WIMBLEDON, England — A bid for a shocking upset at Wimbledon, or perhaps a remarkable recovery, was interrupted Monday when darkness interceded to produce a tennis cliffhanger that should be decided on Tuesday.
Top-seeded Novak Djokovic, staggered after two sets of overpowering serves from Kevin Anderson, regained his balance to even the match just before dark. Then, a few minutes after 9 p.m. local time, the match was suspended at two sets each, to be resumed Tuesday at 1 p.m. (8 a.m. Eastern).
Anderson won the first two sets, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (6), thanks in large part to his aggressive serve.
