Michael in YorkSeven-time Wimbledon winner Djokovic may only be the sixth seed at this year's tournament, but his status as a legend of the sport means big crowds are still very keen to watch him - more so than some of his higher-ranked rivals.That means that, more often than not, he is given highest billing.The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC), which operates the Championships, told the BBC: "The scheduling of the order of play each day is a complex operation.
