I went for bad idea...maybe a better idea toward the end of the tournament, but how many people stuck around to watch Wozniacki drub Gullickson tonight?

I agree your idea would be a better use.

I voted Bad Idea. How long can a women's match go? 3 hours tops? That's an 11:00 start for the men -- if the women's match even goes that long.

Men's matches can go 4.5, 5 hours. That's a possible 12:30am 1:00am start time for the second match!!

Crazy idea.

I'm okay with it.

Didn't vote because I neither like nor dislike it.

Voted Good Idea. If I'm at the Open, I may very well want to see the end of the men's match and not stay until 2.00 a.m. Sometimes. And other than the irritation of possibly having to wait around for four hours, I think the women would probably like to be the late match sometimes, too. Something unique and special about playing then, in New York, in a Slam.

Not in the first round with the #1 seed, but I seem to recall every year at least one of the late night matches becomes a classic: why not give the women a chance to put on the classic?

I voted bad idea, only because I think it's fairer on the players with the women first (I could be completely mistaken in this though).

The night matches start 11.00am NZ time, so depending what shift I'm on would actually alter my choice.
I follow mainly ATP so if I'm a 2.30pm work start and the men are up first I'd get to see most of that, if I'm graveyard I can wake up in time if the men are on second. Today I'm on a day off so I don't care! grin
