Corrected entry: During the men's final, play is not suspended until it is pouring rain. At Wimbledon, play is suspended as soon as it starts raining because the grass must be kept dry.

Corrected entry: During the men's final, play is not suspended until it is pouring rain. At Wimbledon, play is suspended as soon as it starts raining because the grass must be kept dry.
Correction: The heavy rain came on suddenly in the middle of a point, after Peter Colt asked for God's help. The umpire can only call that play is suspended after point has finished, they can't stop a point in progress, even if its very heavy rain.
