Would anyone go on a Tuesday morning to see two guys ranked 70 play? I would compare the organization needed to pull off such an event to something like the Brier.
It is definitely hard to say. With the Davis Cup, I remember it was on a long weekend (maybe even this one?). I covered all-day Friday and all-day Saturday. Tons of people were even there for the afternoon Friday session, but that has a lot to do with many folks taking the day off. It was Canada versus Mexico, so the quality of play wasn't stellar. Dancevic was injured and Raonic was just a young kid watching from the stands. Nestor was the only really name there.
