Adam Moulder blogs from Wimbledon as the Olympics Tennis event takes place featuring eight members of Team GB...
Day 2 - At least we have a roof
Yesterday the tennis kicked off under sunny blue skies at Wimbledon. Today this was not the case. A long day of rain at the All England Lawn Tennis Club meant only the matches on Centre Court, and a handful of others, were able to be completed.
Thanks to the roof Centre Court eased through its schedule which included British No.1 Andy Murray, and he didn't disappoint the British fans as he came through in straight sets over Swiss No.2 Stanislas Wawrinka.
Not quite so much fun for the fans who didn't have Centre Court tickets on Sunday but that meant more people made it down to the 'Play Tennis Zone' behind court 12, including a couple of celebs.
Gethin Jones was all over the fastest serve machine, clocking a couple well over 100mph. Pretty impressive for a Blue Peter presenter! However he didn't look best pleased when he lost to this lady on the Mini Tennis court. Still her racket was enormous!
The sun did come out to allow a few matches on the outside courts to be completed at the end of the day but Team GB fans will have to wait until Monday to see more of each of the four British women involved in the Olympics.
Here's one of those four women. See if you can work out who it is casually strolling around the grounds in her Team GB kit. I'll give you a clue; she's already into singles round two!
Until tomorrow...
