Surely the ATP need to do something about this.

 

[Poetik]

for sure, this is a joke.

over 3.00 on Romanian pair look very tasty for me

 

[Filo V.]

He did virtually the same exact thing in Kitzbuhel. The next week, he won a challenger.

Italy mafia, nothing more

:lol:

Should be a rule, retire in singles can't play in doubles if on same day or something, at the very least.

what a fighter :worship:

He was in Chile in Monday playing on hardcourt and didn'r recover fully for the singles match.

 

[leng jai]

I lol'ed. Faker and Nadull need to up their game.

 

[RonaldGomez]

In doubles you don't have to be 100% physically. Llodra retired in singles in Washinton and won the title in doubles.

 

[KaiserT]

6-2 5-1 up in the doubles, I am so relieved that Potito's blood pressure is ok, he had me worried there...

 

[Certinfy]

He recovered quickly.

 

[Filo V.]

He didn't recover, he was losing and decided to quit. Doubles is less stress for the body and obviously you have a partner and you don't want to let them down and withdraw. But he had zero motivation or intention of winning his singles match.

Very clear that some people don't play tennis in this thread, or if they do, they are at Jerry/Milos level...

 

[Filo V.]

That's been made clear a long time ago. Not many people on this forum know anything about the game.

 

[ossie]

mugs like starace should be banned

:yeah:

Doubles are waaay more easy to play when you have a slight injury or are tired.
It's a bit shocking to play two hours after a retirement, I know.

Close thread. :wavey:

 

[Alex999]

He recovered quickly.

yup, lol.

All players are fakers. It's all about money. Nole and Nadal are the biggest fakers . Where is that song from ABBA "money, money, money" :wavey:

 

[MuzzahLovah]

To be honest, strategic retirements and medical time outs are just part of the game now. I'd rather see that than someone injuring themselves needlessly for some sort of bravado.
