The All England Lawn Tennis Club unveiled its new retractable roof on Tuesday, ushering in a new era at The Championships that will allow for play to continue on Wimbledons famed Centre Court regardless of rain or poor lighting. Both played factors in last years Championship match between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer that spanned more than seven hours including rain delays, and concluded at 9:15pm.
The translucent roof takes up to 10 minutes to fully close, and another 20 minutes is needed for the air-management system to stabilise the internal environment to ensure proper playing conditions. The new floodlights further assist in recreating an outdoor atmosphere, while making it possible for matches to continue into the night.
An all-star line-up of Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, Kim Clijsters and Tim Henman will test the new roof and air-management system with live tennis in front of a capacity crowd of 15,000 at the Centre Court Celebration on May 17th.
Ian Ritchie, Chief Executive of the All England Club, said: The new Centre Court roof project has been a sophisticated engineering feat. Much of the testing is complete and we are now making final adjustments ahead of the Centre Court Celebration event on 17 May. That event is an important part of the testing procedure and will enable us to see how both the roof and air-management system actually perform under live conditions with a capacity crowd.
Also Tuesday, the All England Club announced an increase in its prize money levels for the 2009 Championships. The singles champion will earn £850,000, an increase of £100,000 from last years winners check. Total prize money for this years Championships, which begins June 22nd, has risen by 6.2 per cent to £12,550,000.
The four wild cards have been attributed for the first round of the ATP Masters 1000 Internazionali BNL d'Italia, and local fans will be more than happy with the tournament organisers' choices. Filippo Volandri, Flavio Cipolla, Potito Starace and Fabio Fognini are the four players all Italian who missed out on direct acceptance but who will nevertheless be in the first round, along with the top 44 players in the ATP rankings.
That brings the number of Italian players to six, with Andreas Seppi and Simone Bolelli having secured their places by direct acceptance.
Murray Joins Beckham In "Malaria No More UK" Campaign
Two of the UKs top sporting heroes England international footballer, David Beckham, and Britains top tennis player, Andy Murray, took centre stage at Wembley Stadium, to mark the launch of Malaria No More UK a not-for-profit organisation, committed to ending suffering and death caused by malaria, a preventable disease. The event took place on the same day as their meeting with Prime Minister Gordon Brown at No. 10 Downing Street.
Malaria threatens half of the worlds population and those most vulnerable are pregnant women and children. In Africa, malaria kills one child every 30 seconds; it kills more children under five than any other single disease.
But malaria is preventable and treatable. One of the most effective means of stopping suffering and death from malaria is to invest in preventative measures now. Blanketing Africa with mosquito nets is one of the most simple and effective ways to help prevent the spread of malaria and yields life-saving results. In recent years countries such as Rwanda, Ethiopia and Eritrea have successfully used bed nets, insecticides and access to medicines to cut malaria deaths by over 50%.
Beckham and Murray are members of the Malaria No More UK Leadership Council and played against one another at the world famous Wembley Stadium for a-once-in-a-lifetime sporting moment. They played football tennis, normal tennis, and keepie uppies with footballs and tennis balls over the worlds longest tennis net spanning 68 metres, produced out of blue mosquito net fabric. They moved onto football and took turns to take free kicks into the first ever blue mosquito goal net. While Andy passed on a few tennis tips to David, David let Andy into a few secrets on how to take the perfect free kick. The games symbolised the urgent need for bed nets for those who die from malaria.
Together these two sporting heroes are campaigning to raise awareness about malaria, starting with the simple message that for just £5 a bed net can be bought, transported and delivered to a family in Africa, so protecting a mother and child or brother and sister against malaria for up to five years. The ultimate goal: to ensure all those at risk of malaria in Africa have access to a bed net by the end of 2010.
David Beckham says: By creating awareness we can really make a difference. Days like today are so important. Its a real honour and a privilege for both Andy and me to get behind Malaria No More. When I went over to Sierra Leone as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, I saw the devastation that many diseases cause, but malaria is the biggest single killer for children under five. The statistics are really frightening.
Andy Murray says: Its great that were here to help with the campaign and make a difference. Malaria is preventable. The suffering and deaths it causes are so unnecessary especially because it is so cheap to make a difference just £5 to protect a family for up to five years.
Sarah Kline, Executive Director, Malaria No More UK says: We are thrilled that David and Andy have so generously given up their time to raise awareness about malaria. They are two of the worlds biggest names in sport and it is fantastic that they want to help us end suffering and deaths from malaria.
