Meanwhile they sent Alcaraz out looking like this - minus the pants.

Night session needs a star. So, what are you going to do? Put 2024 Iga on the night session for a 45 minutes drubbing?
It's a business, and it is a SHOW business. The men can at least guarantee three sets, which means 90 minutes.

This discussion happens every Slam and for every Slam the answer Ponchi is giving is correct. Who is going to pay top dollar for a 45m match, or a replay of that Qinwen/Cori s**t show in Italy?

You'd kind of need Serena, Venus, Martina, Chrissy, Steffi, Monica, Justine, Martina, Kim, Mary Jo, Tracy, Gabriella all around the same age playing well to get priority.

There was more b**ching and moaning among tennis folks today on Bluesky because of Rune playing a man ranked #128 in the world if I remember correctly. I asked given the choices of women's matches to be played today which one had enough juice to be the night match. So far no answer. Owen is correct. The current crop just doesn't have the star power of their predecessors.

Coco has been playing really poorly.. at this rate, the first good player she meets (Alexandrova?) will beat her.. disappointing.

Then start the night session earlier to fit 2 matches.
