Craig, I am all for fair play. I had no issue with the whole Wimby thing because of the Act of God situation, but come on, even a horse with blinkers on can see that this is just not fair. In saying so a qualie can always be a dangerous opponent because they bring something to the table that is unfamiliar, but Federer is the No. 1 player in the world by virtue of his performance on the court. He does not need any help from anyone, which is why I am quite upset at this draw. He does not need any help and to my mind only makes him look like a weak and ineffectual No.1. It is a given that all No. 1 usually get an opponent like a qualifier for the opening round. Showcase to people why this individual is No.1 but as the draw progresses it is expected that the No.1 should have to earn his place in the final if that is where he wants to be. He does not and should not be given the keys to the ballroom to dance the first waltz, without having to do the quick step, foxtrot and everything else in between. Come on now. Case in point, look at Justine. Dont like the woman, but she is No. 1 in the world right now. Why would you put the best players on the WTA tour on one side of the draw and then put the also rans and the has been on the opposite side where the so-called golden girl is? It does not smell right and to be honest I think it is about time that all fans of tennis make their voice be heard. Re-do the draw. It makes absolutely no sense. Bodo posited that can you imagine the ratings if there is a Petrova-Henin final. Who would turn up – not a dang soul. Someone needs to investigate what is Larry Scott’s real intention for the WTA. Calling Billie-Jean, they are ruining the organisation that you co-founded sweetie. Leave WTT alone and come rescue the WTA from Larry Scott. On another note: could they not find a woman to run this organisation. They had to find a man with “vagina envy” to run a women’s organisation. Where is the justice in that. And I do not care 2 hoots about being politically correct, forget that, Larry Scott needs to go and go now.
Wow, you must have felt very happy when you read his comments. I misesd Inoui ID’s products too! But a pity it won’t come back.
