Rain interrupts Day 3 of Wimbledon

<p>

Nearly two hours of play have been lost so far on Wednesday... </p>

<p>

All play on the outside courts was washed out just after midday on Tuesday, which led to 87 matches being scheduled on day three in a bid to clear the backlog of matches. </p>

<p>

But more inclement weather arrived at 10.30am, just 30 minutes before play was due to get under way, meaning there was no action before 12.30pm. </p>

<p>

The dark clouds were replaced with blue skies at lunchtime, but it is almost certain that a number of matches will be cancelled later in the day, leaving the tournament playing catch-up for the next few days. </p>

<p>

There are still some matches that were initially scheduled for Monday that have yet to be played, while a number of matches that started on Tuesday also need to be finished. </p>

<p>

Only eight matches were completed on Tuesday with all of the Centre Court and Court One schedule played under the roof. </p>
