It's like forcing basketball players to do the high jump," Errani reacts to the absence of doubles players in mixed doubles

It's like forcing basketball players to do the high jump, Errani reacts to the absence of doubles players in mixed doubles

Sara Errani has reacted to the absence of doubles players in the mixed doubles event. With her compatriot Andrea Vavassori, they are the only representatives of doubles specialists, with the rest being composed of top singles players.

She states: "It's as if the Olympics banned real high jumpers from competing and forced basketball players to jump instead, because it's more interesting.

If you want to do that, go ahead, but don't give them medals. You can't organize a Grand Slam doubles tournament without allowing doubles players to compete.

It's excluding them from their sport. It's not fair.

Well I can see her perspective an maybe they shouldn’t give medals to the singles stars moonlighting in doubles but then maybe they give medals but not money to the mixed doubles specialists since no one was watching. I agree not fair to exclude them from honor but one does not have an inalienable right to get paid to play tennis. I would like to be paid to play too

It's a flashy, pretend-y exhibition tournament with a million dollar prize. Can't get more American than that. I do feel bad for the legitimate double specialists who have not been allowed to participate because they're not singles superstars.

So well done of them to win the thing - so you can let the basketball player do high jump but in the end those focusing and practicing high jump will win!

I propose the following changes to the rules:

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.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

This week I have used all my formulas and best guesses to try to achieve the high score jimandlori958 set in our last competition. I am two games short because of cancelations and I need all wins to get there.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Grenier and Hsu at the Kobe tournament? The match was played to completion and on time.

Grenier def Ysu 6-2 , 6-2 at Kobe today and the TT canceled the match.

2nd for me this week.

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.
