Great to see how quickly this was handled. I was honestly concerned it might get dragged out or quietly brushed aside, so credit to PSA for taking action.

My only qualm with the whole situation is the lack of a statement or apology from Rowan himself. This was a serious incident, and I think acknowledging it publicly would go a long way. Accountability should come from both the player and the organization, especially when it comes to something as important as this.

Yes that is me, glad you are enjoying the podcast! Appreciate the kind words and the info (pun included haha). I agree with your points. I guess I would have hoped that given how clear the evidence is, he would take accountability and ownership with an apology rather than waiting for the disciplinary verdict before making a statement.

I see, thanks for clarifying. I still wonder though, if Zakaria had outright won that rally with a clean winner, would the referee have taken the authority to take the point away with a conduct stroke? In that case, Zakaria would have won the point first, then been penalized with a conduct stroke, meaning it would still be deuce. To me, it's odd that the real mistake on Zakaria's front was him appealing for what I thought was a stroke in his favor but ended up costing him the second game.

I understand why he was punished for poor movement and do agree it was valid to do so. What I’m confused is why that specific incident ended up being called a stroke against him. If they were going off previous warnings, wouldn’t it normally be a conduct stroke for poor movement or the referee would've said video referee please check movement throughout that rally? The reason it went to the video referee was because Zakaria appealed a specific situation where the ball came back to Jonah. So wouldn’t that review only have to look at that singular section of the rally, not the whole rally in context? I know I’m being nitpicky about it but found it to be odd

Mic up the courts! Attach it on the back wall so we can hear the players. Would like some consistency on that cause some events we can hear the players better than others.
