It's been a long time coming, but the day has finally come when Wimbledon would close the roof to avoid a rained out game.
It seems simple. Make a roof, and continue play. The players will undoubtedly prefer it, and many of the spectators will be no long hassled with the prospect of holding an umbrella for hours on end.
But wait, some people feel that some of the magic will be lost without the annoyance of the rain. Sometimes the rain could save a player that for one reason or another wasn't performing to his or her level. And sometimes the rain could put a damper on a players hot streak. Furthermore, some just feel that being rained on was part of the experience and that having no rain to worry about will rob the Wimbledon experience of some of it's charm.
So what do you think? If you think that Wimbledon is better off without the roof and that having a roof somehow takes away from the Wimbledon experience, vote "Agree".
If you think that Wimbledon is better off with the roof and those people whom oppose it, just need a little more time to warm up to the idea, vote "Disagree".

Wimbledon just won't be the same with the new roof attached.
