The New Roof At Wimbledon Is Cool…
The new retractable roof at Wimbledon is cool. One June 29th during the Dinara Safina and Amelie Mauresmo match a bit of rain came down on center court. There was little hesitation from the officials to close the new roof over center court for the first time.
The powers that be at Wimbledon were so excited to show off that new roof. They not only wanted to avoid a lengthy delay in play, but they wanted to make darn sure that Andy Murray would play that evening. With all the Murray mania in the UK right now there was no way they would let the fans down.
I have to admit it was pretty cool. I have been watching Wimbledon since I was a kid and I know how frustrating the rain delays can be as a fan.
It takes about 10 minutes to close the roof, but it seemed much longer the first time. The crowed cheered loudly and it was quite the event!
