I love Wimbledon, but I thought that having the Olympic event here straight after would spoil the effect but today it has proven me wrong. Right now on court is Roger Federer taking Alejandro Falla (If you remember, a couple of years ago Falla was 2-0 up against him and serving for the match at 5-4, but lost) apart. The crucial differences between the Grand Slam event and this Olympic event is that the matches are the short format, best of 3 rather than 5, and that the players are allowed to wear colours. Wimbledon is traditionally white only, but for the Olympics it isn't. It just seems refreshing for some reason, and the pink banners all over the place make the whole event feel different, whilst maintaining the stunning grass courts.
Andy Murray is on centre court once Federer is finished I think, which won't take much longer. He is a set up, and a break up. It's over very soon.
