Wimbledon (AP): Former Wimbledon champions Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf will return to the All England Club in May to try out the playing conditions under the new Centre Court roof.
Agassi and Graf, who are now married, will join Kim Clijsters and Tim Henman for a series of exhibition matches on May 17.
The event is designed to test the new roof and air management system with live matches in front of a capacity crowd of 15,000. The program will feature a men's singles, a women's singles and a mixed doubles match.
Tickets will cost 35 pounds ($50). The new sliding roof will help alleviate Wimbledon's perennial rain delays. The Wimbledon tournament will be held from June 22-July 5.
