–
Montreal-it was an off-day for Elena Rybakina, who plays no. 30 seed dayana yastremska on Saturday in the fourth round of the Omnium Banque Nationale.
And after the practice she received a little visit.
It was WTA -Supervisor Mohamad Chahir Fitouhi – one of the four assigned to this tournament – who arrived on the field with a sheet of paper in his hand.
Now we have not come close enough to paparazzi. But a best trained gamble was that it was a provisional order for Saturday. And that he received some input from Rybakina (who seemed engaged) and her coach about their requests and/or preferences about when she wanted to play.
This is how it all looked like.
We have written about this earlier, often when people jump everywhere in the planning of decisions, because they feel that their favorite has a rough deal.
But there are so many chefs that stir that soup. In the end, not everyone will get what they want.
In this specific case, the fact that the emerging young Canadian Victoria Mboko will, despite being a wildcard, will certainly be a big factor. The Canadian legal brochures who broadcast the tournament will make sure that her match against Coco Gauff – who happens to be the number 2 player in the world and the number 1 seed – in the most advantageous lock. This also applies to the tournament itself.
That also has two elements: which lock is the biggest boost with ticket sales (if the day or night session does). And who will probably get the best reviews.
Normally the answer to both would be the night session. But this is a Saturday, that’s a bit of another beast – the reviews are probably better in the day session. But ticket sales are probably also better for the day session.
The winners of Rybakina/Yastremska and Gauff/Mboko are not planned to meet each other in the quarterfinals. So there is no question of equal peace – like in: if one play the night session, the other would probably be a late match at the other court. To make it honest for the next round.
But in this case, with this eternally long format, there are only four singles competitions on the schedule and they are all at the Stadiumhof.
Gauff also still lives in the doubles. So that was another problem. If she had to play her quarter -final game on Saturday, she would have to play her singles during the day, because that comes first.
The last answer: Gauff v Mboko at 6 pm Rybakina Second, not before 2 p.m.
