LONDON (AP) Playing under a closed roof for the final 20 minutes because of darkness, Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo won the men’s doubles title at Wimbledon on Saturday by beating Oliver Marach and Mate Pavic 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 (2), 3-6, 13-11.
The match lasted 4 hours, 40 minutes, only 21 minutes shorter than the longest men’s doubles final in history.
The roof over Centre Court, which was closed for the women’s final earlier in the day, was open at the start of the men’s doubles match. But at 8:40 p.m., the roof was closed again because of darkness.
