1301: Here come the players - Good Lord, it is a cardigan! Think cable-knit cricket jumper with three buttons down the middle and you're almost there. Roger's wearing it with the sleeves rolled up, giving him a Miami Vice meets Hampshire 2nd XI look.
1258: Before the cardigan issue is put to bed, a little statistical chat for you - Hrbaty is one of only three current players who has a winning record over Federer. That's the good news. The bad news is that the last time they played was four years ago. Not sure Dom's improved in that time.
1250: Centre Court filling up nicely out there. Lots of slightly anxious patrons scurrying to their seats while clutching plastic cups of drained Pimms, while out on the sacred grass carpet a line-judge in white trousers and Gatsby blazer checks the height of the net rather self-importantly.
1245: Afternoon - and the big question is, can Roger pull it off again? The cream-coloured blazer, I mean, rather than winning Wimbledon There's rumours this year that he might be sporting a cardigan instead, although whether this is the sort of look to intimidate Rafa is open to debate. Why not go the whole hog and come out in horn-rimmed specs, clutching a bag of knitting and a Thermos flask?
