I am glad that they only stretched these into 3 weeks instead of 4, if they were going to go to 96 players. And that’s how Canada ends up with the weeknights to end.

The point about compression of matches into the nights is a great one. I would love a deep dive on how tournaments make money and how the split of decisions is between them at the tour.

I remember I think one of the China weeks, the men’s and women’s final were at like the exact same time. I’m sure it’s a great time to sell expensive tickets in China! But then Tennis Channel didn’t air the women’s live. Seems like overall value would be maximized from staggering, but that needs to get coordinated and all parties get their cut.
