Rain has stopped play at Wimbledon, with Andy Murray's match delayed as drizzle hit the All England club.
The start of play of matches on the outside courts was delayed on Monday morning and despite a dry start, British hopeful Andy Murray's match faced a delay for rain.
The 25-year-old's game against Marin Cilic was put on court one - which does not have the benefit of a roof like centre court.
The match was suspended with Murray at a set up and 3-1 up in the second set against the Croatian.
The delayed day came as the Met Office revealed this June was the wettest since records began, with double the average rain falling during the month.
On Monday morning the rain had stopped by 11.30am, the intended start time for play on all courts but Centre and Court One.
Play on courts two to 19 began at midday and matches on centre court and court one started on time at 1pm.
But rain began to fall at 2pm, delaying the centre court match between Roger Federer and Xavier Malisse.
The roof was later put on the court during the second match, between Ana Ivanovic and Victoria Azarenka.
Forecasters have said the wet weather could continue throughout the week, in contrast with last week's fairly bright weather. Last Thursday spectators enjoyed soaring temperatures of up to 28C at the All England Club.
