Wimbledon cancel 21 matches as packed schedule ruined for second day running
Wimbledon have some catching up to do with their scheduling this week.
Wimbledon are facing more schedule issues after being forced to cancel 10 matches on Wednesday with play being disrupted to start Wednesday's order of play. Tuesday's downpour of rain meant only matches on Centre Court and Court One were able to be finished.
A total of 48 matches were ultimately cancelled, forcing Wimbledon to move most of them onto Wednesday when the second round was set to begin. But the schedule was immediately disrupted to start the day with small showers forcing play to be delayed until shortly after midday.
There was even a short delay on the show courts despite both roofs being closed as Wimbledon wanted play to start with the roof open.
The showers passed and the roofs opened with the covers coming off the outside courts around about 2, but play had to be suspended once again shortly after the Just Stop Oil protest due to adverse weather once again.
It was at that time that Wimbledon conceded defeat in their hope of getting five matches played on some of the courts.
The All England Club announced shortly after 3pm that 10 matches had been cancelled, most of which were second-round matches.
Even more had to be called off later in the day with a total of 21 matches cancelled.
