Novak Djokovic took a two sets lead over Hubert Hurkacz in their Wimbledon last 16 clash on Sunday when play was halted ahead of a locally agreed night-time curfew.
Djokovic, playing his 100th match at the tournament, was 7-6 (8/6), 7-6 (8/6) ahead against the Pole when the match was suspended in time for the 11pm time limit.
The pair will resume on Monday with the winner to face Andrey Rublev for a place in the semi-finals.
Defending champion Djokovic is chasing a record-equalling eighth title at the All England Club and 24th career Grand Slam crown.
