The All England Club took the unusual decision to shut Centre Court roof to protect turf amid a safety row, report The Independent.
The last time the roof was closed for reasons other than heavy rainfall was in 2015, but clear skies and temperatures approaching the 30° symbol convinced the Wimbledon organisers to act.

Wimbledon?s grass courts came under fire on Thursday night. French player Kristina Mladenovic criticised the surface on Court 18 after her defeat by Alison Riske, claiming the court was not fit to be used.
