0940: Also
on Centre Court today,
we'll see Caroline Wozniacki play Kai-Chen Chang before Rafael Nadal takes on Robin Haase. That means Serena Williams' hopes of showing off her new curtsy in front of the royal box have been dashed. "I'm working on it," she said earlier in the week. "It's a little dramatic and I'm trying to tone it down. I want it to be more natural. Right now it feels really forced." Serena is out on Court Two in the third match against Anna Chakvetadze, although the world number one might get her chance if she is one of the players presented to the Queen in the morning.

0922: OK, two more things on the match from the end of the world. Firstly, have a look at
Tom Fordyce's excellent summation of the madness of Court 18
- "Ball-boys became ball-men" - and enjoy a limerick on the epic encounter....

0910: "The game is over when Fats says it's over... I came after him and I'm gonna get him. I'm going with him all the way." Not the words of Nicolas Mahut, but the words of Paul Newman in
The Hustler.
The pool game in that celluloid classic lasted 25 hours and only ended when Newman's Fast Eddie character polished off an entire bottle of bourbon. Watch out for that at the changeovers on Court 18 today.
