Andy & Serena play tomorrow not before 5.30pm, court to be arranged 1 ...... OOP ... https://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/scores/schedule/index.html

[JAMES4578]

Think more likely Andy/Serena will be on centre, 2 Men's singles on court 1.

[JennieF]

Finding it hard to contain my excitement about this match! Jumping up and down when Andy paired up with Feli, and then again when he paired up with Pierre, but this . . . This will be amazing! :swingin:

[Naomi]

This should be great to see!!

The world premiere of Andy Murray and Serena Williams has been pushed back until tomorrow.
Both will do a double shift, with Serena first playing Julia Goerges in singles and Murray teaming up with Pierre Hugues Herbert

[anor]

Andy & Serena's match delayed until tomorrow.:sad:

[JAMES4578]

Surely they could have closed the roof, Must mean Men's Doubles will be on outside court.

Andy's men's dubs 2nd on Ct 2

It's because Serena is scheduled to play her singles first on Court 1 tomorrow and they couldn't risk a very late finish for her. Coco v Polona could go another half hour the way they're playing ... and Mixed Doubles, whilst only best of 3 could take 1.5-2hrs.

I think it's because Serena's singles is first match tomorrow so not fair to have her playing late tonight.
Edit- Sally is so much quicker than me!!

[exislander]

So he could potentially play 8 sets tomorrow!

[david1610]

Well, he should have Feli's phone number! ;)

[Rosalind]

Thanks to all for the updates. Couldn't get any info from the BBC

[Speedy Hawk]

When Andy mixed doubles playing tomorrow cos bottom TBA says 2nd round but he haven’t play 1st round yet??? Confusing.

Edit: it seem was Wimbledon mistake cos they correct it now. 1st round.

[Naomi]

Currently planning to go to Wimbledon on Tuesday - before I get too excited, have I worked it out right that Andy's next match(es) after tomorrow will be Tuesday?!

Yep, the OOP has changed. The likelihood is whichever of Centre Court or Court One becomes free first after the singles that are scheduled on them.

If he keeps winning, he'll play pretty much every day, I would guess.

[Naomi]

OK cool thanks, I guess I'll be watching the scores/order of play like a hawk while I'm there to see which court to aim for!

[Naomi]

Here they are! So cool to see them together!

[Speedy Hawk]

Good start and keep it up.

[JAMES4578]

Good start, though miss chances for double break.

[Jan]

Have Dan on the TV and Andy on my phone.

[JAMES4578]

It's Andy/Serena on TV for me, could have seen Dan on Ipad but decided to record.

[Speedy Hawk]

Andy/Williams on TV for me and Dan on computer BBC iPlayer.

[JAMES4578]

Andy serves the first out 6-4 in partnership with Serena. The early break was important but conversion rate was only 10%. Get similar start in the 2nd though!

Lol they did 2nd set start.

[JAMES4578]

No let up in the 2nd, at 3-0 surely Andy/Serena well on their way! Had to save three bps but were strong in the crunch.

[Speedy Hawk]

They managed hold on double break. Almost lost it.

[lynne]

Well I enjoyed watching Andy & Serena & I think they both enjoyed playing, some good shots from Andy...good result, happy for us & for Andy!!!! Yea!...Let's Go Folks!!!:thumbup:

[david1610]

Well done Andy and Serena! :)

[JAMES4578]

A comrehensive 2nd set with a breadstick, Andy/Serena looked good together-well done! :cheer: Some exciting play in their first match- next up 14th seeds Martin/Atawo who had a Bye as seeded pair.

[Speedy Hawk]

Glad Andy somehow get in 2nd week. Lol. Look forward their 2nd round next.

[lovetennis]

Lovely to know Andy is in the 2nd week. I think SerAndy could go deep into this tournament :strawberry:

[Alis]

Well done Serandy!!

[Rosalind]

It was really enjoyable. Some amusing moments ie when she slipped by the net and Andy was still powering down the shots. She can certainly hit with some power! Better on our side of the net!

[Naomi]

Now I'm eagle-eyed for when they'll play next!

[Hawkeye]

They'll have to play Monday as they are now a round behind.

[Stell]

I enjoyed their match. How embarrassing for Serena!! Typical Andy and his sense of humour.
