Everyone is clueless on Ledovskikh vs Kukushkin. :haha:

I think many here now know what it's like to play Challengers. :p

I hope this Ledovskikh is a choker. :unsure:

Well I did say so yesterday :shrug: :p

Everyone is clueless on Ledovskikh vs Kukushkin. :haha:

I think many here now know what it's like to play Challengers. :p

That's exactly what I thought. I'm glad I don't have to play qualies and challengers. It's not very comfortable to be dependant on a guy you don't even know how to pronounce. At least that Ledowskich won...

:hug: Marksman

Ledovskikh was the obvious pick, he's been around for a longer time and managed to qualify for Metz also :p

Ledovskikh was the obvious pick, he's been around for a longer time and managed to qualify for Metz also :p

Of course, and that's why I picked him in the end. But that the other guy hasn't played events like Metz doesn't automatically mean he's worse than Ledovskikh. Kukushkin's ranking is even higher...

Adam lost???? good :p

:woohoo:

:p

:hug: deea and aleka :kiss: :inlove:

we lost today because we couldnt stare at the ball..we were dazzled by this girls' beauty :awww:

nice strategy girls ;) i guess showing up in micro-bathing suits on court really worked :sobbing:

Vamos Aimee, and vamos Gulbis! :rocker2: (though it really could screw us in doubles if I play against Aimee in the singles final :lol: )

I thought SRs didn't count if a player retired:confused:

me too!

sorry my fault :hug:

I thought SRs didn't count if a player retired:confused:after what happened in the Acapulco qualies, I would like to bring a possible rule change into discussion...

In the current set ratio system, if a player retires in the match, the match is still counted but the set ratio is not. It feels a bit unfair if a player retires when he's for example 6-4 4-0 down, and in TT some player would have needed that match to be 2-0 to go through. Now it will go to the next SR and he might lose the match because of the retirement.

I know some bookmakers use the rule in set betting that if one set is completed and a player retires after that, he will be counted as losing all the remaining sets too. For example:

Rochus def. Lee 6-1 4-0 ret. -> Rochus 2-0 (or 3-0)
Rochus def. Lee 6-1 ret. -> Rochus 2-0 (or 3-0)
Rochus def. Lee 6-1 1-4 ret. -> Rochus 2-0 (or 3-0)

What do you guys think? Is there a need to change the rules a bit or not? I'd say yes...

This rule was introduced as of Indian Wells 2007. I'm guessinging of you guys had Youzhny @ 2-1?

This is one of the many areas that will be reviewed once we complete our second season of TT.

so it's count or not? :confused:

sorry my fault :hug:

:hug:
dont worry

just dont give us any more scares.
my heart cant handle!

so it's count or not? :confused:What was the score on retirement? If a set was completed then yes otherwise not.

What was the score on retirement? If a set was completed then yes otherwise not.

6-4 ret YOuzhny .....

6-4 ret YOuzhny .....If there have been no further changes to the rules since Indian Wells 2007 then match counts as a 2-0 SR. Ville will know of any rule changes if there have been any.

can someone take this to the managers please?

i´m getting dizzy with all those explanations :lol:
