Shot Clock At The Open?

[Johnnyt]

I take it they don't believe in shot clocks at the U.S Open. Some of the matches are 3 hours long. Johnnyt

Yeah, I heard on the livestream one of the announcers mention the Mike Wong match went 4 hours or so...

They are going to use one later today.

As of 4pm all full production matches will be using a shot clock... Will at least help some... Internet only matches will not have the shot clock in use...

4pm Charlie Williams v Larry Nevel
6:30pm SVB v Omar Al Shaheen
8:30 Wang Can v Yukio Akagariyama
10:30 Darryl Peach v Oliver Ortman

All of these will be full production with the 40 second shot clock in use....

Put it in starting with Charlie, eh? Good move. But he can play really well going fast; you may be creating a monster!

(Give him a 10-sec. clock and watch how it goes!)
