All of the singles semifinals are being played on this Thursday, which is probably a good idea in theory but ends up perhaps little too much of a good thing – especially for the fan son hand.

If you’re a fan of one or the other, you have the Sabalenka quarter likely coinciding with the Keys-Bencic quarter on Stadium 2 (this is especially annoying if you’re trying to broadcast all four).

Not to mention you have to have separate tickets for both.

And there may well be some overlap between the Alcaraz quarter on the main stadium with the Shelton v Draper clash on Stadium 2, which is scheduled to start “not before 5 p.m.” but which likely will be later.

The rain in the forecast will be, for the most part, in the morning. So it shouldn’t affect the schedule too much.

(Indian Wells is three hours behind ET).
