The rain delays start at Wimbledon

The game will now be postponed until at least 12.15 pm after a series of light rains that wet Wimbledon and crushed the many courts, which were optimistically removed from the cover after the heaviest downpour ended around 11 am.

To position myself on Court 3 this morning, where there is no shelter from the rain, was a serious mistake.

As PA explains, the Wimbledon hawk coach revealed that he was told to “get a suitable job” in the early years of his already extremely successful profession. Wayne Davis of Corby in Northamptonshire trained hawks – Hamish and later Rufus – to clear pigeons from the All England Club in south-west London for 22 years.

Iga Svyatek wins again, but is not considered the level of the Williams sisters

World number one Iga Sviatek knows he still can’t be compared to Serena or Venus Williams, although he won his 36th straight game to set a new record.

Swiatek’s 6-0 6-3 victory over Jana Fett on the central court extended her winning streak, which began in February, making it the longest winning streak of the 21st century, ahead of Venus Williams’ 2000 record. .

The 21-year-old, who is already a two-time French Open champion and a hot favorite for the SW19 crown, is certainly set for bigger things, but insists she is not yet at the level of the Williams sisters.
