one question, what's going on this year with the roof?, did they play with the roof today? if so why?, and now the next match?, this Wimbledon has been an indoor tournament so far.

Today's not raining and i think (that's why i'm asking) that the match between Roger and Novak was played with the roof, and now they open the roof for the next match??.

Sure Fed was happy to play with the roof though

any rule about this??, who decides?

I think they use the weather prediction by the time the match start. But not sure about that.

so is it possible that even if it's not raining they close the roof to prevent stop in case it starts raining??

Well Wimbledon are in direct contact with the Met Office which is the official weather people for our country and they advise the Wimbledon officials who then make the decision to either keep it open or close it.

Down in SW19 it was raining and they didn't want to delay the match to close the roof when the rain came so they kept it closed. Now it has finished raining they are opening the roof as the officials keep saying "It is an outdoor tournament" They never wanted to close the roof anyway, it's just so these matches can get finished on time.

BTW, did anyone realize that Djoko had more UE on backhand then Fed? Hard thing to see nowadays...

by **Moralspain** » Fri, 06 Jul 2012 15:55

ok, got it

It was raining for about 15 minutes and now the the rain has passed its real sunny and humid, I tell you the weather is crazy over here

The whole match was disappointing, no comparison between their 2011 RG semi. Fed won by virtue of his better serve and making less UE's.

The Nole drop shot that just rolled over the net cord in the last game was really a small shocker.

Pete has at least 1 record that is pretty untouchable

Andy is hitting some great passing shots this first set

Edit; Murray takes first set 6-3
second set 6-4

by **Corbon** » Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:24

Let's just assume that Murray is gonna win it all, I wonder if the Queen is going to make him an MBE or better.
