Devil's advocate.
What could the tournament do? In Novak's case. Default him? Obviously ridiculous. Fine him? Such a slippery slope. Ignore it? So hard.

Put him on the outer courts. His ill-guided nationalism is ignorance based.

Actually, it could easily happen if you didn't manufacture drama every time.

I'm going to say this in all sincerity so don't @ me.

Sabalenka is not a draw.
Stephens has done nothing to make fans want to rush out and see her play. Maybe in the US but not overseas.
Anyone who takes the job of TD these days has to be a masochist.

If you were the TD would you have scheduled Carlitos vs Musetti as the night match if it was agreeable to both players instead of this particular WTA match?

And I will add to what you say: IT IS A BUSINESS, and it is entertainment business. Putting on a match that has the potential to be less than one hour, and ALL of Iga's matches except those vs Elena or Aryna can last less than an hour, is bad scheduling.

I bet night session tickets are expensive too. Let's see if all the WTA fans who were clamoring for a women's night session put their money where their mouths are and buy the tickets just put on resale.

Also who has the TV rights for the night session?
