The scheduling meeting must have been … fraught Wednesday as they decided who got what court with a top half of the women’s draw chock full of high-profile names.

The newly-engaged Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff and Amanda Anisimova, rising and popular Filipino Alexandra Eala.

Young American player – who’s from close by – Iva Jovic and rising Canadian star Victoria Mboko, who’ll be popular with the large contingent of Canadians fans on hand.

Oh, and Emma Raducanu. Who always gets good court assignments.

But the drama played out at midnight when Alexandra Eala and a big coterie of fans got past Dayana Yastremska.
