Also: Sabalenka finished 8.30pm and plays 11.30am the next day against a player who had a day off. Absolutely horrendous scheduling my lord.
WTA receives criticism after poor scheduling for Swiatek, Gauff and Sabalenka at San Diego Open
WTASaturday, 15 October 2022 at 11:30
The WTA has been heavily criticised for 'unfair scheduling' which is an issue brought up many times in the tennis community.
Maximizing profits is a very common goal among tennis events and due to that players sometimes face absurd schedules. Earlier this year Alexander Zverev blasted the ATP for the same reason as he had to play the second semi-final of the Madrid Masters several hours after Alcaraz totally messed up his rhythm with the Spaniard easily winning in the final.
Now, the issue has popped up again with tennis journalist Jose Morgado pointing out the inconsistencies in scheduling:
"Winner of the 11.30am match facing the winner of the 7.30pm match; Also: Sabalenka finished 8.30pm and plays 11.30am the next day against a player who had a day off. Absolutely horrendous scheduling my lord."
While these things will happen sometimes it's quite incredible that Sabalenka played the last match of the day one day before playing the first match on the following day. She lost that early morning match to Vekic and the scheduling might have had something to do with it.
