Hi this is Billy Jean King this is Marion Bartotti this is Biancon Dresku I'm

Matt's Villander this is Mary Carrillo this is Pam Shriver this is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the

tennis podcast. Hello and welcome to the tennis podcast live from Wimbledon on day five of

the championships and more specifically live from our wet weather position at Wimbledon. I'm Kathy Middica. This is

Matt Roberts. This is David Law and you thought last night's crowd with

diehards. We actually have a crowd over there in the distance. They can't even see us recording

because just off there in the distance behind us that is our usual position and you can probably see the rain glistening off the

bench that we are usually sitting on because that just about sums up the day that

we've had here in Southwest London. It's incredible really that any play happened

on the outside courts.

I think more than most people expected did end up happening.

But courts one and two, or center court and court one were where it was at today

David for the fans and for the players that were scheduled there because it's it's

been a bit of a shocker for us all weird. Yeah I mean we kind of got away with it in terms of getting any play by the way the weather

forecasts looked.

I mean they certainly got sort of three, four hours of play on the outside courts albeit a couple of hours late but this is where the

roof on centre the roof on court number one really come into play and thank goodness for them because you know if you think

back all the years that you just sit in there doing nothing watching nothing people

are sat you know looking miserable on TV and under umbrellas in the rain

Not watching nothing nothing David watching Cliff Richard or watching Borg McInrow 1981 which is never wasted energy as far as I'm concerned.

But still, it's nice that those two show courts with 15,000 people are in each of them and millions around the world are getting to watch a full

day of tennis still.
