Wimbledon should start matches earlier on Centre Court to avoid players falling foul of the strict 11pm curfew, defending champion Novak Djokovic said on Monday after needing two days two beat Hubert Hurkacz in the fourth round.
For the second match in succession the 36-yrear-old Djokovic faced a race against the clock to finish when he stepped on court at around 8.30pm on Sunday to face Hurkacz.
"Obviously curfew is probably something that is much more difficult to change, I understand, because of the community and the residential area we are in," the Serb told reporters. Britain's two-time champion Andy Murray was left frustrated when his second round match against Stefanos Tsitsipas was interrupted on Thursday night just after he had taken a two sets to one lead. On the resumption on Friday he lost in five sets.
Djokovic will not have any worries about curfews on Tuesday in what will be his 56th Grand Slam quarter-final.
