Wimbledon has picked up its grace as thr retractable roof on completion in centre court. The system worked perfectly and the legends played on the centre court after a very long interval. The roof has been in operation from sunday officially and it takes around 10 minutes to complete the whole ground and it takes another 30 minutes for maintaining the playing environement inside the roof.
Graf said it is really nice to play in the closed environment and it increase the pressure. It will be definite treat for the crowd when two tough players play all round the ground. On sunday Tim Henman and Kim clijsters were facing Agassi and Graf in the doubles and they also play singles match. To kick off the event, the sliding roof slowly started unfolding with a soft whirring in an afternoon ceremony as British singers Faryl Smith and Katherine Jenkins sang "Amazing Grace" in the center of the court.
The guest Boris Becker were given with a fine applausing as the game progresses. There were 15,000 spectators enjoying alroung the ground. As the two-parted roof closed without a hitch, it was greeted by a thunderous applause.
Then shortly after the tennis began, as if on cue, it started to rain. Not that anyone inside the stadium noticed. In the match agassi defeated Henman 6-4 , graf lost to Kim clijster 6-4 , in the doubles agassi , graf lost to Henman and kim clijsters . Everyone were aware that it is definitely going to be a treat for the audience as the match progresses.
