...and yet they will close it during a match if it rains. Sounds like a daft rule to me. It's a different day FFS!!! They can't guarantee the conditions would be the same if the roof had stayed open.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Anyway, I sense a bit of diversion. Bottom line is someone had to be inconvenienced by the Anderson game, and surprise surprise, it's the women.

How would you have scheduled things under the rules of the roof policy?

Does it really matter? The womens final will still be played at primetime on Saturday in front of exactly the same crowd for exactly the same prize money. So they have to start an hour or 90 minutes later due to unforseen circumstances. Big deal, they would have had to do that if it started to rain as they were warming up.
Anyway Nadal and Djokovic putting on a bit of a show here. Fans getting 1 and a half great matches for their money rather than just 1.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

I repeat what I said before. I would have applied 'common sense' (as you put it) and changed the roof policy for one day.

Some people may call it 'common sense', I call it casual misogyny at best.
Enjoy the tennis everyone!

By the way (roof policy aside), if Djokovic v Nadal was played at the same time as the women's final you'd have people complaining that it undermines the women's final as many people would opt to watch that instead.

If they are okay with it, so should we be.

I have no opinion on this, at least until I know how they feel.

I am, but I'd like to know how they feel before I come to my opinion. They are the most important people in this.
Again.... what are their thoughts?

If there isn't, I'll guess that it's no big deal to them.

As someone else has already said, to anyone who has an interest in the women's game, this arrangement should be preferable to McS****y's suggestion of putting Nadal-Djokovic on No 1 court and playing at the same time as the ladies final.
At least this way they are not competing for viewing figures and they're getting their special day all to themselves.

But hey ho, you all have your opinions and I have mine. Meanwhile Djokovic and Nadal continue to fight it out while Williams and Kerber try to stay warmed up and focused....

This is the first tennis I've seen in this year's Wimbledon.
I don't tend to watch it much when Andy Murray isn't playing, but this is one of the best matches I've ever seen.
Not sure what the ladies finalists will be thinking, but I'm sure the fans who are getting to witness this as well as the final that follows will be happy enough.

How does "6 time doubles grand slam winner Reannae Stubbs" grab you for a player's point of view?

I truly hope the question is asked. But even if someone does ask the question, can we be sure that the players would answer it fully and honestly?
In the meantime, can you explain to my 9 year old daughter why she's had to wait an extra 2 and a bit hours to see the premier women's tennis match in the world which is played at 2pm on Saturday every year except this one?

In today's world of social media, they have plenty of opportunities to get their views out to the public domain.
Serena Williams in particular is never backward in coming forward so if it's as big a problem to her as it is to you then I'm sure we'll know soon enough.
