Yes, but also the two women have never played each other at Wimbledon, and I don't know who the grass-court women's rivalry is right now - Alcaraz vs Sinner at least actually happened.

There is no way they could leave Rafa and Federer out. I question them making what was a duopoly - Federer and Nadal, into a triumvirate putting Djokovic with them.
Murray carried British tennis for years and I don't understand why he's not included.

My partner John already purchased all of our tickets. Probably not necessary- as previously, we had no problems just showing up and purchasing tickets for the same day, and/or for that year's tournament. This Chicago tournament has not proven to be real good with publicity these past few years. Today is the first day we finally found a site for 2023. We've also figured out to bring lunches with us each day. NOT a lot of decent food options. AND Porta-potties- always my favorites.Fastbackss wrote: ↑Wed Jul 05, 2023 2:05 am Hopefully you buy tickets early. I waxed poetic to anyone who would listen about this tournament coming to the area, but didn't buy tickets early because I wasn't sure what day I could go.
Went to buy tickets Monday and there was ONE ticket left - wasn't going to work when I intended to bring one of the progeny.
Ended up having to buy him lunch, which was way more expensive
