Fans were left disappointed on Sunday when play was stopped for the day. Neither player was injured and the fans were engaged, but the game was suspended because it had come up against the tournament’s curfew. So what is the curfew at Wimbledon?
Neither player was injured and the fans were engaged, but – like Andy Murray a few days prior – the game was suspended because it had come up against the tournament’s curfew. What is the curfew at Wimbledon? Unlike other grand slams, play at The All England Lawn Tennis Club is capped to finish at a certain time. The outside courts stop play when light becomes an issue but on the show courts – Centre and No.
There was little to separate Murray and Tsitsipas when they did take to the court. And after Murray had won the third set to take a 2-1 lead, the match was stopped approximately 20 minutes before the curfew. Play eventually resumed on Friday only after No. 1 seed Carlos Alcaraz had completed his second-round match. The break seemed to work in Tsitsipas’ favor as he won the two remaining sets to advance to the next round.
