They should move the semis on sat and play final on Monday!

Nothing been said yet, known the French they won't. They don't care enough about the players

I havent heard anything yet but i dont think it will happen, there is more rain predicted too so they cant take a chance. They will play the QF tomorrow and the SF friday for sure. I think if both semi final matches get finished on friday then i highly doubt they will push it to monday. However if any of the matches get rain delayed till sat then that it will change.

I had a conversation with the tournament director this morning and he told me, "Levi, you know, I think the chances of a Monday final are quite slim for the moment barring another day of postponements". Of course we were conversing en Francaise.

I'm sure the OP cares about a Roland Garros final on Monday if it were someone else other than Djokovic lol.

Playing Sunday will hurt whoever comes from the upper half's chances.
Monday final chances looking low. They'll play top half quarters tomorrow, then both semis friday, then finals sunday.
If there are further delays, then someone will end up playing semis on saturday, but I don't think they'll postpone the final just to give a player extra rest. They would only postpone it if one of the semis was actually still happening on sunday, or if it was raining on sunday.

Im not sure the OP motive, it is however the fair thing to do. Your hate gives you up in wanting thing to be unfair and stacked against Djoko I presume, but for anyone that could potentially come through.

Here's another thought. If it's unfair for someone to play singles two days in a row, or to play a final the day after a semi, that needs to be written in to the rules and applied consistently.
Yeah, the schedule might suck for one player or another, but if the organizers start designing the schedule specifically to give some player more rest so they can play better, it really looks like unfair favoritism. They should just make a rule and then apply it consistently. I would not be opposed to a rule that guaranteed one day off between the semi and the final for men's singles.

And now they move Novak Thiem to Lenglan from 15! Wtf?
I wanted to see two men's SF, not one WTA and one ATP match, hello RG!
Even if they let us with Chartrier tickets over to Lenglan, we can't watch other SF at the same time! Shame, but it's definitely Sunday final since obviously they didn't want to move everything for one day and squeezed all SF in friday.

There is a positive side to this though - at least with both semis scheduled for roughly the same time, Djokovic/Thiem will not be put at a disadvantage for the final compared to Murray/Wawrinka

I too am a bit peeved at this. I imagine Lenglen will be packed tomorrow. Went over to watch some of Thiem - Goffin today, and while it wasn't packed, if it had gone 5 sets, who knows.
