Novak Djokovic-Rafael Nadal semifinal halted by Wimbledon curfew

Friday's second Wimbledon men's semifinal between world No. 1 Rafael Nadal and three-time champion Novak Djokovic was suspended after three sets due to the community's 11 p.m. curfew.

It will resume Saturday.

The last men's semifinal to be finished on Saturday was in 2007 between none other than Nadal and Djokovic. Djokovic retired in that match due to a toe blister

Play was halted Friday after 2 hours, 54 minutes, with Djokovic leading two sets to one, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (9).

The two didn't begin their semifinal until after 8 p.
