Not starting 3 matches until 8 pm? Is that Eastern or local? I know Mexico touraments start late (which is crazy to me anyway), but surely they aren't starting this late?

Local - 10 pm EST - also both singles finalists have to come back to play a doubles semi, and then one of them has to come back to play a doubles final. Assuming they play all the matches either Thompson, or Ruud will play 3 matches.

This is madness.
I think the doubles - at least the last semi - was supposed to happen before the singles final, but since both finalists are also in the doubles semi, they moved the doubles semi to after the singles final. But they didn't adjust the singles final start time.

The doubles should be delayed until the next day.

Trying to figure out who is more likely to withdraw from the semi, the winner or loser of the singles final. Probably loser? They both play Acapulco next week (well, this week in the U.S.).

Not only that. He is also done a singles-doubles combo. Which is getting progressively rare. Starting 2000 (for 24+ years) it was only 33 such occurrences. For a decade of the 90s it was 35. For a decade of the 80s (which I didn't complete yet) I already listed 67.
by skatingfan Good on Ruud, and Thompson for sticking with the doubles - this type of scheduling is ridiculous, but good on Thompson to go 3-0 for the day - how many players have won 3 professional matches in one day outside of a Grand Slam.

Great achievement! What a day for him.
by ponchi101 An example to many. Will he ever be a factor at big tournaments? No, most probably not. But if you work hard, and keep at what you do, maybe smaller victories like these will be yours.
We are always so focused on the big guys and the big tournaments. And we forget about this kind of achievements. Good for Thompson.
