Skan-Time !! Paris on the menuThis should be a choice I think. With Kvitova withdrawing, the teams don't lose points. But if they get a LL who gets killed 6-1 6-1, that's a lots of negative points. LOL LOL. Obviously if the LL wins, the teams get some points.
Re: Skan-Time !! Paris on the menuthanks for the info - 2/3 of my wta are a goner - including Kvitova - so ll will do lol Re: Skan-Time !! Paris on the menuIt is not the first time that a player withdraws... sometimes it happens in R1, sometimes in R2...R3. Bad luck happens, there is always the next Skan. Ps: picking another player is simply no option as the draw has progressed. "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Re: Skan-Time !! Paris on the menuNo.. it's not same. When a player withdraws in R2 and beyond, they don't replace her with a LL. In my case here, If I was given a choice to take the LL in place of my lost Kvitota, I would abstain. Chances that the LL loses 6-1 6-1 is greater than her bringing my team any point. But others may want to take that LL, as seen here by CrossCourtBH. Re: Skan-Time !! Paris on the menuI'm in agreement with Grav'. The Skanner takes the hit if a player withdraws after the tourney begins and you don't get the option of replacing that player with a LL. Your team has just crashed for this Skan. Next Skan..... I'm a little ticked with the timing of this by Petra K, for she withdrew from Rome with the issue and, apparently has had the issue for some time, including her practice time during the week in Paris. Yet, she waits 'til the day of her lst match to get an MRI, discovering the small tear in her left forearm, necessitating her withdrawal, how lame is that? Btw, the young, promising teen for the men, Felix AA, withdrew and 7 Skanners have taken the hit. That's the way it goes sometimes..... Re: Skan-Time !! Paris on the menuIt's been a rough R1 for a lot of teams; so far 24 losses in WTA (Kvitova taking most with 13), and 18 in ATP. And R1 is not even completed. How many complete teams will get into R2? I have Halep and Zverev in action. I am surprised that I am the only one with the #4,5,6 in ATP (Thiem, Zverev, Tsitsipas); the three most promising next-generation guys, two of them beating Nadal on clay this year. Maybe I will regret having Zverev later today, but I really wanted both Thiem and Tsitsipas, and did not want to pick a lower-ranked guy to complete my ATP-players.

Paris on the menuWe reasoned out years ago not to award LL's to contestants in place of withdrawing players. Doing so could well backfire, with a LL losing badly in the first round and racking up considerable negative points and making the situation even worse for the contestant. But it makes no sense to score a Withdrawal with the artifical score 0-1 0-1 and penalizing the contestant as a result. There is no basis for the number of points that the contestant is penalized with by virtue of scoring it arbitrarily that way. go firmly to the window and listen with deep emotion, but not with the whining, the pleas of the coward; listen-your final pleasure-to the voices, to the exquisite music of that strange procession Re: Skan-Time !! Paris on the menuI see this has been corrected with a new scoring protocol for WO's. Thanks for doing that! go firmly to the window and listen with deep emotion, but not with the whining, the pleas of the coward; listen-your final pleasure-to the voices, to the exquisite music of that strange procession Re: Skan-Time !!
