2118: The answer (see 2113) is no, unfortunately. Mel South loses 7-5 7-6 to Mathilde Johansson, the Frenchwoman celebrating with a brief dip to her knees.

2108: Is anyone still reading this?! If so, hang out the bunting: Georgie Stoop takes the second set against seventh seed Vera Zvonareva. Unbelievable stuff. They'll come back tomorrow for the decider. Is anyone still reading this?! If so, hang out the bunting:takes the second set against seventh seed Vera Zvonareva. Unbelievable stuff.

2104: Just discovered that Tom Fordyce can say 'Is there a swimming pool near here?' in four languages. Impressive. Mel South, meanwhile, is level at 5-5 in set deuxieme (French for second set... probably), while seventh seed Vera Zvonareva is improbably serving to stay in the second set against Georgie Stoop.

2051: The big babies on Court Two may not fancy it, but the action continues around the grounds... Mel South is refusing to capitulate on Court One and is 3-3 with the aforementioned Mathilde Johansson.

From IlCucchiaio on 606: "Mathilde Johansson has suddenly made Monday night viewing a whole lot more exciting."

2046: Neither Goodall nor Llodra fancy carrying on, and they tell the referee in no uncertain terms. The ref tells them they've got half an hour so they can get another set in... but wait, ref's on his radio... and does a spectacular about-turn! No more play today. They'll return tomorrow.

2042: Tommy Haas is among those in action as the gloom gathers. The former world number two, who beat Novak Djokovic to win the Halle grasscourt title, is finding it surprisingly tough against Alex Peya, but now leads 6-7 7-6 6-3. Josh Goodall loses the second set on a tie-break against Michael Llodra. Boo. Some discussion on Court Two about whether they'll carry on tonight...

2030: Jamie (see below), if Georgie Stoop is going to cause the mother of all upsets, she's going to have to do it from a set down. Having battled to take the set into a breaker, she loses it 7-0.

2019: Appalling remarks from the gentlemen in this Commentary Box as they spot Mathilde Johansson for the first time. Genuinely appalling. Mel South saves a third set point against the Frenchwoman with a booming ace down the 'T' and levels at 5-5. Georgie Stoop is also - remarkably - level at 5-5 against seventh seed Vera Zvonareva. If she doesn't win another game, that's a mighty impressive effort. Appalling remarks from the gentlemen in this Commentary Box as they spot Mathilde Johansson for the first time.

2003: Turns out Julien Benneteau is a bit of a clumsy character. The Frenchman, serving to stay in the match against Novak Djokovic, is running back to chase a lob, slips and whacks his knee on the back wall. Ouch. Looks like we might have tears.

Maria Sharapova on why she loves Wimbledon: "It's the little things like living in a house, you know, having a normal key instead of like the hotel key, cooking your own breakfast, I don't know, making your own tea. You feel like you're a little bit - it's a little homely. Everything is close if you're in the village. You don't have to be in too much traffic, unless you're staying in London."

Mardy Fish on what he'll say to his mate James Blake: "James is the kind of guy who likes to just get away. He likes to keep to himself when he's down.

BBC Sport Mole: "Just had a vigorous debate about the futility and pointlessness of Twitter with the girls in the office and John Inverdale. It was prompted by someone reading one of BBC Sport's Dave Ornstein's tweets from earlier. Harsh on Dave, but thems the breaks. Talking of which I'm been searching in vain all day for Andy Murray's entourage after he tweeted this earlier, 'if you see a man walking around Wimbledon with a bin on his head, its my fitness trainer.' Sounds like bullying to me." "Just had a vigorous debate about the futility and pointlessness of Twitter with the girls in the office and John Inverdale.

Michelle Larcher de Brito on her grunting/screaming: "I tried to be quiet for you guys today... I didn't think it was necessary to really go any louder than I was today. I was playing good.

1839: There's nothing for it, I'm dragging out the Brit down graphic in the hope it inspires James Ward on Court One. The British debutant is 6-1 6-3 down against Fernando Verdasco. There's another all-Russian ding-dong on Court Two, by the way, where fourth seed Elena Dementieva has just nudged 5-4 ahead against Alla Kudryavtseva.

1807: Talking of the V-Dog, Vince Spadea wallops Paul Capdeville 6-0 6-4 7-5 to reach the second round in his 14th Wimbledon - yes, 14th, he's quite old you know. That's the first time he's won a match here since 2004 when he reached the last 16.

1720: Ivan Ljubicic has withdrawn from the tournament with an ankle injury he suffered at Eastbourne last week. He is replaced by Thailand's Danai Udomchoke, who will be hot-footing it to the locker room as we speak because he's up against Sam Querrey in the next match on Court Eight. I hope he remembered his gym kit today. Ivan Ljubicic has withdrawn from the tournament with an ankle injury he suffered at Eastbourne last week.

1717: No upset on Court One. Robin Soderling sees off Gilles Muller in four sets. The Swede is a potential fourth-round opponent for Rog. That means James Ward will shortly make his Wimbledon bow against seventh seed Fernando Verdasco. I reckon the Brit will at least take a set. I am a bit giddy after the Vinny chat though.

1710: Not sure how Michael (see below) knows what Paul Capdeville was listening to through his headphones... Was he playing it loud like those youths on the buses?

Check his latest quotes about his initial hatred of Wimbledon: "I never understood why somebody felt the need to dictate what I could or couldn't wear, or why I could feel like an intruder in a tournament I was competing in. It was a place I didn't have a sense for, and a lot of times I wanted to run from it." Such a dude shame though those quotes come from this week's edition of housewives favourite Hello! magazine.
