It also can mean staying up past one’s bedtime.“If I could never play at 1 a.m. ever again for the rest of my life, I would be so happy,” No. 7 seed Keys, a 30-year-old born in Illinois and based in Florida, said with a laugh. “You know when you’re going to go on. There’s no chaos. You go to bed at a totally normal time. I feel like I’ve lived my night-owl life, and I would really love to be that first-on slot for the rest of time.”

Tennis isn’t a timed sport, so it’s anyone’s guess when, say, a day’s third or fourth match in a given arena will begin — and as the temperature and weather shifts across the hours, the clay at the French Open can shift, too.Daily schedules often are released in the late afternoon or evening prior, and, those aren’t always accepted.

But the person said the organization felt there was a need for a new voice when the Knicks try again to end their lengthy championship drought. They won their second and last title in 1973.Thibodeau is well aware of their history, having grown up as a Knicks fan in Connecticut before joining the organization as an assistant coach in 1996.

He went on to help the Boston Celtics win the 2008 NBA title as an assistant, earning a reputation as one of the league’s top defensive minds, before finally getting a chance as a head coach with the Bulls in 2010-11. He went 62-20 in his first season, earning his first Coach of the Year award.Thibodeau, who spent five seasons with the Bulls and also coached Minnesota, is 578-420 as a head coach.
