Order of Play

The Matches for each day are prepared in draft the previous evening by the Referee and submitted by him to the Order of Play committee for approval or amendment.

Every effort is made to have the potentially most attractive matches played on the courts with the most spectator accommodation, but care has also to be taken to give any player likely to go far in the tournament his or her fair share of the show courts.

Changes to the Order of Play

We do try to play all matches on the courts and days published. However, occasionally it is necessary to switch a match from one court to another. This can be for a number of reasons.

For example:
We aim to complete The Championships on time and this involves playing 687 matches, in the 12 events, over the 13 days of the tournament.

Some players remain involved in several events towards the end of The Championships and it may be necessary to move a match to avoid a clash.

We try to give similar rest periods between matches for players due to play each other.

A match which is unlikely to finish because of a late start, caused by the duration of previous matches, may be postponed to the following day. In this event another match may be substituted.
