Wimbledon should thank John and Nico for distracting people from the other big story from Wednesday: Serena won't be debuting her curtsy before the Queen because the current world #1 and defending champion will be otherwise occupied on Court 2. Neither will Masha be shrieking for the Queen. Despite the fact that she's also hoisted the Venus Rosewater dish, she'll be stuck on Court 1.
Can't wait to hear the organizers' justification for this one. Surely the queen knows that black people play tennis, right? Or maybe her Royal Guards are a little worried about balls being stuffed down throats? So many questions.
As for the match that never ends, the boys will retake Court 18 as the second third match on but not before 3:30 pm. I hope both guys got an IV hookup for the night.
