Rain delays play at Wimbledon

Greg Rusedski’s hopes of joining Tim Henman in the Wimbledon quarter-finals were put on hold today as rain delayed play.

The Canadian-born British number two had to stop his fourth round match with Belgium’s Xavier Malisse at two sets all last night because of bad light.

They were due to resume their match on Centre Court today after Venus Williams’ clash against Elena Likhovtseva.

But shortly before 1pm the covers were still on as the rain came down.
