They are waiting for a few remaining NFL matches to be over. :cover

Match will not start before 4.30.

They should publish in the schedule.

After Colts vs. Bills (Not before 4.30) Roger vs. Novak.

Doh. Bad start to the week at work so. Guess the match will be 3 hours long or thereabouts so late night here :s Hopefully much shorter than that!

Just casted my vote for Nole in 5. Usually I am wrong so I hope he wins in 3 or 4;)

Espn said more like 20-30 minutes 10 minutes ago.

I don't get why they don't cover the court during the rain, making it quicker to dry them off...

It's a 17 - 10 vote so far on the forum favoring Novak. Bookies say 5/6 Novak, 6/5 Roger. It's going to be tight.

Weatherconditions favoring Novak I think. Heavier balls, the old man's back not liking colder moist conditions.

Because that would prevent the sub-sport of tennis bumper cars.

Now they're saying not before 5:00 PM

That sucks. 11pm here so. If that's the case I won't even watch it :( Would be awake till 2:30am minimum and my wife's getting up at 4:20am. Eventhough I won't be getting up till 6:40am I never manage to fall back to sleep for long when she has early starts. :nono

Edit: sorry, that's 10pm here. Either way, it's a late start. Will be lucky to get 3 hrs sleep I guess.

I wouldn't mind such a scoreline at all. :)

Federer has so far always had match points against Novak here though. Let's hope we can avoid that this time. ;)

Well they are drying the courts, so there couldn't really start much earlier...

they could put around 600 guinea pigs on the court,

and as they wander around the soft fur and body heat would help dry up the court.

Guinea pigs on court? What an odd idea...

Everyone knows Venezuelan Castors are much more appropriate to do that... even badgers would be better.

Not to be confused with Cuban Castros.

Old mans back will have some problems in wet, cold weather. He might have serious health issues if play 5 sets on this.
