Had to sign in. Sorry I've been so absent this year. CRIPES whatamatch! Del Potro is a hero.

Crowd very quiet suddenly

Against Baghdatis last year, Murray got to play until 11pm but I wasn't sure whether the roof was already on when they started.

I like Baghdatis- he's all hairy.Blush

PetiteRaleuse · 05/07/2013 17:20

I hope they do put the roof on it would be very unfair for him to have to finish his match tomorrow

M watching cars Angry

Would it be bad to go upstairs and watch it in bed leaving ds downstairs?

BBMs · 05/07/2013 17:21

No more pills!

I think, if I remember correctly, with roof shut they can play to 10.30/11pm but not later as transport will stop so people at game unable to go home. They mentioned this last year.

Raahh · 05/07/2013 17:22

Glaikit no

tbh- I think it's unfair on the women if their final is over-shadowed by a men's semi. The atmosphere is never quite the same.

OliviaYouCannotBSeriousMumsnet · 05/07/2013 17:23

Late to thread.
Are we cheering potato as underdog then?

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 05/07/2013 17:23

Witt I think they have done that in the past and played until almost 11pm.

In fact wasn't that a Murray match?

Raahh · 05/07/2013 17:23

sieze- i think it was also part of the planning permission for the roof, that they couldn't play later because of the locals.

Raahh · 05/07/2013 17:24

Olivia- most of us were supporting Del Potato anyway. And he's doing us proudGrin

siezethenight · 05/07/2013 17:24

Nope - we are cheering potato because we think he is lush, hot, stunning... You name it, we love him olivia

GlaikitFizzog · 05/07/2013 17:24

Yes raahh I remember that Murray game and they were talking about when they will stop if it didn't end and they checked and got told it had to stop by 11pm for locals and transport - it finished at 11.10, didn't it?

Stila · 05/07/2013 17:26

Once the light starts to go they will make a decision about the roof .They will want it finished tonight and they will also want the winner to have tomorrow free

The 11pm stop is also because its a residential area
