'Raining' Wimbledon Victors

The player of the tournament so far is Mr.Rain.Whenever i checked for an update this week,there was Mr.Rain getting his name mentioned almost on every day.From the data that i could collect,this might well be one of the worst rain-affected wimbledon tournaments.

Nadal,the Prince of Clay, took five days to complete his third round match.No,no..dont expect an astonishing scorecard..It was a five setter for sure, and was a tougher round for Nadal, but his oppenent was not on the other side of the court. He had to face the most unpredictable and the popular star(Mr.Rain), who was simply unstoppable.

It must be really tiring and frustrating for the players, when u have frequent interruptions in your match and leading to a possibility of playing more than a match on a single day.Our prince of clay had to fight against the rain (8 rain-breaks in this match) for five days to come home victor.He must be hoping that his next round is not so tough!!!.He is one of those 'raining' wimbledon victors for the day.

This gives me some interesting Trivias:-
(1) Which was/were the wimbledon tournament(s) that Mr.Rain failed to attend
(2) Which was the most rain-affected wimbledon tournament?
(3) Which was the most rain-hit wimbledon match..Was that the one we discussed here?

Rain-gear should be a wonderful gift, for the ones coming up with the answers :)
