Gotta admit that this is pretty poor.
Because of the annoying Wimbledon rule of no play after 11PM and the crazy long Anderson/Isner match, Djokovic v Nadal had to be suspended at the start of the 4th set. The organizers have decided to schedule the match to resume at 1PM tomorrow which is BEFORE the women's final at 2PM. Considering how long the sets have been between these two players, it is highly likely that the women's final will now be delayed. Not only will it be delayed, the women will have to wait around, potentially for hours for the men to finish playing which is definitely unprecedented in recent years for a slam final.
Say what you want about women's tennis (i'm sure there'll be a lot of negative comments here), but can you imagine how you would feel if the men's final was to be indefinitely delayed because of a women's match? People would go crazy.
To make matters worse, earlier in the tournament, organizers were adamant that the timing of the men's final wouldn't be changed if England made the World Cup final so many are asking why the women's time slot is ok to be amended but not the men's.
Kerber and Serena are set to play one of their biggest matches of their career (Kerber going for slam #3 and Serena looking to equal Court's record of 24 slams). But instead of knowing when their match will start, they potentially could sit around for hours (if the match is anything like the Anderson/Isner match, they could be waiting for a long, long time).
