Did too many people visit the matches and so they're going to have it on weekdays now or what? The format has totally changed, it has now become almost an ATP tournament spread on a whole week Edited November 18, 2019 by AlFHg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,540 Posted November 19, 2019 #13 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Total sell-out crowd in Madrid for the matches that are - for god knows which reason - already about to begin on this Tuesday morning If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Cobi 947 Posted November 19, 2019 #14 Share Posted November 19, 2019 This format is a shame. Nobody is going to pay 45€ on weekdays to watch a game that could last 8 or even 9 hours! NearPup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDOG 2,199 Posted November 21, 2019 #20 Share Posted November 21, 2019 4 groups of 4 teams (16 total) and problem solved. If you don't want to play one more series then just do straight knockouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
