Novak Djokovic pleads with Wimbledon bosses to make Centre Court change

Novak Djokovic has called for Wimbledon to overhaul its scheduling and start play earlier on Centre Court so matches don't have to be played across two days.

Andy Murray's match with Stefanos Tsitsipas last week also had to be carried over into a second day, while Djokovic's third-round clash against Stan Wawrinka concluded with only 14 minutes to spare.
