“The conditions were really good,” Clijsters said.
“And I love the sound. Wimbledon already had that, where you feel like when (the crowd is) really into the match, the sound really comes down to the players."
“And now even more so with the roof. For the players, it just feels like they’re right there next to you.”Agassi also said the closed surrounding will take the atmosphere to a new level.
“The sound was magnificent,” he said.The roof was built to limit the frequent rain delays that occur at the Wimbledon Championships each season.
“I think when you get two people out there who can really play, and move and hit the ball, I think you’re going to feel a level of titanic battle that you haven’t seen yet. … That’s an environment that lends itself to some spectacular tennis.”
“It’s beautiful,” said Andy Murray, who hopes to become the first Briton since Fred Perry in 1936 to win Wimbledon.The roof takes about 10 minutes to close, and the Centre Court’s ventilation system then needs about 30 minutes to get moisture out of the air and create the right conditions.
“It looks very nice, compared to most roofs.”
