LONDON: Wimbledon’s traditional ‘Middle Sunday’ of rest will disappear in 2022, as will the ‘Manic Monday’ that follows it.
For one last time, the oldest Grand Slam tournament was quiet as first week of this year’s edition ended. And for one last time, the second week will begin with a bevy of action, the only major to schedule all 16 women’s and men’s fourth-round singles matches on the same day.
“I think I will miss it, to be honest,” 2018 champion Angelique Kerber said.
Get ready for a packed scheduled on Monday that includes teenagers Coco Gauff and Emma Raducanu, world number one Ash Barty and Kerber in women’s matches, along with Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, a total of eight of the top 10 seeds and 20-year-old American Sebastian Korda in men’s matches.
