The action was due to start at 1030 GMT but with the covers
on to protect the grass, it was put back to around 1130 with the
matches on the show courts expected to begin on schedule half an
hour later.
Home favorite Andy Murray, the third seed, is first up on Number
One, facing Dutch world number 78 Robin Haase.
Second seed Roger Federer continues his quest for an
unprecedented eighth title when he takes on big-serving Sam
Querrey, one of a dwindling handful of Americans left in the
tournament.
Defending champion Petra Kvitova plays Japan's Kurumi Nara and
Rafa Nadal will be the tea-time attraction on Centre Court when
he meets unconventional German Dustin Brown.
Most of the big names in the men's and women's draws have
advanced relatively untroubled so far and if that trend
continues it will set up some heavyweight clashes in the second
week.
