The Federer match was supposed to start at 7 and actually started at like 9:45. Keys played Vesnina after and the match started at like 11:45 PM. We stayed for like 3-4 games but there were probably 1k or fewer people who stayed that long from a packed house for the Federer match.
Funny thing was part of the reason it started so late was the Nadal game vs Schwartzman went for nearly 4 hours to play only 4 sets and this caused Kyrgios, scheduled for 7pm, to start at 8.10pm. The scheduling is a joke anyway. It lists a men's game starting at 7pm and a women's at 9.30pm.
