Booooo! Hisssssssssssssssssss! I don't want the other slams to get US Open disease (doing everything for money and only money).

Yes, the website needs to be updated if this is the case and 15 days for a Slam is crap and it's not needed, next it will be Super Saturday for Roland Garros.
From what I also read it's only 12 matches will take place on the three showcourts on the first Sunday. Yay! it's all about the fans.
Well it's not like the clay doesn't need extra attention and yes the best thing is probably the winner and finalists in St Pölten and Düsseldorf will play their 1st round matches on Sunday.MariaV said:Yeah right, it's all about the fans.What next?
And what about attention for the tournaments ending before the GSs start, some of them already have finals on Saturday, don't they need more spectators and coverage at the weekend?
I don't like it one bit.![]()

and then guess what.......
"oh look the Saturday is free as well"
what great thinking by the idiotic money men.
Actually it said 12 matches will be scheduled on the first Sunday and it won't be juniors or exhibitions.BigboyDan said:Sigh.
Relax.
There still will be no ATP or WTA players scheduled on that first Sunday.
You're right - and those matches will not be with ATP players either.GeorgeWHitler said:Actually it said 12 matches will be scheduled on the first Sunday and it won't be juniors or exhibitions.
How can they be when the ITF run the Slams? If it's not juniors, wheelchairs or exhibition events then what are they then?BigboyDan said:You're right - and those matches will not be with ATP players either.
