Bianca Andreescu mocks poor Wimbledon scheduling

The Canadian star, Bianca Andreescu was supposed to play her first-round match on Tuesday but constant delays have pushed it to Thursday. The latest rescheduling suggests that she is set to take on Anna Bondar in the second match on Court 17 on Thursday. Furious with Wimbledon’s poor scheduling, the former US Open champion, took a jibe at the organisers.

Despite having over 20 courts, the failure to complete all first-round matches within day 3 is unacceptable. Well, the scheduling woes aren’t just limited to the players who are yet to play. A considerable amount of round two matches are still going and Thursday’s schedule appears to be a mess.

Wimbledon 2023 turning into a nightmare

Three days into the slam and there are nine singles matches yet to be completed, seven of which have not yet begun. Most of the players will be forced to play on consecutive days which will allow them less preparation time. Lack of preparation and rest can also affect their results here at Wimbledon. On the other hand, players like Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek, and Jannik Sinner are already in the third round while some are yet to start their campaign at Wimbledon. Absolute chaos!

Aside from reckless scheduling, Wimbledon also became the victim of ‘Just Stop Oil’ protests yesterday. Despite alerting the security of a potential threat, they failed to stop the protestors from vandalizing the court.

Are we going to see more rain delays and protests at this year’s Wimbledon? Do let us know in the comments.
