Well, this is great stuff, as is your steady flow of wisdom on Twitter.
But tennis players must be frustrated, as I am, by tennis scheduling that often puts one finalist at a disadvantage -- the finalist who plays the late evening match the night before the early afternoon final the following day. That disadvantage is intensified when the finalist has had to play through the qualification rounds, as we saw yesterday (and in the case of Vania King some time back).
Media ratings and sponsor preferences (read: money)seem to dictate scheduling, without much concern for what Siegemund politely refers to as "the limit."
''I'm really tired and I know I can play much better,'' the 28-year-old Siegemund said. ''There is no situation in tennis in which you play more games than at a tournament, and at some stage the limit is reached.''
Even the sponsors and advertisers might benefit if we the viewers consistently saw the finest tennis showcased in the finals. Unfortunately for this and other reasons, we often don't.
Thanks for your kind words, Arsdorf, and yes, I agree. The scheduling can be unnecessarily cruel. I'm not sure any adjustment could have been made in Stuttgart, however. That Laura had to go through qualies is pretty much on her, and I guess the only solution would have been to put the final on at a later time.
After seeing Laura play in Charleston, her Stuttgart run was no surprise. How nice it will be when she can directly into the main draw and not have to perform these Herculean feats!
Somehow I missed why siegemund stopped tennis initially.
