Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray agree that Australian Open organisers need to review the tournament schedule, so night-time matches don't finish as late as the morning.
"Finishing matches at four in the morning isn't good for the players. I would also argue it's not good for the sport, [or] anyone involved in it."
"I think if you did that, you could also potentially bring [forward] the night sessions slightly earlier as well, like [starting at] 6pm or 6:30pm. "I think that players' input is always important for tournament organisation," Djokovic said after his third-round win over Grigor Dimitrov on Saturday night.
"For us, it's gruelling. Even if you go through and win … in these kind of matches, you still have to come back.
