Wimbledon's new Centre Court roof has been brought into action for the first time at the grass-court tournament.

Rain interrupted the second set of the women's fourth-round match involving top seed Dinara Safina and former champion Amelie Mauresmo on Monday.

Reported to have cost £80m, the roof was not used during the first week of Wimbledon due to the good weather.

But after taking advice on the weather prospects, officials decided the roof should be closed.

Andy Murray earns a dramatic floodlit five-set win over Stanislas Wawrinka in Wimbledon's latest-ever finish.

Andy Murray's floodlit Wimbledon epic on BBC One attracts a peak audience of 11.8m people, overnight figures show.

I believe it was a good marathon of a match.

I love the Williams sisters, but I like Venus best.  Wish she could have taken it, but there is always next year.
