Tennis fans and players will be gearing up for the quarter-finals at Wimbledon. Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic will take on Russian seventh seed Andrey Rublev in the last eight on Tuesday.
Djokovic joined fans in calling for Wimbledon to start play earlier on Centre Court after finishing his suspended game against Hubert Hurkacz on Monday afternoon.
He told reporters: “I think the matches could be pushed at least to start at 12pm. I think it would make a difference.” Complaints poured in on social media from fans keeping up with the tournament who expressed “frustration” at high profile matches being suspended overnight.
Matches involving Sir Andy Murray and Djokovic have both been forced into a second day during this year’s tournament because they have not finished before the council-imposed 11pm curfew.
