Organisers' corrective measures...
On a day the temperatures at Wimbledon touched a record 35.7 degrees Celcius, the Centre Court roof was closed before play started to protect the playing surface from the heat, but it was reopened in advance of the first match of the day, when Novak Djokovic was facing Jarkko Niemenen. Wimbledon only closes the roof during play for rain or bad light. Wimbledon chiefs also cut the capacity at the club by 1,000 to 38,000. "This is to make more space within the grounds, to make it more comfortable for the visitors. There will be more room, more space in the shade and easier access to the water fountains," a spokesman said.
