Novak Djokovic has called for earlier starts on show courts at Wimbledon after his last-16 win over Tim van Rijthoven on Sunday finished just 20 minutes before the 11pm deadline.
Play on Centre Court has been starting at 1.30pm each day, with the exception of Sunday as the time was pushed back due to the arena's centenary celebrations. It meant that despite winning in four sets, the Serbian didn't leave SW19 until gone midnight by the time he'd finished media duties.
The roof on Centre Court was initially installed to protect matches from being rained off, but is now also utilised to combat fading light. It means that play can potentially last until 11pm, with Andy Murray and Serena Williams two players to suffer late-night exits last week.
