MTO's

First topic message reminder :

I may have called Nadal's MTO too critically today. He turned out to have a problem, but he has taken many dubious ones, and he is not alone.

Would it not be a better rule to say that the penalty of any MTO regardless of circumstances is to forfeit upto and including the taker's next service game? Then there is no risk or perceived risk of tactics and tennis reflects what it is, a game of fitness to play and skill? If you are unfit for any reason the bad luck should remain where it falls.

LF, try googling '<player 1> <player 2> <tournament> <year> as it happened' then on the page F3 to search for 'medical'
e.g. for wimby 2007 it gives http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2007/jul/08/tennis.wimbledon6
'medical' when Rafa 5-1 in the 4th

That is what I have been doing. It is still painfully slow, because sometimes other non-Match threads show up. I am also going year-by-year using Advanced Search.

I don't envy you the task!
