Why does the roof make a difference?published at 08:47 Greenwich Mean Time 28 January 2018
Pat Cash
Former Wimbledon champion on BBC Radio 5 liveIt's an outdoor tournament - it's like Wimbledon. Why is the roof closed?
The way Roger plays, he swings so hard at the ball and takes it so early, any wind or variation of the ball moving will take it away from him. It's why he's one of the best players ever indoors.
There's no wind or heat, so it's not bouncing off higher. When it's hotter it jumps more. The only person who can match him with that is Rafa Nadal.
Once I saw the roof was closed I thought 'uh oh'.

Federer 4-0 Cilic*
It's easy pickings for Roger Federer right now, he makes it 40-0.
But there's the Marin Cilic that stormed his way into the final, a punchy forehand winner.
That's the only blemish on Federer's service game, he clicks up another gear and swats the Croat away.

Federer 0-0 Cilic*
Marin Cilic won the coin toss, backed himself to serve first and you can see why... a humdinger off the centre of the strings to start this Australian Open final that has too much sting for Roger Federer.
Federer gets to the next one, but the Croat eases into a 30-15 lead.
