Joao Fonseca has become the first player born in 2006 to break into the Top 50. The Brazilian continues to show relatively exceptional precocity.

Christopher Eubanks spoke about the hype surrounding Fonseca and defended him during Andy Roddick’s podcast: "What really bothers me is the whole Fonseca thing.

I’ve seen some people, some comments, and certain fans sharing their opinions, saying: ‘I still don’t get the hype around Fonseca.’

He lost to Jarry at Wimbledon, but he took a set. And I’m thinking, he’s already played three Grand Slam tournaments, just broke into the Top 100, and he also has a title on the tour.

But now he’s reached a point where, just because he hasn’t made the second week yet, people are saying he simply isn’t at that level, that they don’t understand the hype.

I’m like: ‘But what are we talking about?’

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.

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...
