I don't know why some people think a 45 hour period isn't enough for 20-ish athletes to recover fully from a 2-hour aerobic exercise like basketball.   That's a typical weekend interval for games, whether college or pro.

I just looked at the schedule for Wimbledon.  Djokovic played on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, and 14.  If 48-hours were not enough to recover, the finals match would surely be disgusting as the players would have to be dragged out of their hospital beds.

If a player can't rest  or keep a near-normal schedule during that interval, then problems arise.  Travel issues, late-night arrivals, and the like will cause problems.   I bet Tara regrets not being able to do a shoot-around before Thursday's game.
