The Wimbledon roof was closed due to sun setting and the darkness quickly expected to take over the All England Club. Andy Murray was carrying all the momentum after winning the third set in grand fashion. He will now look to wrap up the match as the fourth set has begun as Murray leads Jerzy Janowicz two sets to one.
The problem with the roof closing was all about timing. Because of the Novak Djokovic vs. Juan Martin Del Potro semifinals match that took close to five hours to complete, the Murray vs. Janowicz match got an extremely late start. It took Murray a while to get things going in his match as he lost the first set.
However, as the match progressed, Murray began to dominate and ironically, it was the Scot who had out-aced the Pole through the first three sets of the match. Janowicz was conscious of how strong Murray was getting and began asking the chair umpire about the lighting in the arena. The umpire told Janowicz that the lights only turned on when the roof was closed.
Janowicz was cruising in the third set, up 4-1, when Murray roared back winning five straight games, taking the set 6-4. The Pole proceeded to walk out of the court and the league officials approached Murray to announce the closing of the roof. Murray, of course, with momentum on his side, did not want the game to be delayed. He had just stole a set from Janowicz and was aware of the Pole's complaints to the umpire regarding the light.
Almost 25 minutes after the end of the third set, the players are back on the court and Murray has a 2-1 lead after breaking Janowicz.
