Novak Djokovic has won his last twenty -five games at Wimbledon, undefeated on the grass since beating Croatian Marin Cilic in the final of the Queen’s ATP Tour in London in 2018. He is chasing a seventh title, which is the equivalent William Renshaw and Pete Samprasto be one of the records of Roger Federer. He is a heavyweight at the All England Club, of which he is a member like other Grand Slam champions.
Wimbledon is the favorite tournament of the Serbian, 35 years old and world number 3, but he publicly criticized the schedule on the center court. “And I think most players would probably agree with games that start earlier.”
The ‘Cathedral’ activity will open on 13:30 local time, usually scheduling three individual battles. As the day progresses, the assembly must be stopped to close the roof, an important step to activate artificial lighting.
“The conditions change, the style of play, the way you move. The grass is smoother. The lights. It makes it an indoor tournament on many occasions. That’s what we saw in the game. Tsitsipas and Kyrgios or also in the case of Nadal (against Sonmego), ”said Djokovic, who also experienced a similar situation against Dutchman Tim Van Rijthoven.
Nada pointed out that “I played very little time with the ceiling two days ago, hard to assess. And the last time I was with Novak in a strange situation. I played with the ceiling and it didn’t stop me from playing good game, just like him. The other was a tad better than me. With a roof it’s a little bit more wet and the track becomes a bit more slippery. And Novak with Tim fell a few times, so it’s more slippery. “
Djokovic acknowledged that his situation in the round of 16 would be anomalous “because it was a special occasion to celebrate the hundred years of the track”, an action that almost cost ‘Nole’ to not end his fight because the game stopped at eleven o’clock in the evening. This is a sacred rule for the organization in favor of neighbors.
Djokovic reminded that Wimbledon is an outdoor tournament and not ‘indoor’. Another issue is when it rains, and the roof saves the sun. “There was some talk about the possibility of advancing the start to the middle. That’s what my coach told me (Goran Ivanisevic), though I don’t know who heard of it. I think we’ll see, why not start half an hour or an hour earlier? It would be helpful not to use the roof for lighting, especially now that there are interviews on the track after the match, which did not happen before. “
This year’s Wimbledon ended in the tradition of a break on the first Sunday. Changes are not a utopia like decades ago. The track 1, which also has a retractable cover, its program will begin half an hour before, at one o’clock.
