    Everyone ever notice how many retirements happen in Majors?

    Tursonov retires in the middle of a breaker? Did he roll the ankle?

    Anyway, just seems that if i were a Prof player I would literally have to break my leg or have an on court heart attack to quit.I mean just for making the field you get 30,000 dollars plus, which is like winning an ATP 250 or making the final of 1.making the Round of 64 or 32 is like winning a ATP 500.Not to mention the rankings points which will pay dividends the rest of the season. Seems like a lack of fitness might be the problem more so than not. You can tell a players motivation and drive when you see this at the biggest $$ making tourneys like majors.

    EDIT: 7 walkovers/Retirements so far..

    Good post beefy!!! Me too, fuk man. I would have to wheeled off in a fing wheelchair to get me to retire. I would secretly be putting the IV in my arm on the change overs so I could keep playing the next 2 games. These mother fers retire like its nothing. I didn't see the Turso match, but retiring in a breaker, it MUST of been bad huh???

    I mean I know you gets lots of cash for just showing up, but why would you not want to even try? If there is any match you will ever play that you have the most to win from playing it's at a Grand Slam...

    Some injuries legit. Others, soft players. Lu has had ankle.foot problems for years. He gave the walkover with an ankle issue today. Tursunov had a leg problem coming in and strained his thigh today for his retirement.

    with all these injuries happening and retirements the play might be drop a few pebbles on some of the long long long shots,

    stak-60-1
    reynolds 60-1
    garcia 70-1

    maybe u get lucky and fed joker or serena has a fall and can't continue

    This is too close to the French, they should add a week.

    they are adding a week. I think next year has the added week in between.

    Maybe some players played too much lately (with the FO and then a grass tournament and then Wimbledon), and the surface was very bad in the first round. Several players were vocal about that.

    Saw Gilbert mentioning about Wimbledon not allowing players to wear grass studs since it was harming the pristine grass of All England.Good reason for all the slipping..

    Entirely dependant on bookmaker terms. Check the rules.

    I know what their rules are. The issue is whether they will grade by their rules or not.

    Oh well it's Tony so... tough luck?

    I know you have a choice in bookmakers, and it looks like you've made the wrong one.

    5 Dimes is one of the only books to play at because they do pay.

    Just not a fan of how they handle disputes.

    Have to hope they grade it correctly so I don't have to waste time arguing with CS. It's still pending.

    So you should get it back then?

    I hope you do if that's the case.

    Not surprisingly, 5 Dimes graded it incorrectly and is now refusing to fix it.

    Sorry to hear it.

    You should make a fuss about this. Add to the shitstorm surrounding f4ggot boy Tony on these boards. Check out the relevant section of the forum.

    the CS person wasted my time for 40 minutes. I finally asked for the person responsible for writing the rules on tennis. She transferred me to Tony. He agreed to refund the money.
