Possible 34/35 at Wimbledon. The players will be helped by *checks notes*

 

"Having an 10 minute break per match"

 

The grass on them courts will look like our pitch by tomorrow morning 🤣

I think they'll probably water the grass overnight.

 

Is the 10 minute break a special Wimbledon rule, or do they do it at all tournaments?  They do in Australia, I know, with extra breaks if the temperature goes over 40 degrees.
