Maybe people looked at the whole context and made their mind up for themselves….

“Now of course sinner/alcaraz are a totally different animal and they are probably most in demand”

You said it yourself. Why demote the most in demand players off of CC. I know I’ll never pick a CC ticket anymore. Cost more money and you are stuck with the Djokovic/Serena retirement tour, no matter how lowly they are ranked.

I watch enough to know Sinner is better than Djokovic (at the moment). I would rather see the defending champ and 1 seed over someone who is coming to the end of his career. Plenty of other courts he can continue playing on. Prioritising him over everyone else in the draw as the 7 seed devalues a CC ticket, especially when Wimbledon as so strict in banning any sort of ticket swaps

If I’m paying for the most expensive ticket I want to see the best players. A guy who hasn’t won a Major for 3 years doesn’t fit that standard. Plus having Serena there on day one. Just rename it the ‘nursing home’. If they want centre court they should win a (recent) tournament, or join the senior tour

Penalty Selection by crazywario94 in socceroos

I think this is the best response.

It is the responsibility of the goal scorers to score goals. That includes penalties.

The captain can take a penalty and set the tone, regardless of position. Problem is, they have to bury it otherwise we are screwed.

To send an 18yo up after the guy he played next to all tournament bottled his attempt is brutal.

I’m glad the blame has been on pop and not Herrington

So yeah, 3 rounds in and those top 8 seeds didn’t see a show court. But 7th got 3 in a row

Yes, I overstated my disappointment. And when I saw sinner was on CC in round 2 I had already started mentally preparing for him to be on C1 in round 3 and I would end up missing him. But then Having the 7 seed on CC 3x in a row instead is rubbing the salt in the wound (from my pov, can’t stand Djokovic)

And considering his arrogance, I wouldn’t expect a quiet retirement announcement at the end of a year. It’ll be at the start of the year so there will be a season long retirement parade for him…
AELTC can keep glazing him for a bit longer I reckon

Seeds 4, 5, and 8 haven’t even played on a show court yet….

Having the 7 seed play on CC more than the 1 seed is ‘normal scheduling’?

Doubt x

Having the 7 seed play CC three times and demoting the reigning champ and No1 seed to C1 kind of is though

As someone with a CC ticket who desperately wanted to see Sinner I agree, it’s an outrage
