Wimbledon 'Battle of the Boards' pick em - now back on - closing Monday 11.30 UK

I'm afraid the litany of bad timing and other disasters that have bedevilled BOTB pick ems this year is going to affect Wimbledon too. I have a very important deadline on 30 June but I can't start the final batch of work for it until I receive some stuff which, heavily delayed, is due to arrive later today...
