[edit] Notable stories

[edit] Centre Court roof closed

The 2009 Championships coincided with an extended period of hot, dry weather in south-east England.^[1] This meant that it was only on day seven of the tournament (29 June) that the newly constructed Centre Court roof was closed for the first time due to rain, delaying a match between Amelie Mauresmo and Dinara Safina.^[2] The following match between Andy Murray and Stanislas Wawrinka was the first full-length match played under the new roof; thanks to the new floodlights, it was also the latest finish ever at Wimbledon, ending at 22:38. Murray won the match 6–3 in the fifth set. These were the only two matches in which the roof was used.

[edit] Roger Federer Wimbledon records

Swiss Roger Federer, actual ATP No. 1 (but No. 2 during the championship), established the following records at the 2009 Wimbledon Championships:

• On 1 July 2009, by defeating Croatian Ivo Karlović in the Wimbledon 2009 quarterfinals, Federer reached his 21st consecutive semi-final in Grand Slam tournament, having started the streak at Wimbledon in 2004.^[3]

• On 3 July 2009, by defeating 24th-Seeded Tommy Haas in the semi-final, Federer reached his 7th consecutive final at the Wimbledon Championships, an all-time record.^[4]

• On 3 July 2009, by defeating 24th-Seeded Tommy Haas in the semi-final, Federer reached his 20th Grand Slam final, an all-time record.

• On 5 July 2009, by defeating 6th-Seeded Andy Roddick in the final, Federer won his 15th Grand Slam title.^[5]

[edit] Highest TV ratings in the UK for a Wimbledon final since 2001

The men's final had the highest number of viewers in the UK of any Wimbledon final since 2001, peaking at 11.1 million viewers during the last stretch of the match.^[6]

[edit] 30 game fifth set in the men's final

The 30 game long fifth set in the men's final between Federer and Roddick was the longest in Wimbledon history.^[7]

[edit] Tennis Integrity Unit

The Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) planned to observe matches played by up to 12 players (some of whom were inside the ATP top 50) throughout the tournament. The TIU has existed since January 2008.

The ATP claimed to have identified Russian and Italian Mafia-related groups behind suspicious betting at other tournaments, although the organizers of the Wimbledon Championships declared that there are no current proceedings against any players.^[8][9]

[edit] Day-by-day summaries

[edit] Day 1 (22 June)

The first day of Wimbledon 2009 saw 2008 Men's Singles runner-up and five-time Wimbledon Champion Roger Federer open on Centre Court due to defending champion and number 1 seed Rafael Nadal withdrawing due to injury. Roger Federer got past the first round and in straight sets. Some of the day's winners were 2008 Australian Open Champion Novak Djoković, 2009 French Open finalist Robin Söderling, Fernando Verdasco, Marin Čilić, Ivo Karlović, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Mardy Fish and former French Open champion Guillermo Cañas. Nicolás Almagro survived a five set match against Juan Mónaco despite losing the first two sets 6–7(3) 6–7(7) 7–6(5) 6–4 8–6. Two matches were suspended in the first day: the matches between Michaël Llodra and Joshua Goodall, and Tommy Haas and Alexander Peya. However the first major upset of the tournament came when Italy's Andreas Seppi defeated Queen's Club finalist James Blake in straight sets 7–5 6–4 7–6(5).
