Tennis watch. Time is not too important in tennis.Their are time limits in tennis. Twenty-five seconds between points, 90 seconds between changeovers and a 120 second set break. Even these time limits are not strictly enforced. The only time statistic in tennis which is announced by the commentators is the length of time it took to finish a set (a long one usually means hard fought) or a match (where a long one usually means it was titanic). The only payer I recall wearing a watch to a professional tennis match is Justin Henin who sports a Rolex Yatchmaster of Datejust. I doubt she ever looks at it while playing though.
Richard Mille v. Casio. To see two watches on court is a rare event. Last night, Rafael Nadal, World No. 1, and Wimbledon's No. 2 seed, met wild card Kei Nishikori of Japan. It was a much more interesting match than the 6-2 6-4 6-4 score indicated. So it was Nadal v. Nishikori, and Richard Mille v. Casio. Rafael Nadal was sporting his US$525,000 Richard Mille RM27 wristwatch. Kei Nishikori was sporting a blue US$99 Casio G-Shock.

In the end, Rafeal Nadal and Richard Mille won the day, but Kei and his G-Shock gave them a good fight.
