@TennisDummies Yes because the summary of the path is usually based on rankings, so the highest ranked player he could face in that round gets mentioned.
But there are always other threats because of youngsters still coming up the rankings or injuries knocking good players down the rankings.
@TennisDummies But at the AO if it was bo3 Sinner had that match won. At RG 2025 & 2026 if it was bo3 Sinner had those matches wrapped up, it would've been straight sets in both, so bo5 does play a bit of a role. Yes there was luck involved of course but bo5 still played a role.
@JasonHirsch16@Archaicmind3000 No they give a whereabouts window for every day, but the players don't know on which day the testers will show up. It can be on any random day they show up.
@bonk623@tennisweeklypod I actually did say that the rules should be strict and that she should be penalised, just read the rest of what I said. I am not saying there shouldn't be punishment but there also needs to be a level of respect towards the players. They also deserve some downtime and privacy.
@tennisweeklypod And as a woman myself living in a country that does have a high crime rate I completely understand the fear, I am not opening a door at 8pm for a stranger either. With all that said, doping rules should be strict, she should get penalised sure but I think 4 years is overkill.
@tennisweeklypod Then the psychology of it, it is very possible that at first she felt scared as she claimed, then she realised who it was and felt violated and while trying to rationalise what just happened she got angry, that is a normal for anyone to have emotions shift between moments (3)

@luerble@VasekPospisil@ptpaplayers@BenRothenberg@itia_tennis@Nike@ROLEX That is a him problem, maybe he should've played less then.
The criticism is not that he had a MTO, it's him repeatedly using the same tactic and now suddenly mid game as well.
Let him have the MTO but either finish the point or forfeit the point that is what Fairplay is.
@luerble@VasekPospisil@ptpaplayers@BenRothenberg@itia_tennis@Nike@ROLEX When the doctor asked him what is wrong, he could've said something like "I didn't feel well when I woke up, but now it has escalated to dizziness and nausea", that is usually how symptoms are described.
Or when she went to him yes let's forfeit the point and get a doctor.
