We do try to play all matches on the courts and days published. However,
occasionally it is necessary to switch a match from one court to
another. This can be for a number of reasons. For example:
We aim to complete The Championships on time and this involves playing
734 matches, in the 13 events, over the 13 days of the tournament.
Some players remain involved in several events towards the end of the
Championships and it may be necessary to move a match to avoid a clash.
We try to give similar rest periods between matches for players due to
play each other.
A match which is unlikely to finish because of a late start caused by
duration of previous matches may be postponed to the following day. In
this event another match may be substituted.
We recognise that this may be frustrating for spectators and we
apologise for the rare occasions when circumstances necessitate a change
to the published Schedule of Play. We hope you will appreciate why such
changes have been made.
