nothing to do with rooting for rafa or djoker
at that match the roof continued to be closed on the grounds that it was closed when the match was suspended, so it shall be continued
however, the roof is used because of the rain.
when the match continued on the second day, not the same day, shall it be logical not to close it because
(1) it was played on the second day already, continuity shall not be taken into consideration; and
(2) even continuity shall be considered, why the playing condition in the first place (ie roof not closed) was not continued.

discuss or disgust
 
It’s been discussed a million times, why discussing it again ?

Yes, the roof on 1st day was used because of fading light....2nd day had no such issue so it should have continued with roof open.
 
Nadal came within a whisker of winning despite the roof closed on a sunny day, more luck for luckovic strikes again. He must be close to running out of his 9 lives.
 
The match was interrupted due to the night rest rule (valid in Wimbledon district) at 11 p.m. The next day, players were given the opportunity to play under an open roof, but they would both have to agree. Not surprisingly, Djoker decided to keep the roof closed. He took advantage of it.

It was not the first example, when the match took place under the roof in sunny weather, in 2012 several matches took place under a cloudy roof in sunny weather. The organizers this than justified by fear from the rain.

There was no possible fear of rain on the second day in 2018.

At that time, the procedure for resolving the roof situation was such that both tennis players had to agree to open the roof.

Organisers should hold the power and do what is logical , which is keep the roof open on a sunny day, outdoor match like the slams should be

He didn't lose because the roof was closed. He had a very slow start to the match. He was playing better on the second day and nearly won the match.

He would have won easily without the roof as the thing that saved Djokovic was free points on his serve.

I'm aware of why it happened, that doesn't make it any less stupid.

In other tournaments, the whole match would take place under the roof, because it would not be interrupted due to the local convenience store.

Tennis players must adapt to the circumstances of the match. And whoever adapts better to them wins.

But Nadal also had an advantage during Wimbledon - the great drought in the 2018 summer caused the courts to dry out, from which the balls bounced higher, Which strengthened Nadal's game. This helped him to fight his way to SF after 7 long years.

Comparing the natural weather which Nadal didn't need anyway to a senseless rule which was so stupid that the rule was immediately changed afterwards, makes a lot of sense.

The fact is this score: GSM Djokovic; 6-4, 3-6, 7-6(8), 3-6, 10-8.

The rest are just conjectures and disputes.

I'm not writing specifically about you, but generally about the part of Nadal fans who are still frustrated by the circumstances of the 2018 Wimbledon SF match. After all, you can see it in this thread on member @weakera.

The roof stayed closed on the grounds that it had to continue in the same way it had started.

However, there was a provision that required both players had to be asked about their opinions on the continuity of the closed roof.

If both players agreed on preferring it open, the roof would be open again, if both players agreed on preferring it closed, the roof would remain closed,
if one preferred a closed roof, and the other open, the roof would remain closed, based on the rule that the roof had to stay in the same way it had started.

Both players were asked about their preference, with Nadal saying he'd rather play with an open roof, and Djokovic saying he'd prefer keep the roof closed.

After hearing both opinions, the officials made a ruling, since one of the players didn't prefer it open, the roof ought to stay closed.

The roof stayed closed, because Djokovic preferred a closed roof.
================================================================================================

I don't know the current rules, probably have changed, there has been roof only since 2009, the have to provide a set of rules for the roof, unlike rules that
had been set in stone for decades, and make total sense, they made some rules that didn't make any sense, since the go against the spirit of the game,
that it's to be played outdoors.

If it's raining officials don't ask players their preferences, they just close the roof, when the weather is good, even if they started with rain, the roof should be open without asking the players their preferences, based on the ground that Wimbledon is an outdoor event.

Lol, so confirmed - atleast indoors grass Djokovic > Nadal
 
Does any of you whinners know what cloes roof does to the game? Its like night session in RG, it is neceserilly bad for Rafa. Closed roof makes olay slower, and bounce lower. So its not somethink too bad for Rafa.

it is THE MOST brainless decision among all their brainless decisions of the last 130 or whatever years of the tournament history.....a historical injustice which denied a genuinely humble person his rightfully deserved wimbledon title.....he din't even protest when they cruelly shut the roof and slowed down the playing conditions to suit the serbian.....disfuckingusting cheating......
