[Correspondent Kiu]

Only one match got carried over and this time it's ATP
We are back to normal schedule.

 

[Si Si Simona]

heavy rain and stormy weather in the weekend. not today. I hope they use the roof ffs, hard to tell with them.
they like it "fresh"

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Serena advanced easily, 1 and 1

 

[Si Si Simona]

Sick Gasquet. Lost 7 match points, 7-7 last set, it will go on for few more hours
They must move Simona match to court 1.
3 matches to play before she plays. crazy. Those Wimby chaps really dont like Simona. Playing mind games with her First they toy with her as TBA and now this farce. Ranked 3 in the world... conspiracy

update: :laydownlaughing crazy Gasquet lost 9 nine match points, decided its enough and gave away 8 points in a row faster than you can say Sloane and lost the match, insane match

Move Simo to court 1 idiots, she wont play today

 

[Si Si Simona]

Comn Irina Begu, beat petko and shock the world 3-5 down and serving. She is a very good doubles player

 

[Si Si Simona]

Poor Petko injured again but continues to play. Had a bad fall and hurt her knee. Looks ok now but you never know with her. Begu won 2nd set She has some weapons, she is a big girl and has more experience than it looks.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Watson now a set and a break down on Center :/

 

[Calvy]

Nice win Petro, how she does well.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Good second set from Heather to level it up but now down two breaks in the decider.

 

[Si Si Simona]

Brainless or evil? take your pick.

No chance of Simona match ending today unless they switch it to court 1 which will end its matches soon. Are they smart and fast enough to switch or just dont care?
A disgraceful treatment of NO.3 in the world for the second time in 3 days. I am mad
If it was me instead of Simona, the world would have known my opinion about it!
I would even throw a line like "if they dont want me here then I may just leave" or something like that
Unbelievable. They schedules 5 matches in total on court 2, and 3 matches on court 1. Two of the matches on court 1 are short women matches. Brainless or evil? take your pick.

^Well, there have been actual Wimby past champs who have have questionable court assignments and scheduling in the past, so, I'd say this minor in comparison, and these things happen, even to folks that have slams.

Its not normal and I dont think it happens two matches in a row for same player. As if there are not enough courts and time slots to give a ranked 3 a comfortable schedule. Its a joke. I dont ask for centre court, just a normal schedule on any court. They know very well that its not ok.
She will not play today, its too late and on a dry day with no rain. They are Idiots. There is no match played at the moment on court no.1. They have no clue, or they do it intentionally because they dont like her...

Calvy is correct: this is not unusual or atypical treatment. Try being a Nadal or Serena fan: you'll quickly realize this, but it is applicable to everyone.

Scheduling at majors is always a precarious situation, since it's a combined event, and you never know how long the men's matches will go since they're best-of-five. Throw in the rain, and all kinds of things can happen.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Bunch of matches got cancelled and a few are to be finished tomorrow.

As soon as we thought we may be back on schedule, it just went into shambles.

I was surprised FO went so smoothly, Wimby just hit a rainy road.

Her match got cancelled, she will have to play two days in a row, that's if the schedule goes without a glicth, rain tomorrow and who knows what happens.

They play back to back matches on the tour all the time, so, it shouldn't be to much of a toll.

It's not as if the women are playing best of five matches, and if I am correct, she's not playing doubles.

These things happen, and as "Tented" stated, if you want players whom have a legitimate gripe about scheduling and court assignment, talk to Nadal and Serena, because they've been given back hands from the slam several times in the past.

it was easy for both Maria and Serena.
I am a bit disappointed cause Maria, Serena and Simona are in the same draw, so only one of them makes it till the final (most probably, Serena). But i really wanted to see Maria - Serena final or Maria - Simona would be also nice, maybe Simona would have taken the revenge for Roland Garros. unfortunately, it's not happening
