The ATP Finals in Turin kicked off this Sunday with a clash between Carlos Alcaraz and Alex de Minaur. While the Spaniard was heading towards a relatively comfortable first set, he ultimately missed 3 double-break opportunities before being broken by the Australian.

In the tie-break, de Minaur led 5-3 before collapsing and losing the tie-break. Following the tie-break, Alcaraz broke his opponent immediately in the second set but gave the break right back to the Australian.

But the Spaniard quickly regrouped and took control with a break and then a double-break. Alcaraz will play again on Tuesday against Taylor Fritz, while de Minaur will face Musetti.

Interviewed on court after the match, the Spaniard said: "It's always a pleasure to come and play here in Turin. I'm here for the title and the world number one spot. Alex is always a tough opponent, I'm happy with my first win and looking forward to the rest of the tournament."

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...
