Lately, I’ve noticed an increasing number of player retirements in tour matches. While I get that it can sometimes stem from momentary frustration—and setting aside valid off-court reasons—I still think it shows a lack of sportsmanship and ruins the tournament draws.

I'm starting this thread to propose a penalty system for players who accumulate retirements. For example, 3 retirements = tournament ban, or something along those lines. I honestly believe this is something that should be penalized.

Looking fordward to hear your thoughts.

10 retirements during this US Open. Shinning between them this one:

I agree with you. It's poor sportsmanship to WO and retire without good reason. The only thing I'm worried about is the work this may create for moderators to track the occurrences as well as deal with the extra conversations they may have to have because of this.

I simply agree with this, nothing to say
