Wimbledon organizers are disgusting as...!

[torpantennis]

WTH are they doing with the scheduling?? Feliciano Lopez, who's played some great grass court tennis this season, is playing his 3RD ROUND match on outside courts, but now it's raining! Weather forecast for Monday was rain showers. Still, they allow MURRAY to play his 4TH ROUND match under the roof on CC! That's so ugly! Seems they don't care about our sport the slightest bit! It's just ALL BUSINESS, ALL MURRAY MANIA.

This is so ugly, so disgusting! Yuck the white dress code and all! I have no more words to describe it. Be ashamed Wimbledon organizers!

Nothing wrong with traditional white attire.

 

[Chico]

Yes agree, their scheduling has been totally unreasonable. They don't care about being fair to all players at all and are blindly sticking to their stupid silly rules like we are in 19th century.

 

[dominikk1985]

they should not allow to start any 4th round match until all 3rd round matches are finished.

 

[jaggy]

I think TV has some say in this, Murray is a bigger draw.

Exactly! It's all business. Now move all 3rd round matches to CC. Or be ashemed!

Now I really hope Lopez will win Wimbledon!

 

[Murrayfan31]

I love their scheduling.

Same is with Ana/Lisicki. Their 3rd round match is suspended on Court #1 while Bouchard/COrnet 4th round match is being played on Centre Court.
Totally mindbogglingly bad decisions but organizers.

 

[Peters]

We get this *every* slam when rain intervenes. So&so player is getting better treatment than so&so player! Conspiracy! Etc.

agreed. archaic rules should be changed. ;-)

Lisicki is also one of favorites! Yuch!

If I were Agassi, I'd NOT dress in white tomorrow! :lol:

 

[Murrayfan31]

They should push the bottom half to Wednesday since the Isner match isn't completed.

The fact is that it is always the same couple of players (Nada, Fed, Serena, Sharapova and on Wimbledon Murray too) who get preferential treatment every single time. Makes it unfair to other players. Especially to other top players like Djokovic.
So it is absolutely warranted to complain about this.

How on Earth have they been unfair to Djokovic? He has played EVERY single match on Centre Court without any delays. Even Murray had to play one of his matches on Court no.1!

You take this paranoia/persecution complex regarding Djokovic to ridiculous extremes! Wawrinka, Federer and Nadal may have justifiable reason to complain about their scheduling...but not Djokovic!

 

[Graf=GOAT]

I love their scheduling.

Of course you do. You're a fangirl of Murray, not a fan of tennis.

I so agree! Wimbledon is totally disgusting! They should allow players to wear whatever they want, even turn up nude if they want to, abolish strawberries and cream and force everyone to eat cheeseburgers, abolish Middle Sundays and make them all play every day of the week so we can get through the whole horrendous experience in as short a time as possible!

As for the rain, they should move Wimbledon to Paris or New York immediately coz as we all know there are NEVER any rain delays in those cities! In fact, better still, they should move it up north to my hometown of Manchester. Despite our reputation, we have hardly had more than a brief shower for the last 2 weeks! Most importantly, I could finally get to see the top players in action!

Let's dooooo....wooooo....woooo.....it NOW!!!

 

[Murrayfan31]

I am a fan of tennis with the right players. And Fedal aren't those.

Woah... Dont be a blind fan of Wimbledon. When it does some things wrong, it's perfectly fine to criticize them

Not this time so far, since he is thankfully in the same half as Murray. But in previous slams happened way to many times not to be mentioned.

Now you took defending Wimbledon to the ridiculous extreme. They do many things wrong. There is absolutely no reason not to play on Middle Sunday, it is not 19th century any more, their scheduling especially with only one court with the roof leaves a lot to be desired, ... It is perfectly reasonable to criticize them for that.

 

[Mainad]

How does Djokovic being in the same half as Murray stop the organisers scheduling him to play on Court 1 or on an outside court if they choose? And what is wrong with being asked to play on Court 1 (a splendid court) anyway? Why should only the top guys get to play all their matches on Centre Court? Murray (whom you like to think the organisers favour) has already had to play one of his matches on Court 1! Djokovic hasn't had to do so!!

It is reasonable to criticise and there are doubtless things that could have been done a little better. But that's a far cry from describing things as 'disgusting' or a 'scandal' as if the organisers are deliberately out to snub and insult certain players!

You are far too paranoid and over-sensitive where Djokovic is concerned, often for no valid reason at all, as I've already explained!

 

[LanceStern]

What's wrong with pausing play on middle Sunday?

 

[MarcusInKensington]

Calm down, it's only a game of tennis.

 

[newpball]

This is so ugly, so disgusting! Yuck the white dress code and all! I have no more words to describe it. Be ashamed Wimbledon organizers!

Yes as if they care for this, frankly rather out of left field, opinion.

:grin:

 

[swizzy]

without wimbledon laying the groundwork tennis might never have become the thing that so many on this board spend so many hours and thousands of posts criticizing.. troll on.

 

[struggle]

What's wrong with pausing play on middle Sunday?

what's wrong with playing on sunday in a place with poor weather often delaying the tournament?

heck, why not skip monday instead, for that matter, when people are at work and can't watch on tv as readily?

i've never understood the middle sunday thing, but a thing it is.

Yes, Wimbledon organizers are disgusting because they take pride in maintaining tradition, because they schedule the best and most popular players on the biggest show courts, and because it rains.

Take a valium and think about what you're saying man.

 

[Down_the_line]

Calm down, it's only a game of tennis.

This. Some people take all this way too seriously, it's concerning.

 

[Shaolin]

Pretty understandable...Murray gets the ratings and is defending champion.

Sunday is the day of rest. I respect their decision.

 

[bullfan]

Sunday is the day of rest. I respect their decision.

Get real, it's a consideration to the locals, as is not playing real late matches. In case you were unaware, the mens final is on the second Sunday.

 

[Bartelby]

Some have argued that the rest day is vital for grass court maintenance, but in the past it's been put down to a local council restriction to ensure some amenity for the locals.

In any event, the organizers don't seem to be agitating for a change.

 

[Chico]

That is ridiculous. It is not 19th century any more.
BTW Why do they play men final on next Sunday then?

 

[newpball]

Since the beginning of Wimbledon the middle Sunday is a rest day, this was only broken three times because of weather conditions. So they are doing this more than 100 years, you really think they are going to break this tradition? Wimbledon is a tournament of tradition and special rules. Clothing needs to be predominately white, and there are no excessive signs of commercialism.

I happen to like Wimbledon the way it is thank you very much.

If commercialism gets its way they would play every day, clothing would be anything allowed by the ATP including idiocy like tennis jeans and the courts would be full of advertising signs it would be as horrible as the plastic WTF.

Every year people complain about middle Sunday. My goodness they play 13 out of 14 days, can't people tolerate one single day off?
