I always use a tournament's local time, but now that you ask the question it occurs to me I don't state that anywhere. Thanks for pointing out the problem.

I adjusted the schedule to include this:

"The full schedule for Day 6 is listed below (results to follow). All times are local."

Do you think that's clear? Or does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks.

Thank you my dear.

Not a problem...as a Serena fan I will have to be up early again for her match.

I posted this before, but the site is so useful that I do it again. You can change all match start times to your own time zone and sort a few different ways.

Since court assignment has been mentioned a few times recently, I want to point out that Serena will play on Court 1, not Centre Court. Only one of her three matches has been on Centre Court, yet she is by far the most successful woman there, including having won Wimbledon five times.

Here are my list of juicy matches:
Ana Ivanovic (SRB) (11) v Sabine Lisicki (GER) (19)
Eugenie Bouchard (CAN) (13) v Andrea Petkovic (GER) (20)
Madison Keys (USA) v Yaroslava Shvedova (KAZ)

One has to walk all the way to court 17 to catch that last match.

You can always do a simple trick when you forget.
Search Google for "London time", it will show up on top of the webpage, then count the difference from your time now.
Same applies for "Beijing time", "Paris time", etc

Eugenie Bouchard (CAN) (13) v Andrea Petkovic (GER) (20)

Thats a good early start of the day at 11.30 am local time. A good schedule for a change.

For a change there is a logic behind it. Serena plays the doubles later, so they give her two matches gap to rest in between her matches. She must play first match and last(fourth) match of the day. They had to choose between her and Rafa first match on center court, not between her and Maria.

Simo sent again to the court 2 graveyard but I cant complain this time. She plays the second match there and she got a better court than Genie. Blondes not always having it their way

Is it possible it's better for her to remain under the radar? Less pressure, less exposure, etc. (I have no idea, which is why I ask. I'm not trying to imply anything.)

Imo, its not the case anymore! She needs as much exposure as possible to make her practice these situations and not be overwhelmed by them. She cant avoid the kitchen heat anymore if she wants to play in grand slams.
She is no.3 so she is in center of attention anyway.

Weather looks bad today. Good news is that no rain predicted in the next 4 days. No clouds on Wednesday!

The government has a weather webpage specific for the tennis club area

The poor guys on Halep hill are all soaking wet should be better in next 2 hours.
Rafa giving them some fun by losing 1st set

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Only Centre court is hosting play, rain still suspending all other courts.

Rafa just finished in 4 and Masha is next on the card.

Serena still waits.
