Absolute joke! 
Medvedev was up 6-2, 6-7 (2/7), 6-3, 3-4 on Monday when rain disrupted play on Court 2.
Medvedev and Hurkacz will now have to come back today to compete the match, with the winner forced to play their quarter-final on tomorrow.
That means the eventual winner will be forced to play three days in a row against a refreshed Roger Federer in the quarters.
World No.2 was forced to play on the outside court without a roof, and the match was suspended due to rain.
Despite Centre Court (with a roof) being free after Federer’s match and around two hours left before the 11pm curfew, officials decided not to move the Medvedev match in order to complete it.
The decision not to move Medvedev’s match indoors is a disgrace.
Bad scheduling! 
Disadvantage to winner- Medvedev/Hurkacz!

British teenager Emma Raducanu has broken her silence after her dramatic exit from Wimbledon, revealing she ‘started breathing heavily and felt sick’ and thinks ‘the whole experience caught up with me’. It was an unforgettable, roller coaster first Wimbledon experience for Emma .
Andy Murray and Marcus Rashford defended Ema, reached out to her and challenged Piers Morgan and Kevin Pieterson’s tweets.
McEnroe was criticized for suggesting that Emma Raducanu found playing in the last 16 of Wimbledon “a little too much”.
“I feel bad for Emma, obviously,” said McEnroe. “It appears it just got a little bit too much, as is understandable, particularly with what we’ve been talking about this over the last six weeks with Osaka not even here.
“How much can players handle? It makes you look at the guys that have been around and the girls for so long – how well they can handle it. Hopefully she’ll learn from this experience.”
McEnroe’s inconsiderate comments just reflects his inhumane character rather than Emma’s weakness.
