Novak Djokovic has called for the start of play on Centre Court to be moved forward, following scheduling issues that led to his fourth-round match falling foul of an 11pm curfew.
On Monday the Wimbledon champion completed victory against the Polish No 17 seed Hubert Hurkacz in four sets, 7-6, 7-6, 5-7, 6-4, after the game was suspended overnight. Djokovic said uncertainty over when matches will take place has affected his preparations and that start times should be brought forward from 1.30pm to midday.
