Rain wipes out men's Day 6 at Wimbledon

Wimbledon, England (Sports Network) - Eight third-round matches were on Saturday's schedule at Wimbledon, and all eight were wiped out because of rain at the All England Club.
Rain has now interrupted play on five of the first six days of this 2007 fortnight.
No less than 12 seeded players were on the Day-6 schedule, including No. 2 Spaniard Rafael Nadal, fourth-seeded Serbian Novak Djokovic and former Wimbledon champion Lleyton Hewitt.
The reigning three-time French Open titlist and 2006 Wimbledon runner-up Nadal was scheduled to meet 28th-seeded Swede Robin Soderling, but they'll have to wait until Monday, as Sunday marks the traditional day of rest at the year's third Grand Slam event.
Nadal lost to reigning four-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer in last year's finale here.
Djokovic was slated to meet German Nicolas Kiefer, while a 16th-seeded Hewitt was supposed to battle 22nd-seeded Argentine Guillermo Canas on Day 6. The former world No. 1 Hewitt is a two-time major titlist, including a Wimbledon championship in 2002. The fiery Aussie is the last man to title here besides the amazing Federer.Seventh-seeded Czech Tomas Berdych was leading Korean Hyung-Taik Lee 6-4, 2-3 when their bout was suspended due to inclement weather. They were the only men to take to the courts here on Saturday.
Other bouts washed away on Saturday had sixth-seeded Russian Nikolay Davydenko going up against Frenchman Gael Monfils, 10th-seeded Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis taking on 23rd-seeded Argentine David Nalbandian, 14th-seeded Russian Mikhail Youzhny meeting 18th-seeded Finn Jarkko Nieminen and 19th-seeded Swede Jonas Bjorkman tangling with Aussie Wayne Arthurs. Nalbandian was the '02 Wimbledon runner-up to Hewitt.
