'FROM THE ATP SITE'

You gotta love the passion of Betty Scott who vented her spleen over certain 'issues 'at Wimbledon this year. She is very correct, the scheduling was beyond a mess, Why would you put Isner and Anderson on first ???
Well said.....

Add the clusterf*uck of the semi-final scheduling. Only braindead over-the-hill AELTC people would put the Isner/Anderson match on first. Because the possibility of a marathon match was very real and should have been factored in. Rafa and Novak should have played first. And more discussion is needed about the no tiebreak fifth set. Perhaps that is just for the final, when there's not another match to play in 2 days' time. This was unfair not only to ALL the players, but to the fans, who paid a ton of money for 2 semi-final matches and only got to see 1 1/2. (And who wants to see a 6 1/2 hr match anyway??) I have read that there is no rule that a match started with the roof closed needs to continue with the roof closed. Obviously closed/open favors certain types of play. The roof was closed so the match could be played until 11pm. There was simply no need for the roof the following day, and the idea that both players would have to agree is absurd. The roof should have been open on Saturday, end of discussion. So many things wrong with the way this was all handled. Wimbledon is not prestigious; it's so mired in stubborn tradition, that it's archaic.

Clusterf… indeed !!!!!!
