Day 7 (Saturday) – Singles: East F, ¾ Playoff; Gold F
Days 5 and 6 consolation schedules will vary depending on players remaining in doubles. Players will only play 1 singles and 1 doubles each day or 2 singles, but not 2 singles and 1 double. For example, on Day 5, if one player in the SE draw is still in doubles, then the SE draw will only play one round of singles that day. This means it is possible that some of the consolation finals will be on Saturday, Aug 10. Schedule is subject to change if weather is an issue.
