Question over Wimbledon schedule after second-day rain delays
The Centre Court roof policy was handled poorly by Wimbledon organisers on Tuesday, which resulted in an 80-minute delay in Novak Djokovic’s opening match. On Monday, while Djokovic was up a set, the retractable roofâan expensive construction in 2009âwas shut down because of a light drizzle. Play, however, was not resumed because of the slick grass. The delay extended despite efforts to dry the court, including Djokovic’s lighthearted use of a towel and ground staff’s usage of leaf blowers, leaving both players and the fans perplexed.

Djokovic, Pedro Cachin, and the audience were all perplexed by the lengthy wait, especially because play quickly began on Court 1. In the end, Djokovic won 6-3, 6-3, 7-6(4) when the roof was opened again.
The tournament’s administrators stressed that player safety was their first priority in reaction to the incident. They said that after rain delays, every step is taken to guarantee court eligibility. Centre Court, on the other hand, took longer than anticipated to dry in this case. The decision was taken to restart play with the roof open while keeping the players continuously updated because it was anticipated that the rain would stop soon.
The roof’s effectiveness will be put to the test once more as rain is forecast throughout the day. Elena Rybakina, the reigning women’s champion, is slated to compete on Centre Court, and the match will likely take place beneath a covered roof.
