Svetlana Kuznetsova added to her complaints about scheduling at Wimbledon, saying that tournaments put TV concerns before player concerns.
"I think the scheduling is make for the TV. Many times who make the schedule, they don't care about the players," she said following a quarterfinal defeat to Garbine Muguruza.
Kuznetsova played singles and doubles on Monday, and then was scheduled for the first match at 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday despite an evening finish the day before.
"I finish last night at 7:00 to play doubles. I check the schedule. I was really mad. Because why do I play first, not second? When I ask the question, they said, ‘Because of the TV,’” she said. "The TV is more important for the tennis than the players, probably."
The second match scheduled on court, CoCo Vandweghe against Magdalena Rybarikova, was delayed by rain and moved to Centre Court.
