Jamie Murray, Andy Murray's older brother and a two-time Wimbledon mixed doubles champion, pointed to factors such as the extended daylight the tournament typically enjoys in the summer when talking about potential changes, per BBC Sport:
"They're desperate to have their event on, it's still over three months away and a lot can change in that time.
For them, optics don't necessarily look great, I guess, if there's sporting events all over the world getting cancelled and they're trying to crack on with things.
"There's a lot of other stakeholders, a lot of other tournaments to consider. Even things like daylight for the tournament. Once the tournament gets put back, there's less and less daylight. When you play at Wimbledon normally, you can play until 10 at night."
