No other sport expects its athletes to perform at these times - Tennis fans chew out US Open for ridiculous scheduling after Carlos Alcaraz-Jannik Sinner QF thriller

By DEVANG CHAUHAN Modified 09 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner after their epic match at the 2022 US Open Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner produced a late-night thriller in their quarterfinal clash at the 2022 US Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The match between the two rising young superstars lasted over 5 hours and finished at 2:50 am local time, making it the latest ever finish to a match at Flushing Meadows. While the quality of the encounter thrilled everyone, there were a few fans on social media who were unhappy with how late the match ended. One fan said that although the match was fabulous, a match ending at almost 3 am is not good for anyone and called out the US Open organizers for their scheduling. "Fabulous match, clearly. But playing two singles matches in the night session is asking for trouble and - as I am sure all players would agree - finishing so late/early in the morning is no good for anyone," said a fan.

"I just don't think it's healthy. No other sport expects its athletes to perform at these times. Those matches would have been just as good a little bit earlier. Midnight should be late enough. Just my opinion." Eleanor Crooks@EleanorcrooksPA@luizlemuz I just don't think it's healthy. No other sport expects its athletes to perform at these times.

Just my opinion Eleanor Crooks@EleanorcrooksPAWhat a crazy, crazy match. Carlos Alcaraz really is something else. That one will hurt for Jannik Sinner but these two will surely have many, many more grand slam battles to come. Meanwhile, no tennis match should finish at 2.50am. It's insane.272What a crazy, crazy match. Carlos Alcaraz really is something else. That one will hurt for Jannik Sinner but these two will surely have many, many more grand slam battles to come. Meanwhile, no tennis match should finish at 2.50am. It's insane. Here are some other tweets criticizing the late night ending of the match: Not Up Tennis@IanKatzTennis@luizlemuz @EleanorcrooksPA The other problem is that by running so late tennis is reducing the number of people who are watching its best stuff.1@luizlemuz @EleanorcrooksPA The other problem is that by running so late tennis is reducing the number of people who are watching its best stuff.
