My solution was to have the men's semi resumption played after the women's match had finished then have the mens' final on Monday so it doesn't clash with the World Cup final that will take away a lot of the viewership.


I personally wouldn't have minded that, but it creates a mess for organizers as far as ticket sales goes, it will upset fans who have work on Monday and if I was Rafa or Novak I wouldn't want Anderson to have an extra day of rest after creating this mess in the 1st place by playing a 26-24 set.

It's not a great solution to the TV either Caramba. Ok likely being up against World Cup isn't great, but it's no better putting your showpiece on Monday when most people at at work either.

Commercially World Cup must hurt Wimbledon badly on TV anyway. Not seen any viewing figures for this Wimbledon but I bet they are way, way down.

Probably the biggest moment of Wimbledon in terms of what would normally draw viewers literally clashed with England vs Croatia WC SF lol.

The stadium would be full if the people give back their tickets, but you think the people with their Wimbledon F tickets for tomorrow would be happy to be told on Friday night, your final is moving to Monday.

CC would be full pretty much whatever they do whenever they do it as long as the tickets are available. That's not really the problem.

I'm not actually sure what the types of people are who even get Wimbledon F tickets, would love to see how it's distributed. Not sure I've known anyone ever to have a Wimbledon F ticket. I remember the days you could buy them like £2000 each 10 years ago, but now they are much, much more than that in the secondary market.

Well if you were a millionaire it'd make sense. You'd have to be very rich so the idea of dropping 2k's doesn't mean a lot to you.

I'm pretty sure these days, not checked like this year, but I think in recent times the cheapest tickets have been like 10k each anyway. It's probably bit cheaper this year given no Murray, Fed out now, so price has to have dropped a bit.

If Wimbledon wanted to protect themselves from backlash in situations like these, they could just decide to finish a match like Rafa/Novak and just take the fines that comes with it. It's such a rare occurence anyway, so it wouldn't be a huge cost in the grand scheme of things. But this would have to be a long term policy to have, and not a spur of the moment thing you just decide on the day.

maybe they could make it so that Friday and/or Saturday is allowed to run over

and obviously bill Wimbledon for any additional costs on top of the fine
