There are some exceptions when players are asked to play twice in a day. At the highest level of the sport when stakes are high, the double duty may take a competitive edge away or raise posibilities of injuries. The Canadian has had to play an early morning three and a late evening two setter in one day and luckily the second match was not as long as it could have been. Hard to imagine a pro player on tour having to play for over six hours in a day. Denis has made it through soundly but has his body? I know, we know that pro tennis players are prepared for such heavy duty but are the demands from organizers always justifiable?
