I'd agree that it's seem unfair, taking each match on its own individual merits, for the Federer match to take the main stage.

Red Rick · Jan 20, 2018

Ofcourse Fed will get the night match.

Krish872007 · Jan 20, 2018

Yes, very irate. Though on this occasion I actually agree that the Fucsovics match doesn't merit a prime-time slot.

In the meantime, I'll just leave this here:

Krish872007 said:
I don't want to compare against Djokovic or any other player, but I actually have Federer's full list of day matches played in his career at the AO. It's 45 in total (9 since 2014). Of course no-one plays SF or Final during the day.
Hence, the maximum possible number of day matches one can play in a given tournament is 5 (R1 - QF). One 1 occasion (2011), Federer played 4 day matches out of a possible 5. On 9 occasions, he played 3 day matches out of a possible 5.
In 16 of these 45 match days, the temperature went above 40C (as per the Aus Government Bureau of Meteorology data). From these 16, 9 of those reported max temperatures above 43C, resulting in on court afternoon temperatures higher than 50C.

2017 R2 vs Rubin
2016 QF vs Berdych
2016 R3 vs Dimitrov
2016 R2 vs Dolgopolov

The AO may decide not to give in to all the pressure and push back. I mean where does it end? I know you like Novak but it seems to me the whining in tennis have become ridiculous the last couple of years. I don't know if you spend time on twitter but it's insane out there. They nolefam constantly harass tournament organizers and tennis writers they consider pro-Federer.

They went to war against Miami last year over their promotional material. It's ridiculous! Anyway, let's see what happens.

It will be hilarious if Fed gets scheduled at night again.

Anyway Kyrgios hasn't played any day maches at all so far, the most bizarre fact when he was scheduled on Hisense there was a stipulated start time of not before 6.45pm. so even if the earlier matches ended early there would be a wait just for his match.

Really? It was quite big in the early part of the decade.
The last year or two is simply the result of a combination of top billing (sell-out crowds) and age, considering he's unlikely to be on tour much longer relative to the others anyway.

Not on twitter anymore (thankfully) but have seen episodes and photos of such posts taken from the platform. Very interesting to see the virtue-signalling and victimisation from certain fellow fans over there. But a lot of them are die-hards believing they are in the fight against the establishment whereas I'm middle ground on a lot of issues.

No doubt they will pander to Golden balls Fed again! Hope Novak sets the record straight and ends Feds hopes in the SF again! Djoko loves the roll of playing spoiler and being under the radar!

I like in a way that all the talk is about Fed and Rafa! Novak just needs to keep going about his business well! Don’t not pay to much attention to novaks world no14 ranking it maybe deceiving!

That’s your ego talking. Unless Djokovic is playing in the parking lot he gets plenty of respect. Federer is more popular and most wanted to be seen play. Federer is a 19 time GS champion and a 5x AO champion along with defending champion so line your about $$$ talks is BS.

Won't change anything I'm afraid. Federer isn't in competition with Novak so it doesn't matter. 2017 is etched in history. Nothing that happens in 2018 will change that sorry to tell you that. But it's nice to see you back to your trolling best.

It's a cesspit. I'm supposed to be using it for work LOL, but I use it for more than work. Yep, the anti-establishment brigade is very strong. The funny part is the crusade/fights on both sides are led by women.

Of course it matters! Any slam won matters! Any new piece of history written matters! It doesn’t just stop in 2017 because of Fed having a godly year. 2017 was also a special year for Rafa too, just like 2011 and 2015 was for Novak and the Non - calendar slam from 2015-2016.

All of Federer and nadals glory years matter! History keeps been made!

I agree with that! However, the reason they all playing as they all want to be remembered as the greatest! It’s looks tough for Djokovic now but he won’t give up chasing Nadal and fed in slams. However, if Nadal was to win this and go to 17 with FO next, the talk will be in could go past Fed. Or if fed wins then he moves clear again. If Novak wins he could be back in mix!

Every time a new chapter is written! That’s my point. Every slam and year matters!

Entitled tennis fans who don’t pay for sheet think their nerdy tennis prefrences are more important than a very large TV audience, sponsors that pour money into the tournament and the wishes of the the host organizers who’d like to please their ticket-buying patrons.

What you gonna send an angry letter to Craig Tiley explaining how you are a tennis aficionado with sophisticated tastes who gets his tennis mooched off free streaming links and would very much like him to review his policies, thank you very much?

Well Jim Courier last night during the on-court interview said "see you in 2 nights time", so even the commentators just assume that Federer will get the night match regardless of who he's playing.
