It's raining at Wimbledon! I tuned in to the first day of Wimbledon (ESPN2) and found them broadcasting last year's men's final. It just wouldn't be Wimbledon without rain. Sometimes the rain delays are fairly brief, but they say this one has been two hours already, with another hour predicted.
The one time I saw it in person, there was one day that was totally rained out. We sat under umbrellas for hours hoping, but it never stopped. That is very unusual though.
They were able to get some play in before the rain started today. It was odd looking at the highlights, with the grass all green and pristine. Soon there will be brown areas, especially at the baseline. It's a shame that there aren't more grass court tournaments (the game's real name is "lawn tennis"), but I guess it's just too expensive to maintain the courts.
