I was intrigued to hear that there is an 11pm curfew on matches at Wimbledon "so they don't disturb the neighbours".

They take over the neighbourhood for a fortnight, allow thousands of people to trample everywhere and yell and grunt at the top of their voices, parking their cars everywhere and making the local residents prisoners in their own homes......then start worrying about disturbing the neighbours.

Interesting logic!

:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Would be a bit incestuous to look at Murray's rear view -my eldest son is very similar to him and the same age!:rolleyes:

As you say the curfew thing is odd - perhaps they had complaints from the local residents!

The curfew thing is not odd at all, it's simple politeness and respect for others. It's not to do with the noise from the court but the noise of hundreds of people banging car doors, revving engines and driving away. Or so I was informed by the commentators who were desperately trying to find things to talk about on Thursday when I was forced to watch Wimbledon while waiting for my postponed programme which never appeared.

They definitely have to do something about the 11pm curfew. Imagine if that had been the men's final? Millions of people would be perched on the edge of their seats around the world (including most of the residents of SW19 as well).

A World Class tournament deserves to run its course! And if that means financial compensation to the neighbours, then that is a comparatively small price to pay.

Exactly -it's only once a year for 2 weeks anyway. As you say most of the locals will probably be watching it too!

The longest ever final was 2009 -Federer -Roddick -brilliant stuff, didn't miss a minute -would probably have been interupted with this new rule.

The 2008 Nadal - Federer final lasted nearly 5 hours too (I watched it all!), it was a thrilling match and being interupted by rain would also have gone past the curfew if it had been in place.

Murray vs Cilic today - will be a tough match -looking forward to it. C'mon Andy!:hothothot:D:hothothot

Wish I could send some of our sun.:hothothot:hothothot:hothothot:hothothot:hotho thot:D

We're expecting thunderstorms in theory but it ain't happening! It's very oppressive about 38°C -am inside with the shutters closed to keep out the heat -we are praying for some rain!

Watching Federer - Malisse - close so far, fed should win!

Sharapova has made a poor start and the Italian woman Schiavone is doing well against Kvitova -has won first set...

Hope rain doesn't stop play.............Time!:D
