Wimbledon is in hot water again, and this time it’s not about Novak or Federer! The legendary Andy Murray just couldn’t keep quiet after the chaotic semi-final between Grigor Dimitrov and Jannik Sinner. Dimitrov stormed out of the gates, taking a 2-0 lead in sets, but then the drama exploded. At 2-2 in sets and 2-2 in games, Dimitrov felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and called for a medical timeout. And just when he had the momentum, the organizers decided to close the roof! Yes, you read that right — the roof! As if that was the most important thing at that moment. Murray slammed the decision on social media platform X (formerly Twitter): “So ridiculous to close the roof at this stage of the match. There was at least an hour of daylight left, and they decided to play under the roof. The tournament should be played outdoors, especially in moments like this!” Shortly after, Dimitrov, broken by pain and tears, retired from the match, emotionally saying goodbye to the crowd. But the question remains — did closing the roof kill his chance? And is Wimbledon losing its spirit because of decisions like this? This isn’t the first time organizers have interfered in the flow of a match like this, and Murray is the voice of reason reminding us that tennis isn’t just a sport, it’s a show for the fans. If this keeps up, soon we’ll be watching matches in closed arenas with no crowd, where everything is run by bureaucracy, not heart and passion. What do you think? Did the roof kill the match or did Dimitrov just have a bad day? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s for or against these kinds of calls!
