Thought one was gonna be added by 2021? Not only that, I know the fans paid for the matches to be on court PC, but KNOWING that bad weather was on the way, they should have played one match on Philippe Chatrier and the other men's semi's on court Suzanne Lenglen at the same time.

Looked into it and Roland Garros is getting a roof in time for next year's tournament. They were able to win the court battles against the locals.

Absolutely should have played both semis at once. C'est la vie.

Djokovic would have had a fit about not being on centre court.

They should have just delayed play until tomorrow. Now the winner of Joker/Thiem is gonna play on four straight days while Nadal will be on match two in five days. What a joke.

I always, well not always, wonder if tennis history would have been different had Tsonga and not Novak won the AO in 2008?.

Would have been a fluke title like Cilic

I'd be a Fed stan probably
Or a mad jingoistic American flag waver. That's the tournament that made me choose him.

Tsonga probably grabs 1-2 more titles and is the 4th king that Andy unseats.

I’d be stanning Nadal. Glad Djokovic took the next step.

I swear it seems like Thiem has this "let me try this unnecessary shot" at least once a game
