Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova are not happy with the night schedule timings at the Australian Open. But why? The late-night matches are turning out to be a nightmare, as matches are running past two or four in the morning. It’s definitely a marathon roller coaster taking place on the Melbourne courts. However, the tennis legends have something to say regarding this weird timeline.
Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova question the late-night finishes.
Unlike the French Open or the Wimbledon, the other two Grand Slam tournaments, the Australian Open and the US Open go late into the night. Subsequently, it feels like a lot of tennis players and fans are not happy with the late night schedule which wraps up at 2 or 3 AM.
Evert's Tweet.
Navratilova replied to a fan who talked about how it doesn’t matter for the wealthy professional athletes but to the other people and fans.
