There will be one change at the All England Club in 2009 if you have a ticket to Centre Court this year as you can wave goodbye to those annoying rain delays that have become so predictable. The new retractable roof is finally ready and will be used for the first time in this years tournament meaning there will be guaranteed tennis all day long.
The roof itself is state-of-the-art and is designed to allow the grass to get enough light even if it is shut for long periods. Should a rain delay occur then the players will go off and the roof will take a total of ten minutes to fully shut before play can resume on Centre Court.

It will be interesting to see what affect if any the roof will have on play but it is almost certain to increase atmosphere as when shut it will create a cauldron like effect. The roof also means that play will be able to continue to 10pm each day should it be required too.
