PARIS (AP) — Catching the right amount of sleep is no easy task in Grand Slam tennis these days — for the athletes or those watching them compete.

Their third-round match began after 10:30 p.m. on Saturday and didn’t wrap up until after 3 a.m. on Sunday. That’s not great for anyone involved. The biggest problem is that no one can get on the same page when it comes to finding a fix.
