The grand slam Wimbledon's organizers consider the world financial crisis can not influence this championship, regardless of what happens to the economy.

- We are in the best position, against others - a representative of the English tennis federation, Tima Philips says. We are lucky because the demand on tickets is much higher than the offer. The tournament's contracts with its sponsors will terminate only in a couple of years, while the contract on broadcast was concluded for an even longer period of time, and there is no need to reconclude it in the nearest future.

Also, Philips said that the main court will be supplied with a sliding roof.
