Skan-Time !! Paris on the menuWith Kvitova withdrawing, I fear that RandomSkan won't win this one... Quite some damage after Day 1 on the WTA-sidne: Kerber (3 teams), Venus (4 teams) and Kvitova (13 teams). "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 menuI disagree with the scoring of Kvitova in the WTA SKAN scoring table as 0-1 0-1, which results in negative points for those with her on her team. It is penalty enough that she withdrew and is not available to score points on behalf of the teams. The points should be neutral as a result of her withdrawal. 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 menuSomeone asked a question about Kvitova's case and I think we should consider.
All people that selected Kvitova should get the LL in her place. Had the tournament not started, then obviously they would have the opportunity to select someone else... But in this case, we should give them the LL. I think that's fair.
Re: Skan-Time !! Paris on the menuThe Lucly Loser (LL) that is joining the draw. Re: 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. |
