–

It’s a packed scheduled at a mixed event.

So Wimbledon finalist Ons Jabeur was on the fourth court, and Australian Open champion and world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka is on the fifth court in Cincinnati on Thursday before they later moved her.

It took awhile before they finally put the Coco Gauff match on the stadium at 7 p.m. All in all, the scheduling on the women’s side has been … complex this week.

But wherever you are, or whatever you’re watching, there’s plenty of good stuff.
