Good morning and welcome to Sports Mole's live text commentary from day three of the Olympic tennis at Wimbledon.
With typical British timing, play was suspended yesterday following some heavy storms at the All England Club which means that it's a jam-packed schedule today of both first and second round matches.
Roger Federer, Juan Martin del Potro and Marin Cilic are all in action for the men, while the British trio of Laura Robson, Heather Watson and Elena Baltacha continue their quests for Olympic glory.
Both the Williams sisters are on court later today, not to mention world number one and top seed Victoria Azarenka.
Please note that play is due to start at 11.30am.
20.51The defending gold medallists will next take on the Israeli duo of Andy Ram and Jonathan Erlich in round two.
20.49Soeda produces some unbelievable defence at deuce but Federer batters him with smashes and finally breaks the resistance, fist-pumping extravangantly. At match point Nishikori returns long and that's that.
Soeda/Nishikori 7-6[5] 4-6 4-6 Federer/WawrinkaGAME, SET AND MATCH!
20.47Federer has a match point but he gets a backhand straight at him that he can't get back. We're at deuce.
20.46They're denied as the Swiss put together an outstanding point to hold on. Federer celebrates as if he's won the match.
20.45Wow. The seven-time Wimbledon champion clips the tape with a forehand and the Japanese have a break-back point.
20.4530-30 as Nishikori foxes both Swiss men with a lob return. Big serve for Fed.
20.44Hello. Fed is presented with a fairly simple backhand volley but finds the net. 15-15.
20.43The star begins with an ace.

20.40Tomorrow's order of play has been released and my trusty colleague Jack has summed it all up for you right here.
20.39It's the turn of Wawrinka to step up on serve.
20.38Just hearing that all other matches on the outside courts have been suspended for bad light as the crowd on No. 1 give us a mexican wave.
Soeda/Nishikori 7-6[5] 4-6 3-4* Federer/WawrinkaThe Swiss pair will want to get this done and dusted soon because the light is seriously fading at SW19. Very dark in No. 1 Court at the moment as Nishikori matches Federer with a love-hold.
Soeda/Nishikori 7-6[5] 4-6 *2-4 Federer/WawrinkaIt's so useful having a man like Federer on your team. The singles world number one's serve is immaculate as he holds to-love.

20.30Wawrinka pounces at the net and the Swiss have a chance of a double break.
20.30Soeda double faults on the next and it's now precarious for the Japanese at deuce.
20.29Federer lets out a huge roar of anguish as he misfires on a return at 30-30.
Soeda/Nishikori 7-6[5] 4-6 *1-3 Federer/WawrinkaThe Swiss duo are looking good as Wawrinka stays strong on serve to open up a two-game lead.

Wickmayer 4-6 6-3 3-6 WozniackiGAME, SET AND MATCH! Sweet Caroline, we have a winner! Wickmayer is trying her best to stay in the rally but Wozniacki is too strong and the Belgian hits long. The eighth seed is through but only just and she'll now face Slovakian stunner Daniela Hantuchova in round three.
20.08And now two match points...
20.08An ace out-wide from Wozniacki puts her within two points of victory.

Wickmayer 4-6 6-3 2-4 WozniackiNo such problems for Wickmayer on serve as she holds to-15. Over to you, Caroline.
19.52As well as missing out on a host of game points before tying that mammoth game up, Wozniacki saved/Wickmayer missed out on seven break points!
Wickmayer 4-6 6-3 *1-4 WozniackiWozniacki holds and listen to this, that game went 13 deuces before the Dane prevailed. Unbelievable.

19.30Over on 16, the Radwanska sisters have another break of serve in the second set and look to be on their way to the second round.
Wickmayer 4-6 6-3 *0-3 WozniackiWhoosh. Wozniacki reels off two games in a row by winning eight points in succession. The eighth seed now has clear daylight in the decider.

Robson 6-5* SafarovaIt's a great hold from Robson. That game looked touch and go for a moment but her serve remains reliable and she wins her first game in five. Pressure back on Safarova.

13.40GAME, SET AND MATCH! Stepanek 4-6 3-6 Davydenko
Azarenka 6-1 3-6 0-1* BeguBREAK! And just like that the top seed is on the back foot. She didn't look convincing in that game and paid the price by slamming her forehand into the net. Could we have another huge upset on our hands here at the Olympics?

12.09SET! Gasquet 6-3 Haase, Kerber 6-1 Cetkovska, Martina Sanchez 6-2 Hercog
11.59It's worth remembering that Roddick and men's doubles partner John Isner were knocked out in the first round of the doubles by Brazil's Marcelo Melo and Bruno Soare so the world number 22 won't be giving this one up easily today.
Roddick 4-3* KlizanRoddick again blocks everything out at the net and brings up the hold.

11.38Meanwhile, the other matches are getting underway on the outside courts. We'll bring you updates as soon as anything happens. Roddick to serve in this one.
11.37There's a crying baby in the crowd. Roddick won't like that.
11.36Actually, we're not. Instead we're going for American Andy Roddick's encounter with Slovakian Martin Klizan.
11.34Firts up we'll be following Croatian 13th seed Marin Cilic's match with Austria's Jurgen Melzer.
11.32Okay then, play on day three of the Olympic tennis is just minutes away...
11.27Federer can join an elite club if he picks up an Olympic singles medal this year as he would become only the fifth man to win a medal and a Grand Slam in the same year following his recnt success at Wimbledon. Reginald Doherty (1900), Stefan Edberg (1988), Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic (both 2008) are the others.
11.23Another interesting match that we've got today is Roger Federer's encounter with Frenchman Julien Benneteau. The pair met in the third round of Wimbledon as Benneteau squandered a two-set lead to the eventual champion. Federer won't be able to afford such a slow start this time due to the matches being only three sets long.
11.19It should be another proud day for the Brits too as Heather Watson, Laura Robson and Elena Balatcha are all in singles action. Baltach, who is taking on Serbian 11th seed Ana Ivanovic on Court 18, will later team up with Anne Keothavong in the women's doubles.
11.16However, first up we've got a handful of matches which include Andy Roddick vs. Martin Klizan, Victoria Azarenka vs. Irina-Camelia Begu and David Goffin vs. Juan Monaco.
11.14There's a host of big names in action today with arguably the biggest being Roger Federer and Serena Williams.
11.11Right, first things first - the sun is out at Wimbledon! Following some rather aggressive weather at the All England Club yesterday it looks like we'll be able to plow through this backlog of matches that we've got ourselves.
