Martina Navratilova and Boris Becker criticize late US Open match finishes

Former champions Martina Navratilova and Boris Becker have criticized the scheduling of night matches at the US Open. Their comments follow a series of late-night finishes at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where matches frequently concluded well past 1 a.m. throughout the first week of the tournament. Venus Williams, Aryna Sabalenka, and Jessica Pegula have also noted the impact these late starts have on player recovery and sleep schedules. Rain delays have compounded the logistical difficulties, with some matches postponed until the following day. Tournament officials face scrutiny regarding their decision-making process for match scheduling during inclement weather.
