- Wimbledon is the only grand slam tennis tournament where there are restrictions against late-night finishes due to the tournament’s strict 11pm curfew.
- The curfew was implemented in 2009 following the opening of the Centre Court roof, primarily due to planning conditions set by Merton Council.
- The rule dictates that matches are not permitted to continue beyond 11pm local time.
- Numerous high-profile matches, including those featuring Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, have been suspended due to the curfew.
- In 2012, the curfew was pushed back slightly for Andy Murray's match against Marcos Baghdatis that concluded at 11.02pm. Murray was just one game from victory at 11pm.
