Marion's match should start somewhere between 3pm and 5pm UK time (barring unforseen circumstances such as a player retirement)

Either way the likelihood of Marion's match being switched again is very low. But the weather could be a factor tomorrow. Chance of some thundery downpours. 8|

You may have noticed that something is missing this week, no match previews. Sorry, but i've temporarily suspended them as i'm just too pushed for time. Queue takes 4 hours. Travelling to and from Wimbledon takes one hour, each direction.

Visiting Wimbledon is a very British experience. The Queue may be an anachronism, or an inconvenience (if you get my drift), but when you come to SWI9 it is with a stoical even cheerful preparedness, you know what's in store.. and to be honest i'm quite glad for it. Because in the corporate freebie age, I imagine even ground tickets would otherwise become like gold dust and be too cost prohibitive for a wee Susan Boyle type person from Scotland... |-| (ok.. maybe not.. but you get my point). :yes:

I haven't been to Wimbledon on the days when Marion is not playing, for various reason. Partly it gives me the chance to do the match report and edit the photos. Hopefully I can try get reports up on the blog on the evening of the match as normal from now on, instead of the morning after. (Had so little sleep that I fell asleep doing round 2's match report! :zz:

Feel free to give your thoughts on the match ahead. :yes:
