Forces have conspired to grant me a day off from everything tomorrow, so I think I'm actually going to drive up to DC to watch the men's QF. Which, not counting Davis Cup or challengers, will be my in-person first main tour tournament experience. Exciting!

Yay! I'll be there doing coverage for TAT. Not counting Davis Cup, that will be my first in-person Munchin sighting.

Ok, maybe this is not the same and we should count Davis Cup.

Wow, they put both women's semifinals on Grandstand and send the doubles FINAL out to the smallest of the 3 courts, in competition with Vania vs. Patiofurniture and Mardy vs. Malisse, so they could put every men's singles match on Center? That seems strange to me to split it up that way.

Not just strange, but somehow disrespectful to the ladies!

Not just strange, but somehow disrespectful to the ladies!

Earlier this week, someone had pointed this out on Twitter, saying something along the lines of, "So WTA, how is the joint event in Washington working out for you." S/he pointed out that on Sunday, all the Stadium matches were ATP, although they were still in qualifying, while first round women's matches were on the Grandstand and Court 1. On Saturday, men's qualifying (first round) were on Stadium and Grandstand courts, while women's (final round) qualifying were on Grandstand 2. If you look back at the daily schedules, it's been the same all week (just one exception: Stephens-Bouchard last night pushed Malisse-Chardy onto the Grandstand). Evidently the event organizers there agree with Simon/Tipsarevic.

[Goalseexere]

It sure doesn't look good. But isn't this event a 500 series for the men, and ITF-level for the women? It's definitely not part of the US Open Series on the WTA side, but I may be underestimating its status. Maybe it's International (or whatever Less-Than-Premier-Mandatory-or-Premier is called)?
