So whats going to happen? Are the courts dried up? Please someone tell us!?

In Dubai, they wait for it to stop raining. Then, they use all sorts of things to dry the court: from leaf blowers to towels and everything in between. Yesterday, once they finished drying the court (which takes 30-45 minutes), it started raining just as the players were starting to come out on court. :mad:

:yawn: :zzz:

still raining ??? :mad:

Why don't they have roof ;)

Is it still raining?

it's rainning currently?

updates? :confused:

Why don't they have roof ;)

Because it hardly ever rains in Dubai....this is like a phenomenom....

Dubai, UAE -- 10:43 AM GST Updated: 10:30 AM GST
Temp: 64F/18C Humidity: 88%
