Wimbledon and rain...

...go together like strawberries and cream.
This certainly seemed true yesterday.
We had tickets for court 2, to watch Martina Hingis amongst other people. However as we drove up from my grandmas spots of rain began falling on the windscrean. We arrived and the rain seemed to stop, so we went to get a drink and then to find out seats. the covers were taken of and the referee do a tour of the courts seeing if they were ok. After several announcement play started at 1.00. An hour after it was supposed to begin. The game was beginning to look very exciting, although the first set went to hingis, and then it started to rain. An announcement was given saying that the rain was expected to last 1 to 2 hours, and that hopefully play would resume shortly. However the rain seemed only to get worse! Updates were given about every hour, and each time they said that the rain was due to stop soon. However after about 4 cups of coffee (well for my grandma) and at 7.30 they decided that the rain was not going to clear enough for the courts to dry before it was dark. As we were leaving the car park, the rain stopped completely and the sky began to clear!!!
So in the 2 times that I have been to Wimdledon I've seen a grand total of 1 hour tennis. I'll now just have to watch it on TV, at least if it rains I'll actually have other things to do than just sit around!!!!
