Well they have but they're certainly not happy about it
They just interviewed Alan Mills and Chris Gorringe on TV - Gorringe especially was absolutely seething about having to open up on Sunday - guess they're afraid they'll attract the "wrong kind of fans" there - you know the ones prepared to queue who really love tennis, instead of the debenture holders and corporate hospitality! And have a tendancy to agree with you about the "real" tennis - can't wait to get off this infernal grass. If this tournament was on any other surface but grass they would probably actually be playing now because it's not really heavy - just drizzle - the kind they play in regularly in Hamburg on the clay.
