US Open's Late-Night Matches Draw Concerns Over Player Fatigue and Attendance
The 2023 US Open has seen a record number of matches finishing after 2 a.m., raising concerns among players and fans about late-night scheduling. Alexander Zverev and Jessica Pegula expressed fatigue and questioned the impact of such late finishes on players and spectators. Unlike Wimbledon and the French Open, which limit late matches, the US Open's extended hours have led to empty seats and player exhaustion, prompting discussions about whether the tournament's late-night tradition has gone too far.
