因為兩年前 Hewitt跟Baghdatis兩年前比賽進行到AM4:34 ,造成許多爭議, 組委會為了安撫男子選手,同意把比賽提前, Kuznetsova第一次體驗到凌晨比賽在第三輪對上Angelique Kerber 她說再也不想再體驗一次了,她為了讓自己保持清醒,看了Nadal vs Kohlschreiber比賽 Kuz說她不懂為什麼要排在男生後面,這之前都沒發生過, 我們要求平等,但我也不希望男子在比賽凌晨開打 Henin說擊敗Dementieva後,我面臨許多問題且身體經歷了許多,兩點上床睡覺, 我沒有足夠睡眠,可怕的睡眠品質,我只睡了5小時, Kuz同意移到其他球場如果男子比賽要打5盤的話, 但她比較想要在中央球場比賽勝於Margaret Court,因為那裡已經沒觀眾了, 所以他祈擣Nadal四盤結束比賽 XD 因為那裡有觀眾在看,在你快睡著時,他們可以讓你保持清醒 Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova has joined the growing chorus of players questioning the wisdom of scheduling late night matches at the Australian Open. The top men have been complaining about the programming for years after being forced to play into the early hours of the next day and now the women have added their voice. The issue reached farcical proportions two years ago when a match between Lleyton Hewitt and Marcos Baghdatis did not finish until 4:34 am, prompting complaints from the men that they were being unfairly treated. Organisers had traditionally scheduled two singles matches for the night- session at the Rod Laver Arena with the women playing first followed by the men. To appease the men, tournament organisers agreed to alternate the schedule this year, giving them the chance to play the first night match and leaving the women to play last. Kuznetsova got her first taste of what it was like to play into the small hours when her third round match against German qualifier Angelique Kerber began just before midnight on Friday. The French Open champion eventually won 3-6 7-5 6-4 just before 2 am but said it was an experience she would not want to repeat. I was running and going crazy in the locker room so I can stay awake," the world number three said. I had to remind myself I'm playing the Australian Open, it's not just a regular tournament. You kind of lose the importance of these big events. For Russia it's great, they can watch my match on television, but for me it's two o'clock in the morning." Kuznetsova's comments followed a similar complaint from Australian teenager Bernard Tomic earlier in the week. Tomic was hauled before the tournament organisers to explain his outburst but Kuznetsova said officials needed to understand the players' view. I grew up in a sports family and my parents always taught me to wake up at eight and to go to bed at 10," she said. "I don't understand why we have to play after the men anyway, I think it's never happened before. We need equality, the men have complained, it sounds weird. "But I don't even think men should play at two o' clock in the morning." Justine Henin, who beat Elena Dementieva in the first night match on Wednesday, said even her finish, which was much earlier than Kuznetsova's, had effected her for days. "I faced a few issues and my body suffered a lot," said the Belgian, who is in the early stages of a comeback. "I did not have enough sleep. I slept terribly. I was in bed at two when I beat Dementieva. I slept five hours." To help her stay awake before her match, Kuznetsova decided to join the spectators in the stands and watch the men's contest between Rafael Nadal and Philipp Kohlschreiber, a four-set match which went three and a half hours. "It was frustrating. They told us if it was going to a fifth set we were going to be moved to another court," she said. "I agreed to move court if it went to a fifth set but I was praying to Rafa to win in four sets because I wanted to play on Rod Laver (Arena). "It's better to play on Rod Laver than Margaret Court (Arena) where nobody is watching. At least people keep you up because you're falling asleep there." http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/23012010/58/ australian-open-kuznetsova-joins-night-session-critics.html -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.112.226.138
