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

I can't see them on schedule for Monday??

They aren't the only ones who are behind

I so hope they'll play on Tuesday too when I'm there!!

Looking at the schedule it seems like a possibility!

Because they're a round behind, I thought they would have played today.

It feels very spontaneous with them doesn't it! Like they could just appear on the centre court schedule!

Whiilst a bit strange Andy/Serena not listed as court to to be arranged,pretty likely they will be playing. However as previously it would be either Centre ot No1 court after the singles matches are completed.

They aren't playing until tomorrow. It's the other half of the drawing playing r2 today. @stufraser confirmed it earlier on Twitter.

It looks like all of the other mixed doubles round 2 are playing today except for Andy and Serena. Could this to be with Serena's singles schedule.

Yes thought a lot of the Mixed matches were on,may be because the women play Monday and Tuesday.

This is what Stu Fraser states in his Times article today.

The scheduling should be more kind to Murray from now on. His next match with Williams, against the No 14-seeded pair of Fabrice Martin and Raquel Atawo, will likely take up the third slot on Centre Court, after two women’s singles quarter-finals.

Serena if she gets to the quarters will be able to play after her quarter and Wimbledon will also have the opportunity to schedule it properly on centre.

According to that article Kim is a "mother of one".......and she was with "brother in law Josh". Who writes this stuff?

Ooh so the consensus is that they'll play tomorrow?! Sounds good!

Serena/Andy are 3rd match on Centre.

There are only 3 3rd round mixed doubles matches tomorrow - all in the other half of the draw to Serandy.

Just see on bbc liveblog Williams say their mixed doubles name “Mu-rena” Williams go for. There also “Ser-Andy” too. Lol.

Well done to Murena! :)

Enjoyable match and impresive from Murena (which seems to be the name they're going with), Andy maybe had a few loose ones but some great returns from both (Serena had some crucial ones though) A few long games but generally they were dictating to Martin/Atawo and got going once they read Martin's serve. :cheer::cheer: Their last 16 match against top seeds Soares/Melichar is scheduled 3rd on Court 2.

Yes, very enjoyable to watch,both played well, but maybe with Serena already having played one match think she did have the upperhand, but all very useful for our Andy!!!:thumbup:

Highly entertaining match which brightened what was otherwise a bit of an anti-climax sort of day. I enjoy watching Serena much more in the mixed than I do when she is playing singles...must be something to do with her partner perhaps?:wimbly: She's much more relaxed and smiley, and oh boy, did she really go for those returns! It's great there will be more Andy to watch tomorrow.:strawberry:

Can someone please explain to me why Bruno and partner are seeded No 1 when Jamie and Bethanie were not seeded at all, even though they are reigning US Open champs. I must be missing something!

It may seem a bit unfair but there are no ranking points for Mixed , therefore seedings are purely based on the combined Doubles Rankings in Men's and Women's Doubles. For instance whiilst Bruno/ Jamie next to each others in rankings at 7/8 Melichar is currently ranked 15, Bethanie 79 (though did not play till grass court season after Australian Open -needed knee surgery in March to have a plica removed)

Thanks, James - that makes more sense.

It was a good match but very much Serena in the driving seat with some lovely returns, Andy offering good support. Watched their press conference on YouTube, Serena laughing as the journalists asked Andy a few times about singles, he kept saying he couldn't say but that didn't stop different ones asking the same question!
Cmon Murena!

Not Andy's best performance since his return, he really struggled on breakpoints to get his returns in play. Perhaps he and Serena should swap sides ?

Don't think a swap of sides is going to happen as Serena made it plain before agreeing to play with Andy that she always plays there and what Serena wants .....
