Arthur Fils seemed to have got his season back on track by winning the ATP 500 Hamburg, the biggest title of his career, on July 21. But things haven't quite gone according to plan since then. The 20-year-old Frenchman, ranked 24th in the world, was beaten in the first round of the Paris Olympics by Matteo Arnaldi (6-4, 7-6) and then in the first round of the Montreal Masters 1000 by Ugo Humbert (6-2, 6-2).

He made it through the first round in Cincinnati on Tuesday, defeating the modest American Brandon Holt, a qualifier ranked 227th in the world. But he stumbled in the second round on Thursday, losing to Brandon Nakashima in just under two hours and two sets (7-5, 7-6).

As the Frenchman himself said a few weeks ago, he'll now have to show himself capable of playing his best tennis with greater consistency if he's to reach a new milestone in his rise to the top.

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...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.
