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. 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. “We have some of the best fans in the world and are grateful for their passion and dedication, and we thank them for their understanding and respect for the athletes.” Ms Bolton did not seem to view the issue of the late finishes as a particular problem, telling reporters on Monday morning: “Historically over many, many decades we’ve always started play on our show courts around early afternoon. We’re seeing viewing figures that are beyond our expectations and beyond previous years so I think they probably speak for themselves.” Elsewhere in the tournament on Monday, wildcards Naiktha Bains and Maia Lumsden became the first all-British pair to reach the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon women’s doubles in 40 years, hailing the achievement as “surreal”.
