What's the point in Wimbledon?

[Rue]

Why the hell don't they cover the courts at Wimbledon? I mean it's just ridiculous. It seems as though Wimbledon is just an excuse to watch endless replays of 1970s matches while it pisses down with rain over South London Somebody please tell me why they don't build roofs!

They are going to build a roof over centre court in the next 5 years. Although all the other courts are still open. Court No1 was rebuilt a few years ago and that was an ideal opportunity to put a roof on it. But did they? Nooo.

Why would the owners want to build a roof in an area that recieves lots of rainfall? Why why???
