The covers came on at Wimbledon for the first time in the Championships today as the traditional rain made its annual appearance.
At 1.57pm matches being played across the All England Club were suspended and the players ushered back into the locker rooms.
The umbrellas went up on Centre Court, where fans sat waiting for Greg Rusedski's second round clash with fellow big-hitter and number five seed Andy Roddick.
Other fans sat in the surrounding show courts in the hope that the forecasters prediction of a brief shower was right.
And 15 minutes later the covers were pulled back and play resumed.
Rusedski was set to play his second round match on Centre Court this afternoon. Fans were expected to keep a keen eye on the impressive technology in place as he prepared to fire in the fastest serve in tennis history.
The Canadian-born Brit was aiming to rewrite the record books by breaking the 150mph mark when he resumed his Wimbledon campaign against the much-fancied Andy Roddick.
The duo both share the current record of 149mph and were once again coming under the scrutiny of the IBM Radar Gun which measures every thunderous serve.
The Radar Gun, which was first used on Wimbledon's showpiece stage in 1991, uses two sensors positioned behind the baseline at the ends of the court to record the speed of serves.
It has now been extended to cover many of the other courts around the All England Club and is just one of a number of high-tech devices used during the championships to compile statistical information on matches.
"Hawk-Eye" is the latest contraption on show. The BBC device, making its debut at this year's tournament, employs the latest in camera and computer technology to track the ball on court.
Taking into account the trajectory, skid and compression of the ball, Hawk-Eye produces an accurate real-time computer-generated replay which can be viewed and played through 360 degrees.
But today, all eyes were on the Radar Gun ... and, of course, Rusedski.
