1250: Centre Court slowly filling, but with World Bank urges Africa to invest in agriculture ...
Rowling wins court photo appeal ...
Court upholds life sentence for Czech double murderer ... a mere 10 minutes until Venus and Cava stroll out, we're still looking at no more than 30% capacity. Make that 32% - the line-judges have just glided into view. Glidded into view. Arrived on court.
1240: Now then. On the face of it, Cavaday hasn't got a chance. You're probably waiting for a caveat to follow that, but to be honest there isn't one. Venus has 36 career tour singles titles, Cava none. Venus has won Ј9m in prize money; Cava around Ј40,000. Venus has won Wimbledon four times; Cava has never got past the first round.
The glimmer? This time last year at SW19, Cava had two match points against another former champion, Martina Hingis. Did she take them? We won't worry about that now. She had them - that's the main thing.
