Re: The Rain Haters Thread!!! (Weather Updates/Complaining)
Here's hoping Fed v Blake will be nice and short so Roger can kick ass in the doubles too.

Apparently Federer and Wawrinka are playing cards in the athletes' lounge.

They are done drying the court. Hopefully, the players will be coming out soon.

Re: The Rain Haters Thread!!! (Weather Updates/Complaining)
Well, I am watching the court live on my computer and they had a guy out there with one of those big fans that dries the court and he just left. I don't have sound, so maybe he gave up, but he seemed to be drying every part of the court. I can't tell if there is any rain.

inefficiency is not a problem for the chinese, they'll just bring 10 more guys to dry the courts

OK, the fan is back out, and now there is a guy drying off the lines with a towel.
