I like the idea of a 15th day, but I personally would prefer starting the tournament like the French does (on a Sunday), and finishing on a Sunday. Monday finals would seem to me to be a more difficult sell for television (unless they are also looking at a deal to move the entire thing to cable/PPV).

I appreciate their not wanting to lose Super Saturday (along with Wimbledon's 2nd Monday, the biggest two days on the calendar) however. And if you agree with Roger that the players want that day between the semis and the finals, then going to a Monday final is the only way to keep Super Saturday.

Tough decision, no matter what way you go.
