Absolutely senseless the situation of not having illuminated courts in Wimbledon 2025. The last match of the day on the outdoor courts was interrupted with the score of 6-2 7-5 5-4 with Ben Shelton serving in his duel against Hijikata. The available light was pushed to its limit, and the American even had match points, but his frustration with the decision of chair umpire Nacho Forcadell to postpone the match resolution to Friday generated a great deal of disappointment for Shelton.
Ben Shelton is understandably upset as the referee suspends play at 9:30 pm (probably later than they should have - pretty dark).

But he had three match points at *3-5 on Hijikata's serve, and couldn't convert.
