Jamie Murray, the former doubles world No. 1 and current tournament director of the ATP 500 event at the Queen\u2019s Club, was in Sky Sports\u2019 commentary booth on Wednesday, expecting to call matches.<\/p>\n
That didn\u2019t quite go to plan, with play delayed due to rain. As a tournament director, he knows how these delays work. And with some matches now cancelled and postponed until tomorrow, Murray explained what fans could expect from Thursday\u2019s schedule in Miami.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt probably depends on how many match courts they can put in play tomorrow. On the schedule today, they\u2019ve got eight courts. They might have the potential to do 10 or 11 courts. It also depends on how many are set up for electronic line calling, hawkeye, all the sort of stuff as well. We\u2019ll see, but there\u2019s going to be a lot of matches for sure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think, ideally, they\u2019ll try to get through everything just so that they\u2019re back on track and players aren\u2019t necessarily having to play back-to-back or even double up on one day. I think they\u2019re far away from that. The good thing is there are a lot of days in the tournament as well. They\u2019re not playing five-set matches as well for the guys, so for them to play back-to-back three-setters, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s much of an issue. And, to be honest, I think half the draw would rather be doing that anyway! I don\u2019t think they like the days off.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jamie Murray, the former doubles world No. 1 and current tournament director of the ATP 500 event at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":546239,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[6005,49,48,1020,35803,212878,212877,82,593,621,11367],"class_list":["post-546238","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-aryna-sabalenka","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-francesca-jones","tag-miami-open","tag-miami-open-matches-delayed","tag-miami-open-schedule","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-tennis-news","tag-venus-williams"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=546238"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546238\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/546239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=546238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=546238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=546238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
