Andy Murray calls for more women on Centre Court in sexism row over scheduling 

Andy Murray has urged Wimbledon to begin play on Centre Court earlier as he became involved in a sexism row over the tournament scheduling.

Critics have complained that the All England Club’s show courts – Centre and Court One – are routinely hosting two men’s games and only one women’s match per day.

…Murray and Venus Williams led the calls for the tournament to begin holding four matches a day on the courts.

….Murray was one of a number of players who said the club needed to find a way to split the men’s and women’s matches fairly across the courts. 

…”I think ideally you would have two men’s and two women’s on Centre, potentially starting the matches a bit earlier would allow for that,” he said.
