    I just think it's a shame they stop the ladies tennis when it rains. I think I'd watch it more often if they played on through torrential downpours and big mudpuddles on the court.

      And if tiebreaks were resolved with a bout of wrestling?

              Seems a shame grass-court is so rare to me.

                And Wimbledon qualifying, which officially counts as a separate tournament, IIRC.
