Isner also doesn't understand why a player and a champion of nadal's stature is being relegated to a side court.

its just the French organizers being inconsiderate and ignorant. I am not too happy about it.

As I mentioned before, it could very well be Nadal himself who put the request through to the Organizers to play on Suzanne Lenglen court and it's the 2nd biggest court, not a side court. Top players are supposed to play at least one match over to Suzanne and Nadal's opponent is ranked 279 after all, so it's really not crying for a bigger draw as big a player as Nadal is.

In any case, it's not about the ego but getting the job done. Can't speak for anyone else but I'd be perfectly fine with Andy not opening his first match on CC at Wimbledon though I am quite convinced most Murray fans would see it as an insult.
