A World Class tournament deserves to run its course! And if that means financial compensation to the neighbours, then that is a comparatively small price to pay.

Exactly -it's only once a year for 2 weeks anyway. As you say most of the locals will probably be watching it too!
The longest ever final was 2009 -Federer -Roddick -brilliant stuff, didn't miss a minute -would probably have been interupted with this new rule.
The 2008 Nadal - Federer final lasted nearly 5 hours too (I watched it all!), it was a thrilling match and being interupted by rain would also have gone past the curfew if it had been in place.
Murray vs Cilic today - will be a tough match -looking forward to it. C'mon Andy!
