Great matches in DC all day, Fernandez/Linette, Navarro/Kenin, Fritz, Keys/Samsonova, Tiafoe/Atmane among them Because of the heat rule impacting play yesterday, Memphis is running matches at 10am and no more until 5pm. Los Cabos does not start until 6pm.27 Jul 2026 11:06 +0000at://did:plc:6kzynbzcxbs2ywygikiubg5l/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrmqvi43k22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/tennisupdates.bsky.social/post/3mrlsywvkds23I am not doing my daily schedule post until Qualifers are placed in Los Cabos and also Memphis but it appears they have changed their schedule after the heat rule delaying play for several hours today.
