LONDON (Reuters) - Play was called off for the day at Wimbledon everywhere except Centre Court as light rain fell at the All England club on Friday.
Top seed Rafa Nadal was a set up against Gilles Muller on Court One when the match was halted and the Spanish defending champion will resume on Saturday.
Home hope Andy Murray started his third-round match against Croatian Ivan Ljubicic under the Centre Court roof.
Twice champion Nadal appeared below his usual energetic best and took a medical time out after falling towards the end of the first set moments before the wet weather arrived.
The Spaniard edged the tiebreak 8-6 against Luxembourg's Muller, the only player other than Roger Federer to beat Nadal at Wimbledon since 2005.
Fourth seed Victoria Azarenka made short work of Daniela Hantuchova in the deciding set after they resumed under the Centre Court roof, while on Court 18 last year's runner-up and sixth seed Tomas Berdych was on the brink of victory over American Alex Bogomolov Jr.
