Do they play on the middle Sunday this year? I know they did last year and manic Monday didnt happen as it used to, but cant remember if that was down to rain or a forever change?

It was introduced in 2022 as a permanent change. So yes.

No manic Monday, no all women's QFs and men's QFs being played on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively ( they scheduie to continue playing the separate halves of the singles draws through Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday ).

Not a British player issue but what a nonsense that Rinky Hijikata's Wimbledon could have ended at 9.30 pm tonight. Re-starting a match at 2 sets to zero and 5-4 in the third. He should not have been expected to try to return Ben Shelton's 140 mph service in near darkness. The tournament is on schedule. Why start a 3rd set when it is bound to be dark by the time it would end? This happens regularly at Wimbledon and it really should not!

Thanks Indy - I thought so but last couple of years havent paid too much attention to Wimbledon for one reason or another!
