Roland Garros used to split QF matches between Chatrier and Lenglen — and tennis fans complained they had to choose which ones to watch and which to miss out on.
And generally, Grand Slam quarterfinals competing against each other for the same audience is not a great idea.

One thing I could never make sense of is a MASSIVE disparity in "net assets" between WTA and ATP Tours.
For years WTA's reported net assets have been either negative or slightly above the water — it's $4 million in 2024. ATP Tour's net assets stand at $427 million.
4 vs 427.

The tour presented figures showing that it is projected to hold only $15m (£11m) in cash by the end of this year.
