–

Already at the semifinal stages on Friday, with the Saturday finish and a commute (longer from Monterrey) for a potential Sunday start at the US Open.

Who designed this schedule, again?

It goes without saying that this is a contributing factor to many of the early exit at both events.

The big one is just too close.

(Cleveland is on EDT; Monterrey is on CST and is two hours behind)
