Wimbledon Center Court Scoreboard

[Jackidance]

Top left corner of the scoreboard has "previous sets"... How do they get this number? Same for top right "sets games points". how do they get this number?

I'm confused by your question!

This scoreboard shows play in progress during the 3rd set of a match. On the right you can see that Federer is two sets to love up, leading by 5 games to 3 in the current set and 15-love up in the current game. Garcia-Lopez has service (indicated by the dot to the right of his name):

The lefthand side of the board provides the details of how Federer won each of the first two sets, which was 6-2 in each case. The clock at the top left shows that it's 5.04pm, with the one at the top right showing that the match has been in progress for 1 hour 25 minutes.

Stupid me! I didn't know that that was a clock. and I couldn't figure out what on earth it was. thank you! so the top left and the top right are clocks, ok, that clarifies my question. thank you.

I assume the clock/timeparts are sponsored by Rolex as there is a Rolex sign and logo next to them

Rolex have a suite for corporate entertainment, and I suspect that is responsible for the batches of empty seats you sometimes see on centre court, as the people are there for their free food and drink - not the tennis.

Sorry, going a bit off-topic.

GGRRR clover..they should wait to the first proper break..not the one after first game..and then allow empty seats to be used by anyone....damned hospitality blocks should not be allocated..

The number of people still returning to their seats when play is about to start is annoying and must unsettle the players. A few minutes before any start of play there should be no entry.

The 'honorary stewards' are fussy bu**ars and won't let anyone sit anywhere apart from their own designated seat. I was there with two elderly friends the other day who were suffering in the heat and moved into the shade. There were plenty of seats available, but the fussy bu**ar tried to make them go back into the searing sun. Fortunately my friends are stubborn bu**ars so didn't do what they were told :))

and TENNA pants should be compulsory on show courts !!!

[Cloverjo]

Lol, minty. :))

Perhaps the OP is American?
