Lots of tennis this week as the Road to Roland Garros continues, I checked the forecast for Munich http://www.wetter.com/deutschland/muenchen/DE0006515.html and it seems there won't be snow this year.

Again using ATP website for WTA order of play as WTA PDF is just filled with "ATP match" in for ATP matches, not useful in telling me what I'm waiting for to finish for a WTA match to start.


tbf this is the same info ATP site had when I checked yesterday.

Why not use the OOP from the tournament website?
Report caramba May 6, 2017 2:51 PM BST
1) because rather than checking ATP's or WTA's site I would have to check one or several new sites every week
2) tournament site might be in a different language
3) in weeks when there are several tournaments, it's easier to just have all info at ATP's or WTA's sites rather than go to different tournament sites for OOP's.

Anyway, with WTA's site being so lame now, it's sometimes better to use tournament site, especially on a week like this.
