Mackenzie McDonald is scheduled to play the Cincinnati doubles final with Alex Michelsen today at 1:00pm. Then, later tonight, McDonald is scheduled to play his first round match at the Winston-Salem Open against Corentin Moutet not before 8:30pm. At least as of this morning, McDonals hasn't withdrawn from Winston-Salem. Is his plan to play the Cincinnati doubles final, hop on a flight, and play a singles match in a different city the same day? Has something like this ever been done before?
 
Legendary baseball pitcher Leroy "Satchel" Paige wrote about his days in the old Negro Leagues (pre-Jackie Robinson) when he would pitch for one team early in the day, drive a few hours, then pitch for another team in a night game. Paige had the oldest debut in major league history, at age 42 with the Cleveland Indians.
 
His knee/quad was already bothering him today in the doubles match. It will be interesting to see if he can pull it off.
