another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/wimbledon\">Wimbledon<\/a> semi-final after taking a marathon first set 7-6 (12-10) against his Canadian opponent on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n<p>The Serbian received treatment for a left calf problem towards the end of the first set but still got his nose out in front on Centre Court.<\/p>\n<p>But the 25-year-old responded well and took the second 6-3, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/novak-djokovic\">Djokovic<\/a>\u2018s consistency began to wane.<\/p>\n<p>And soon after <a

He claimed that the roof was closed at around 8.30pm earlier on in the tournament and they could have played another set before taking that course of action.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic was heard saying during the BBC\u2019s coverage, \u201cWhy now? Why now? The other day you didn\u2019t want to close it until like 8.20-8.30pm and now you want to close it? You don\u2019t want to get to 8.30pm? It\u2019s 7.40pm now. We can play a whole set outdoors. We are an outdoor tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Jannik [Sinner], I don\u2019t care what happens with his matches, I\u2019m talking about our match right now. And you remember the first round? We didn\u2019t close it [the roof] until like 8.20-8.30pm. Now you want to close it at 7.40pm?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere\u2019s the consistency? You are so proud of your rules and you are not sticking to any kind of rules. You have no idea what the rule is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added,\u00a0\u201cNo, I am not happy!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The contest resumed in the third set just before 8pm.<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, Djokovic does have a point as Wimbledon officials have repeatedly stressed in the past that the tournament is an outdoor event, rather than using the roof as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic may also have been wary of the fact that his opponent has had a great deal of success on indoor courts.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, eight of his nine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\">ATP Tour<\/a> titles have come indoors.\u00a0However, the delay may have disrupted the Canadian\u2019s momentum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EXCLUSIVE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/novak-djokovic-25th-grand-slam-wimbledon-mark-philippoussis-exclusive\">Wimbledon: Mark Philippoussis makes telling Novak Djokovic comment<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018I am not happy\u2019 \u2013 Novak Djokovic issues furious complaint during Wimbledon quarter-final Richie Mills 07 Jul 2026 8:03 PM Novak Djokovic gestures during his match Novak Djokovic was caught remonstrating with Wimbledon officials during his quarter-final clash with Felix Auger-Aliassime.
