–

The Sunday starts on the Tours are always a little jarring, disrupting the mind’s normal tennis schedule.

(Let’s not talk about the expanded 1000s; that’s for another day).

But with Roland Garros looming, this week’s tournaments have Saturday finishes, so that means they’ll begin a day earlier on the Sunday.
