But it could end in the first game. Someone may retire hurt, or be DQ'd.

Amazing match, and great debate re whether to play tomorrow on Centre Court or Court 18.

The only stat left to chase is the '100 aces in a match' - I think with a night's rest that could go.

I hear the Queen will be there tomorrow - it would be great to see her watch the remainder of that match on outside court with the punters.
