WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND - Rain prevented any men&#39;s singles matches from being completed Wednesday at Wimbledon. The fourth rain delay of the day ended play at the All-England Championships. <br> <br> Only two of Wednesday&#39;s four scheduled quarterfinals were started. Thirteenth-seed Sebastien Grosjean of France leads Britain&#39;s tenth-seeded Tim Henman two sets to one, with the score currently 7-6, 3-6, 6-3, 1-2. <br> <br> Alexander Popp won the first two sets against Mark Philippoussis 6-4, 6-4, but then Philippoussis responded by winning the third and fourth sets 6-3, 6-3. They&#39;re tied 2-2 in the decisive fifth set, with Philippoussis serving and leading 30-love. <br> <br> Fifth-seed Andy Roddick and Sweden&#39;s Jonas Bjorkman didn&#39;t start their match. Neither did fourth-seed Roger Federer and eighth-seed Sjeng Schalken. <br> <br> Everything not completed Wednesday is pushed back to Thursday.
