How many rain delays shall we expect at Wimbledon this year?

Question

When is the roof getting put in at wimby? next year

Answer 1

with the weather we've experienced so far i think at least 5 delays. unpredictable england.

Answer 2

i think the first week will have a lot of rain delays

(well i hope not).what i meant is maybe monday and tuesday or maybe wednesday will have rain delays.

I saw an article that 2008 wimbledon center court will  have a fixed roof.

Answer 3

Hello!

Rain delays? Every year there is rain delays and it is so annoying and has in the past really cost players. Do you remember Ivanisovic v Henman. The match went on over like 3 days. How can a player get momentum with these kind of delays? A tennis match should be how a player plays on the given day not over 3. This cost Henman a real chance of winning Wimbledon.

There is a temporary roof of centre court this year. Next year the permanent roof should be installed. This is such a good asset.

Answer 4

I'm going to be optimistic!  Due to climate change, and the weather in Europe, I'm predicting only one rain delay.

Answer 5

well, it rain a lot during rolland garros, and it usually it doesn't, so maybe we'll be lucky (less cross our fingers and toes) and won't rain much in london!!!

let's be possitive :)

Answer 6

I agree with Anna. It doesn't usually rain in Roland Garros. So hopefully, it doesn't rain in Wimbledon like it uses to.

Answer 7

Well Queens had all the sunshine and the weather has changed now that Wimbledon is on the way!!!! Dont suppose we can expect any better but they are only roofing the centre court and court number 1 aren't they?

And, yes, Nadal to win. He's brill

Answer 8

Wimbledon usually has an average of 2 to 3 rain delays every year.  So I would expect about 2 to 3 if not more :)

Answer 9

who cares..

Answer 10

alot...there is always so much rain

Answer 11

"The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!" :)))

Dunno. It would be good if it didn't fall at all, but, that's almost impossible so..it sucks. :(
