Murray Slams Wimbledon Over Controversial Roof Closure

Andy Murray has strongly criticized Wimbledon officials for closing the Centre Court roof during Jannik Sinner's last 16 match against Grigor Dimitrov, arguing it was unnecessary given the ample daylight. Murray, joined by John McEnroe and Greg Rusedski, felt the decision disrupted Dimitrov's momentum when he was leading by two sets and that it undermined the tournament's outdoor tradition. In response, Tim Henman and others defended the closure, citing consistency and improved playing conditions. Rusedski also suggested the change favored Sinner, who had been struggling beforehand. The match ended with Dimitrov retiring due to a pectoral injury, sparking renewed debate about fairness and operational decisions at Wimbledon. The All England Club's shift to a more proactive roof closure policy remains controversial among players and analysts.
