Some how I can understand when the tournament directors are getting angry about late withdrawls. (And the fans as well)
And it seams that it's getting worse and worse. Almost each tournament now has to face late cancellations. Due to sometimes really strange excuses. (No injuries or illness which is acceptable. Not sure if I'll accept fatigue in this categorie as well. The players should know their body good enough to know how many tournaments they can play before they need a longer rest.)
A lot of players are always asking for more and more pricemoney but at the otherhand they don't show up at tournaments where they have comitted before. O.K. the players are supposed to get fined for not showing up at a tournament but does that really hurt the players?? What else could be done to avoid this bad habit of late withdrawls?? Could tournament directors not accept an entry of a player when they haven't shown up say the the last two or three tournaments where they were supposed to play?? I mean tennis became such a big business now that you can expect some profesionalism from each side as well. When I don't show up at work with no valid reason more than once I risk to get fired as well.
O.K. maybe my point of view can't be realised but what could be done better to avoid this encreasing amount of late withdrawls with IMO no valid reason??
