anyone certain change delay expected fantastic locker looking personally players rain room sweat time tough unprepared unsure watching
It's fantastic when you're done (and) you're watching everyone else in the locker room sweat it out, but it's very tough when rain interrupts play. A lot of time it can change the momentum. Players get stiff, you're always unsure of when it will stop. And I think certain players are personally unprepared for it at certain venues. At Wimbledon, you're always looking up, like, ?OK, one more game.' I don't think anyone would have expected a long rain delay here in the desert.
