Live - Wimbledon

1657: Yep, you guessed it. Fed is a break up in the third set now. Garcia-Lopez reached the third round here last year - he's highly unlikely to repeat that now. Tom Fordyce on Federer v Garcia-Lopez

Mole
1655: I would like to point out that Tim Henman, in conversation with my goodself, (see 0937) told all you lovely people that Sharapova v Dulko was the must see match of the day. Bang on, top marks Timothy. I caught up with him earlier to ask him his views on why British tennis is such a ruddy shambles. Watch his eloquent and well balanced opinions here.
BBC Sport Mole

1653: Novak Djokovic after beating Simon Greul in straight sets to reach the third round:
"I don't think it was easy. I made it more difficult for myself and made mistakes, which was the wrong thing to do as he was going for his shots. He put a lot of pressure on my serve and I was dropping service games in the third when I was up and this really shouldn't happen."

It's bad news for a Briton at Wimbledon
1649: Drat. It was all going too well, wasnt it? Britain's run of wins in the men's doubles comes to an end with a defeat for Ross Hutchins and his Australian opponent Stephen Huss - they lost 6-4 6-7 (12-14) 6-4 3-6 6-3 to Prakash Amritraj and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureschi. I suspect Cheesy was loitering somewhere near Court 17 when that happened...

1646: "Re 1612. At my tennis club anyone losing to a double bagel had to drop their shorts for the walk off court. Do the same rules apply here?"
From Bob in Edinburgh via text

1640: Fed's been playing for just 59 minutes and is already two sets to the good. Can't see a turnaround there, can you? It's a lot closer over on Court Three, however, where seventh seed Fernando Verdasco has just taken the third set against Belgium's Kristof Vliegen to lead 2-1. They've all gone to tie-breaks too.

1636: 2004 champion Maria Sharapova following her defeat by Gisela Dulko:
"The losses are tough, more here than at any other tournament. It puts some perspective into your life. It was just unfortunate the timing of this being only my fourth tournament back after injury but this is just the way it is."

The match is over
USA
1631: As suspected, Serena Williams did not hang around before finishing off Jarmila Groth, dropping only three games in a one-sided 6-2 6-1 win. She plays Roberta Vinci or text commentators' nightmare Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in round three.

1628: "Surely our success in the doubles today just proves that it was indeed Caroline Cheese's fault that our boys and girls did so badly yesterday! I don't know what she was doing, but kindly tell her to stop it, please!"
From Matthew, in London via text
Yep, I also blame Cheesy for the state of British tennis - it's clearly all down to her.

1625: Curses, it appears Cheesy wheeled out the double bagel yesterday. I didn't make history after all. Meanwhile, Fed is a break up in the second set against Garcia-Lopez and is making things look easy. Anyone would think he was a five-time champion or something... Federer v Garcia-Lopez

1620: Here's some long overdue news of Serena Williams, who is sprinting towards the finish line against Australia's Jarmila Groth - Serena, champion in 2002 and 2003, leads 6-2 5-1 on Court One and that one will be over very soon I suspect.

From Daryl in Longfield via text
I'm afraid not Daryl...although the injured player could just stand in one place I suppose?

A bagel
A bagel
1612: Well folks, I have to say I feel honoured - yes, I'm the first person to get to use the double bagel graphic. That's all down to Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, who - very loudly and very easily - polished off Ioana Raluca Olaru 6-0 6-0.

1605: Ah, there's something so right about watching Roger Federer in full flow on a sunny day at Wimbledon. He's just taken the first set, almost effortlessly. Follow Fed with Tom Fordyce


It's good news for a Briton at Wimbledon
1600: So British tennis is still in the doldrums? Not in the men's doubles at Wimbledon it's not. Jamie Delgado and Jonathan Marray have just become our second pair to make the second round today - they were leading Devilder and Rochus 6-1 4-1 when their opponents retired because of an injury.

A bagel
1555: Fed and Garcia-Lopez is going with serve on Centre but there's a bit of excitement on Court Two - apparently the crowd there have taken to imitating Victoria Azarenka's (rather loud) grunts. Not that it's bothering her...she's on course to dish out a double bagel to Ioana Raluca Olaru, and leads 6-0 3-0.

1551: Oops. Sorry about that delay - I had a few teething technical problems but they are now ancient history - I'm back with you - and, if you give this page a cheeky refresh, you'll see who I am.

The match is over
1544: It seems a very long time ago that I was getting sunburnt over on Court Four, watching Stefan Koubek against Tommy Robredo. At the time, Koubek was two sets up against the 15th seed but, as soon as I left, Robredo came roaring back - eventually winning 3-6 4-6 6-4 7-6 6-1.

1537: Yep, it may be all over for 'Pova but there is plenty more to come from the sun-drenched courts of SW19 today - starting with Rog on Centre. Are you on Fed-Alert? Tom Fordyce is...right here.

By Piers Newbery at Wimbledon

1531: I don't know about you but I need to go and have a lie down. Federer - wearing shorts - comes onto Centre Court, along with Guillermo Garcia-Lopez. Chris Bevan will take you through that and much, much more. Phew!

Argentina
1528: "It's the biggest win of my career at the biggest tournament in the world - I was really nervous at the end, she's very tough, and the crowd was fantastic with me," Dulko tells BBC Sport's Phil Jones. Lucky beggar. Roger Federer up next on Centre, and it's not often watching Rog feels like an anti-climax.

1523: Well, it doesn't get much better than that. A great match ends in a truly dramatic final game that sees Sharapova save four match points before Dulko seals arguably the biggest win of her career when the Russian sends a forehand long. Two hours and 13 minutes that have won a few new fans for the 24-year-old Argentine, I would think.

1521: GISELA DULKO BEATS MARIA SHARAPOVA 6-2 3-6 6-4


Mole
1517: "Just ventured over to the practice courts for a pre-arranged interview with Dinara Safina only to be blown out with an icily menacing, 'I only here to sign autographs.' Fair do's Dinara, who am I to argue. After cursing our bad luck who looms into view? Only BBC Sport's own personal rapper Vince Spadea!! After hastily cobbling together some questions (sprinkled with some rappers' buzz words) I approached him but he wasn't having any of it! Even when I named dropped Caroline Cheese. Crushed."
BBC Sport Mole

It's good news for a Briton at Wimbledon
1513: Robredo and Koubek go into a fifth set on Court Four. And yet more great news for British doubles fans as Jamie Delgado and Jonny Marray lead Belgian duo Devilder and Rochus 4-1.

The match is over
1508: Well, Djokovic finally sees off Greul in straight sets but it was another scratchy performance from the fourth seed. Dulko comes back from 0-30 to hold and go 5-3 up against Sharapova in the final set.

1508: BBC Sport's David Ornstein tells me that Bogdanovic has just told a news conference he will concentrate on doubles in the future.

1506: Look out, a double-fault sees Sharapova slip to 0-40 and she nets a backhand to give Dulko a break for 4-3 in the decider. Djokovic is slipping and sliding all over the place as he tries to finish off Greul.

1503: It's getting very lively on Centre Court now as Dulko levels at 3-3 and we are agreed in Commentary Box Four that this is the best match of the tournament so far, at least on Centre Court. Djokovic stares into the middle distance on the changeover as he prepares to serve for the match against Greul on Court One.

1458: Up-and-comer Victoria Azarenka is under way against Romania's soon-to-be-nicknamed Ioana Raluca Olaru on Court Two. Azarenka has been one of the players of the year and is not short of self-confidence. Sharapova saves break points to lead 3-2, and floppy-haired Verdasco wins the first-set tie-break against Vliegen.

1452: Djokovic is enduring a frustrating afternoon on Court One, despite being two sets up on Greul. For the second time in the third set he lets a break advantage disappear as the German belts a forehand past him for 3-3. And Sharapova breaks for 2-2 against Dulko in a match that, judging by the texts, has captured the hearts of the nation.

Results
1447: Mardy Fish beats Janko Tipsarevic 6-4 3-6 6-1 6-4 on Court Two, and wife Stacey has the camera out in the stands. Taylor Dent's run ends in the fifth set against Daniel Gimeno-Traver. And Dulko breaks Sharapova to lead 2-1 in the decider.

1442: Dulko stops a run of seven games against her and it's 1-1 in the decider. There's relief all round as we still have a match on our hands.

It's good news for a Briton at Wimbledon
1438: A quick break for refuelling, and I'm told one of my collagues has tracked down Anne Keothavong, who is bearing up well. "Look at all the girls that got career highs this year," she told BBC Sport. "There is a lot of pressure. We want to do well and we want to please the fans."

1432: "Sharapova and Dulko looks like going the distance...there is a god!"
From electricAceMan on 606

1430: Sharapova converts her fourth set point of a lengthy game and we're into a decider. And Verdasco appears to have left the hair gel behind, his fringe is flopping around like a schoolboy's on Court Three. Maybe it melted.

1425: Djoko moves two sets up against Greul on Court One and it might be time for Serena Williams to get her gear on, she's up next there against Jarmila Groth.

1420: Never rule out Sharapova, she's nails. Dulko crumbles with a couple of double-faults and falls a break down in the second set. Five games in a row now for the Russian. And Dudi Sela has seen off last year's semi-finalist, Rainer Schuttler, 7-6 6-3 6-2 on Court 12.

Someone is having a tantrum at Wimbledon
1413: Djokovic gives it some racquet abuse as he drops serve at the start of the second but immediately gets it back and leads 2-1. Sharapova has got the break back and is now level with Dulko at 3-3 in the second set. And a word for Taylor Dent, who has suffered terribly with injuries over the years but came through qualifying and has just forced a fifth set against Gimeno-Traver on Court Five.

1409: BBC Sport's Chris Bevan on Twitter: "A mystery on Court 7 - Craybas gives the umpire a pen and asks her to scribble on her hat. Why didn't she take it off and do it herself?"

It's good news for a Briton at Wimbledon
1404: I bring you glad tidings, Bogdanovic and Ward have beaten Martin and Scherrer 6-4 6-4 6-4. Even the score looks classy. And there's good news for Court Three fans - seventh seed, mighty hitter and fan of hair gel, Fernando Verdasco, is about to start against Kristof Vliegen.

1402: "Eating strawberries out of tuppawear and watching Sharapova on BBC live feed in my office. It's not quite the same but better than nothing!"

1400: "I remember seeing Dulko play in the juniors a few years back. She won the girls doubles title, so she can certainly play on the grass."
From Steveo77 on 606

1357: Djokovic has taken the first set against Greul 7-5, while Dulko continues to impress everyone - especially Radio One Newsbeat's David Garrido nearby - as she goes a set and a break up on Sharapova. It's the Dulko forehand that's doing the damage.

The match is over
1354: Daniela Hantuchova enjoys a fine win over last year's semi-finalist Jie Zheng on Court Two, after a fairly tortuous final game on Court Three. The Slovakian looks thrilled with that, pumping her fist before giving a big wave to the crowd. Meanwhile, Tipsarevic is getting attention on his arm from the trainer on Court Two.

Argentina
1344: Do not bait me during Dulkotime, Mole. The 24-year-old from Buenos Aires is also living up to the second piece of information about her that I earlier passed on to Tom Fordyce, that she's a really good player. Sharapova is having a bad day, mind, and Dulko takes the first set 6-2. Better news for Djokovic, who gets the break back to level at 4-4 when Greul double-faults.

Mole
1337: "Sheesh, unfortunate feeling of Groundhog Day as the first name I spy on the Royal Box list for today is Bruce Forsyth. Every blimmin' year. A further perusal, however, brings joy as everyone's favourite Brian Clough impersonator, Michael Sheen, is in the house...no doubt turning his talents to do a darn fine impression of Roger Federer. Less glamorous though is Piers's wordsmith of choice, Richard Stilgoe."
BBC Sport Mole


1334: A quick scan of the other courts tells me that Austrian Stefan Koubek is two sets up on 15th seed Tommy Robredo, Fish and Tipsarevic are at one-set all, Hantuchova is two games from beating Jie Zheng, and Moody Dudi Sela leads Schuettler by a set and a break. I've no idea if he's moody but it would help me out.

1328: "I reckon Sharapova v Dulko has to be the best looking match ever played on Centre Court." From Jamie, at Centre Court, via text

It's good news for a Briton at Wimbledon
1328: Cometh the hour, cometh the man... Boggo steps up to the plate and serves out to love, only for me to remember that they play best-of-five in the doubles at Wimbledon. No matter, he and Ward will surely see off Martin and Scherrer from here. Surely...


1325: Nadia Petrova wraps up a 6-3 6-2 win over Shahar Peer on Court 14, while Dulko is looking really good as she leads Sharapova 3-0. And Boggo and Ward are just one game away, people....

1316: Yes, yes, the arrow was the wrong way up for Keo and Borwell. Wishful thinking maybe, a manual refresh should see it return to the traditional negative position. And in front of my eyes, Dulko breaks Sharapova to lead 2-0, while Greul is 2-0 up on Djokovic. Blimey.

1312: BBC Sport's Chris Bevan on Twitter: "Sat next to Koubek's coach on Court 4. He's annoying me by bellowing in my ear but Stefan's happy: he's a set up against Tommy Robredo." And then.... "Much better news from Court 4. Koubek's coach has shut up + Patricia Mayr, who beat Keo yesterday, is now sat next to me - she's lovely."

It's bad news for a Briton at Wimbledon
1309: It's been another bad day for Anne Keothavong as she and Sarah Borwell go down 6-2 6-3 to Samantha Stosur and Rennae Stubbs on Court Five.

1305: Djokovic and Greul are out on Court One - Greul is the world number 106 from Germany and has won one Grand Slam singles match. Djokovic should have few problems but he hasn't been on tip-top form recently.

1300: Right on cue, Sharapova and Dulko emerge into the scorching sun of Centre Court. Sharapova quickly whips off the military-style jacket, Dulko is going for a bit of a 1970s headband look. It's all good. And this could be a decent match with Sharapova at less than 100% and Dulko a feisty competitor. You can follow it exclusively with Tom Fordyce

France
1255: Bad news for people on Court Three, good news for French tennis - as if they needed it. Ninth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga gets a free passage through to the third round after opponent Simone Bolelli pulls out with a back injury. Shame, could have been a good one.

It's good news for a Briton at Wimbledon
1253: Enough nonsense, some tennis - Fish has broken Tipsarevic in a rather scrappy encounter on Court Two, and the American will serve for the set. Keothavong and Borwell have dropped the first set but, praise be, Boggo and Ward have snaffled the first set against Martin and Scherrer. The comeback starts here.

1249: BBC Sport's David Ornstein on Twitter: "Dinara Safina having the most intense practice I've seen all week. Sweat, screams & sensational groundstrokes aplenty."

1244: "Re:12.34 my 2 yr old son, calls his dummy a dudi, not sure how he spells it in his world??"

Boris Becker
1244: Bally is getting the star treatment as she is congratulated and questioned by Boris Becker and Tracy Austin. The Mole will be fuming. Meanwhile, Times correspondent Neil Harman is asked about the British tennis situation. "The situation really is that bad and it's been going on for years and years. Somebody's got to take the rap." BBC 5 Live's Jonathan Overend tells us that Alex Bogdanovic will definitely not get another wildcard next year.

Sue Barker
1238: BBC Sport legend Sue Barker has grabbed a few words with national heroine Elena Baltacha, who had "a couple of glasses of wine" after yesterday's win and got to bed at 2.30am. Still, she did beat the world number 33, and as she says: "Fingers crossed it means direct acceptance for the US Open."

1234: A quick search for the BBC coverage on my monitor left me stuck with John Bercow for a while there. He's the British number seven, kids. Last year's surprise semi-finalist Rainer Schuettler continues to defy both time and logic as he cruises into a 4-1 lead over Dudi Sela on Court 12. Good name, Dudi.

1230: Cibulkova - a semi-finalist at the French Open recently - is giving Radwanska the runaround on Court Seven and leads 3-1. Meanwhile, opinion is divided over Nadia Petrova's frilly number but she leads Shahar Peer on Court 14.

1225: Good to see BBC Sport's Chris Bevan making more friends there after being in the frame for making Anne Keothavong cry last night. It turns out it wasn't him (it was a newspaper journalist) but we're not letting him off the hook. Bogdanovic and Ward are up and running against Martin and Scherrer. You've got to say, Boggo's due one.

1223: BBC Sport's Chris Bevan on Twitter: "Bumper crowd on Court 5 for the Brit-Aussie women's doubles showdown. 'I can't even see any grass,' complains a voice behind me. Unlucky."

It's bad news for a Briton at Wimbledon
1220: Right, we've already got some bad news for Britain as Keothavong and Borwell are broken straight away. Still, chin up. Elsewhere, there is an interesting looking match under way between Dominika Cibulkova and Urszula Radwanska on Court Seven, while Jie Zheng has got an early break against Robson-slayer Daniela Hantuchova.

1216: Just a reminder that we will have action on Centre and Court One from 1300 BST on BBC One, BBC HD, Red Button, 5 Live and right here on the website (UK only) - Sharapova v Dulko up first, with Djokovic v Greul on Court One.

1209: Mardy Fish and Janko Tipsarevic are out on Court Two for what should be an entertaining clash. Mardy looks like he's dressed up as a tennis player to go on a stag do, Janko has his trademark shades in place. A shot of the crowd gives us a glimpse of Mardy's wife, Stacey Gardner. Suddenly the 'Mardy Fish' look seems a bit more appealing.

1203: The players are making their way to the outside courts, with the galleries heaving around Court Five where Brits Keothavong and Borwell are knocking up ahead of their doubles clash with Stosur and Stubbs.

1202: "I also saw Mr Laud (see 1114) in the Press Centre, but deemed him unworthy of mentioning as it would denegrate the quality of this fine text commentary. No doubt David's Blackberry is bursting at the seams with pictures of him and the 'electric' Daniela Hantuchova. Anyway, where is Toffee Crisp hating Greg 'The Ruser' Rusedski?! (see 0937) I had brought him in a Tunnocks Caramel Wafer especially."
BBC Sport Mole

1159: Regular followers might have detected a hint of Fordyce in the last few entries but the byline is accurate again after I successfully negotiated the process of greeting Mama Newbery. Meanwhile, Richard Williams has had his say on burnout in the women's game. "No child should be pinned down, running from country to country, from state to state. I wouldn't do it. If you go back and look at Martina Hingis, Justine Henin, you look at Kim Clijsters and other girls. Why is it they had to quit at 25? Tennis has burned you out, tennis will kill you. Venus is 29, she is ready to play. She didn't burn out at an early age."

1150: Ah, the aural duvet that is The Voice Of Wimbledon. He speaks of warm weather, show-court decorum and possible strong breezes later. Delightful.

1145: Down on practice court eight, Richard Williams is hobbling round in ankle-high white socks while Venus spanks balls at him from the other side of the net. If you want to make it in this game, you've got to suffer. Fame costs - and right here's where you start paying. In sweat.

A name for Baby Federer
1118: Roger Federer will continue his campaign for a sixth title this afternoon against Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, but the Swiss star has other things on his mind as his wife, Mirka, is expecting their first child. 5 Live man (and 1987 champion) Pat Cash has been getting suggestions from stars of the tennis world, including Amelie Mauresmo and Sania Mirza, for a name for the Federer baby.

1114: BBC Sport's Chris Bevan on Twitter: "Sharapova looking a bit grumpy this morning. Been watching her practice on Court 8 for 10 minutes now and she hasn't smiled once." And then... "'Pova all smiles now though. She's also hitting some cracking forehands, just as 2 men dressed as Admiral Nelson arrive and ruin my view."

1110: We're back! The flux capacitor has been recalibrated and we are now ready for hyperspace. Or something. What we are ready for is some tennis but Wimbledon continues to turn a deaf ear to my calls for 24hr play, so we'll just have to wait for another 50 minutes.

1059: We are one hour from the start of play, so I think we all need to take a moment and pause to contemplate what is to come. We also need 10 minutes to do something highly technical that you wouldn't understand. I know I don't. Meet you back here in a jiffy...

1052: BBC Sport's Chris Bevan on Twitter: "Major Aussie presence in SW19 today, judging from my walk up from Southfields tube. Are they all here to see Jarmila Groth?"

1049: "The countdown to Friday begins here as strong rumours reach the Mole from an exclusive source (the free paper you get on the tube) that the X-Factor (other reality-pop-talent shows are available) judges are coming down to SW19! That means Cheryl Cole! Wowser. Simon Cowell has apparently promised Cheryl and Louis Walsh tickets, but not Dannii Minogue (oooh, controversial). Imagine acid-tongued Cowell let loose on the British tennis failures. Anne Keothavong would be weeping in the Priory quicker than SuBo (Susan Boyle to all you non BGT fans)."

The spectators begin to make their way in, doing their best to walk extremely quickly while not contravening the "no running" convention. And BBC Sport's Sarah Holt (see 1024 entry) has chosen to follow the Formula 1 path, and therefore her name is now mud in these parts.

Wimbledon fans play 'grunt tennis'
1003: Radio One Newsbeat's David Garrido arrives, out of breath after several flights of stairs but keen to pass on the news that he was out among yesterday's 45,955 fans (a record for the first Tuesday) getting them to grunt, scream and squeal in the style of an international tennis player. Web users can judge the results for themselves...

0949: One man who slipped under the radar yesterday was Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro, the fifth seed who has replaced Rafael Nadal at the top of the draw and is a potential semi-final opponent for Andy Murray. The 6ft 6in 20-year-old, who nearly beat Federer in the French Open semis a few weeks ago, thrashed Arnaud Clement 6-3 6-1 6-2 yesterday and plays Lleyton Hewitt next. "I want to improve my game in this kind of surface," he said. "With the serve, my movements, my volleys, I think I have an advantage over small players." Look out, Lleyton.

Wimbledon Day Three - Pundit's Picks

The Mole confirmed to us that Tim is "such a nice bloke" before regaling us with a tale about Greg being less than chuffed with the chocolate bars on offer yesterday. And that's an exclusive.

Although they both lost in the second round, so just one win from Muzza or Bally and it's a bumper year, no? Andy is certainly not impressed with the situation or, presumably, having to talk about it every year.

0858: The big names kick off at 1300 BST, with Maria Sharapova against Gisela Dulko on Centre Court and Novak Djokovic against Simon Greul on Court One. You will be able to follow all that and more on BBC One, BBC HD, BBC Red Button, 5 Live, 5 Live Sports Extra and streamed on the website for UK users. The chat will continue here, of course, although without Caroline Cheese as she's been given one day's compassionate leave following the departure of Marat Safin yesterday.

0853: It's the usual plan today, with play on the outside courts getting under way at 1200 BST and on Centre and Court One at 1300 BST. For any queuers, I'd suggest heading for Court Three, where you will see Daniela Hantuchova, Fernando Verdasco and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in action. Or out on Court Five you can get behind Anne Keothavong, who teams up with Sarah Borwell in the doubles.

0848: It's another scorcher in SW19 and the weather has prompted some naysayers to mock the construction of the new roof over Centre Court. Well, the roof actually made its competitive debut yesterday as the world's most expensive parasol when it was edged forward several feet to give shade to the Royal Box, where among those with seats were Prince Michael of Kent. The All England Club are now rumoured to be working on a £400m drinks holder.

The sun is out again at Wimbledon
0842: The weather is set fair again, but then you knew that, and if any first-time visitors to these shores are wondering - yes, it's always like this here. The official forecast says: "Another dry day with long spells of sunshine, although some medium level cloud is expected to move in early evening. It will again be warm with maximum temperatures of 24 degrees Celsius." We laugh in the face of your 'medium level cloud'.

0840: Hello everyone, I don't know about you but I'm feeling particularly chipper this morning. Maybe it's the afterglow of last night's Baltacha Ballyhoo, maybe it's a mild but increasingly serious case of Murraymania, or maybe it's just because I'm sitting on Centre Court on another beautiful morning with still 10 more to go after today. And in front of my bleary eyes on day three will be Maria Sharapova, Roger Federer and Marin Cilic, among others.
