Halep in a WTA match is the outlier in marquee names playing today. Most savvy potential attendees would have reviewed the OoP before buying a ticket to watch bottom feeders on a hot summer day in a malarial swamp.In U.K. watching Edmund v Watanuki on Prime; there’s about a dozen spectators and most of them are the players entourages. Midday heat must be a factor and most will be at work. Obviously it picks up in the evening and later rounds and bigger stars but do these tournaments turn a profit?
Decent crowd for Murray battling Ymer and the heat, about half full.Halep in a WTA match is the outlier in marquee names playing today. Most savvy potential attendees would have reviewed the OoP before buying a ticket to watch bottom feeders on a hot summer day in a malarial swamp.
Evening crowds are usually closer to capacity. I remember the Murray vs Copil match a few years back; it was packed like sardines!
Why is there an ad banner in the background for Har-tru (the clay surface) at an event that’s on hard courts?
also, this is the first time I’ve even seen any ad banner for Har-tru, I thought it was just a style of clay, not a company or anything.
Never knew that.All Har Tru is mined outside Charlottesville VA, not too far from Citi.
So basically this is the company's “home tournament “
Plus they make plenty of things for tennis courts, not just the green clay.
Never knew that.
With her tenacious, aggressive counter-puncher style of play, she's ended up in the hospital a couple of times suffering from heat exhaustion, I believe. Once after an AO final against C Woz and again in DC a few years ago IIRCSimona the quitter strikes yet again.
Probably 40% heat, 60% outclassedWhoa. Simona forfeits the match to Kalinskya due to apparent heat exhaustion.
