Roof closed. Djokovic vs. Nadal starting. 2eO4B1g.png 

 

This I didn't really like. There is an inherent flaw with the roof being closed at the Center Court is heat. Nadal was practically drenched in sweat. Too much heat gets trapped. It also makes the grass drier in the long run making it easily detachable from the surface. Bare spots make it tougher for the players to play.
