Aaaaand we're back on serve.

And Sabine breaks early too
It wasn't a bad opening game from Kanepi but our Sabine's forehand is such a potent weapon. Assured when moving to the net too.
Radwanska. 
Lisicki breaks again and wins first set 6-3
Lisicki takes the first set!
The drop shot has been n the money pretty much every time today.

I like angry Li Na.
She probably is but I meant that forehand down the line she did.

Oh right. I'm on the lisicki match.
feck the Lisicki match.
Radwanska/Li is exactly as expected, fecking brilliant.
Radwanska just will not give up this first set. Proper fighter.

Kanepi did come back from the brink against the other German Kerber...
Looks like this one has gone though.

Alright, now this time Lisicki will serve for the match.
Losing that set could be a killer for Li Na
Radwanska takes the first set, incredible.
Three setter here please, game of the tournament this one!

Lisicki through easily 6-3, 6-3
And she does, albeit with a few nerves.
Kanepi lacked the necessary intensity and didn't change things up when the game was only heading in one direction.

Did they close the roof on Centre before the match started?
Nope, about 45 minutes wait now?
Usually bad news but good in this case as it might mean I can watch the rest of this and also see Sloane/Bartoli.
The covers are coming off already, you might have a clash on your hands.
BBC are fecking shocking.
^ Why, what haver they done?
Allez Marion!
Allez Marion!
Rejoined the action two games in without letting anybody know that play had even resumed. All while doing shitty VT's and talking to Dickovic.
Maybe ITV nicked the controls? Definitely odd, can you see them airing a Lisicki interview during Murray's QF?
Going with serve in the Bartoli vs Stephens match up to this point.

Li Na breaks to get the second set back on serve. Radwanska must be an almighty pain in the arse to play against. She gets everything back in play.
The game's been a case of Li Na hitting and Radwanska fetching until Li Na gets tired and commits an unforced error
Woo! We're going to a third set on centre.
Crucial hold for Bartoli.
Every time I see Bartoli she looks a little bit more unfit.
Some boos and slow clapping over here after Bartoli questioned why they hadn't been taken off after it started raining. Of course just after that it started to become more heavy.
It might put the crowd against her alter but she was vindicated.
It being back on deuce point it was a fair time to call it IMO.

Radwanska. 
Basically sitting down when she hit that.
Double fault's on match point. Is she going to bottle this?

You just know this Radwanska bird's gonna look EXACTLY like her mum when she's older. Hagged
fecking hell, finally wins. Li Na pushed her all the way to the end.
What a match.
Her against Lisicki will be a cracker.

Having just heard Radwanska's interview it sounds like she'll be glad of every hour of the full day's break ahead of the semi-final.
As of 9 minutes ago Wimbledon's twitter reported that the rain was expected to last a further half hour, the court will then be inspected and hopefully we'll be back up and running.
Lisicki I did a little sex wee listening to the match earlier when I heard she won.

No more rain delays hopefully.
The set was at a potential turning point, be interesting to see who if either coped with the rain delay best.

Bartoli takes the first set.
Now that set Stephens is a very composed player, a close contest.

She looks like her mum already. Raddled.
