIS should follow suit. The immediate result was the refusal of the Algerian boxing medal winner to be tested or be refused access to a competition in the Netherlands. He refused the testing.mandoist01-07-2025
