I understand but why even have a roof then if you don't really want to utilize?

I just woke up. From glancing at a few different tennis forums it seems like some people are worried about Fed "keeping his back warm" during this break. Has he tightened up at all in this match? I only saw the last few games before the delay, and he looked fine IMHO. Also, seems like there's a little controversy over Murray getting favorable line calls

His voice bothers me. He tries to put tOO much drama, But that was a good piece.

Fed hasn't complained. He's going to get any close calls, there's no doubt about that. But I don't think it's anything over the top so far.
His back hasn't tightened. In fact, he's moving quite well right now. Had all the momentum in the world before the delay.

so close. murray essentially had 2 match points and he really should have won that 15-40.

This is ridiculous. It's fricking tennis, not basketball. Until Fed starts exhausting all 3 of his challenges on a regular basis it's a non issue.
If he was getting screwed times and time again and burning through challenges you might have a point.

Something about humidity. I actually don't understand the physics of it.
Better stated: the physics of it have never been explained when I was in earshot.
But I've heard several different announcers make the claim.

It wasn't my point Alejandro. I was asking because I haven't been awake, and people on various tennis forums who usually dislike Fed are not happy about the line calls

ready for this to start back up

If you close the roof and start playing RIGHT AWAY the surface will NOT be dry enough and the players will be slippin all over the place. I will say this. IF there is more than a 50% chance of rain, the roof should be closed BEFORE the match starts. I understand the tradition, BUT WTF??? You ruin the moment for the players and change how both players play.

well i could say that you asking implies that you think it has the potential of validity, but im too nervous / discouraged.
murray has to have the heart of a champ to come back from this downer.

They're pretty good about this whole rain thing at Wimbledon. The surface will be more than fine when they restart.

Difficult for people to bitch about line calls with hawk eye in place.
Perhaps they mean to write that they weren't happy about their penis size. "line calls" / "penis size"...i mean, who hasn't made that mistake.
