The commentators said that some of the players did not like the starting of the tournament on Sunday, the players think it was exploitive as it is an extra day of ticket selling, but if they look at it from their well-being angle it might to better for them, as their matches will be more spaced out.

I don't think the organizers have made it a secret not to admit the financial angle here.

How do these complaining players expect a $5M winners check at the conclusion? The runner-up is also pulling in $2.5M.

Yes, some people are not logical, they think short-termly. However, Madison Keys is an up and down player, knocked out in 1st round to a low rated player

Mboko also went out, though it was a tough first-round draw against former two-time Slam winner Kreijcikova.

Venus lost a three-set against 11th seed Muchova, and Svitolina also lost.

Other first-round winners were Tiafoe, Alcaraz, Townsend, Rybakina and Andreeva.

Ostapenko is a disgusting racist.
Glad you beat her Taylor T.

An ugly incident, Ostapenko might be subconsciously racist. Many people are victims of societal conditioning, most societies condition people to believe that dark-skin people are substandard intellectually.
