I heard Wimbledon will henceforth have a roof for the playing area!! Oh what a catastrophe!! I agree it is the right decision as far as cmmercialization is concerned. Just think about the huge cost and loss whenever matches are delayed and schedules jeopardised. Also on the flip side, remember that the rain has always made changes in results. That is one thing that no one can change. Who knows:Fedex had the momentum in the 5th set, but down came the rain!! And so did Federer. Would we have a winner in our era who won back-to-back French as well as Wimbledons? *** And now for the mother of all rain delays!! One of Wimbledon's favourite children (reached the finals thrice, as well as some hard-fought semifinals) had finally reached another semifinal, now as a wild-card entrant!! The old pilgrim managed to beat many of the stars - upcoming as well as previous. This was probably his last bid at the title, and what rejuvenated him was that his nemesis had lost - to a then unknown fellow called "Roger" with a pony-tail. Goran Ivanisevic played the semifinals against Tim Henman. It was a clash between Henman Hill and another who had conquered the hearts of Wimbledon!! Henman lost the first set, and won the next two, the 3rd set at 6-0!! Just when there was no hope left for Goran, down came the rain!! The next day, the unerring aces were back, and that was the end of Tim Henman!! Think - would the tournament have been complete if Goran went home that year without winning anything?
