Ben Shelton took to the court today to close his match against Hijikata and spent much more time warming up than competing. He didn't need a single point in play to secure his spot in the third round of Wimbledon 2025 and, in the press conference, he explained why his match was suspended on Thursday when he was just one game away from victory. "The reason wasn't the lack of light, but that the electronic line-calling system would stop working in five minutes, including the game breaks. I told them I only needed one game and it would take a minute, but they didn't want to risk it malfunctioning midway through the game," said the American.
