Members Soapsuds Posted May 15, 2019 Members Share Posted May 15, 2019 The Italian Open sucks. Get some damn roofs. The tournament is so outdated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted May 15, 2019 Members Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) So they hike up the prices and the day is a washout. Do they get a refund? All the money lost....serves them right. I hate this tournament. Never understood why it's a 1000 event. The courts are small and ugly with no roofs and the Italian fans are awful.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 15, 2019 Members Share Posted May 15, 2019 Tennis as a sport is an unqualified mess. They've got to do better. Climate change is not going away, in fact, the weather appears to get more extreme every season. I realize that these tournament organizers want to emphasize the aspect of tennis as an outdoor sport but as long as they expect spectators and fans to travel far and wide to patronize these tournaments, they all need to make better preparations for inclement weather. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 15, 2019 Members Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) I saw the scheduling earlier and it's ridiculous. It is very unfair to those in the second round since a few are already in the 3rd round with a day off. Why don't they just have a night men's and women's final on Sunday or a Monday final? This schedule is horrible. That's why I love Madrid. They have 3 courts with roofs. Notice how it rarely rains there and when it does the roofs are closed. The organizers of the Italian Open are so behind. They have the worst weather. It rains almost every year during that tournament. You'd think they'd build some roofs....crazy.... BTW...Grigor took a WC in qualifying to next week's Geneva tourney.......wow...Grigor playing qualifying....his ranking is close to dropping out of the top 50....he is currently at #46.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 15, 2019 Members Share Posted May 15, 2019 Madrid wasn't that bad this year, but in previous years, they've sucked too, LOL! Their scheduling has also known to be a sexist mess. Perhaps with Feliciano as tournament director, this can change. These tournaments act like they're Challengers. With the rates they charge on some tickets, they should be able to afford to put a roof on at least one court. The clay court tournaments seem the most resistant to change. In the past, they had a few sprinkles and it didn't stop play for long (if at all) but now they are getting washouts, yet still seem not to want to accept this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 15, 2019 Members Share Posted May 15, 2019 Those outdoor courts in Italy seem like the players are playing in the streets/parking lot. They are horrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
