💨 Abstract

During Wimbledon, a second-round match between Ben Shelton and Rinky Hijikata was suspended due to poor light, despite Shelton being on the verge of winning. The decision was criticized by Shelton and former champion Boris Becker, who questioned the need to halt play when both players wanted to continue. Shelton won the match quickly upon resumption. Tournament director Jamie Baker defended the call, citing safety concerns due to darkness.
