I think that obviously as long as the rule is like that, a player will use it to their advantage. I think that it’s very simple: if you’re hurt bad, or whatever you’re hurt, while the game’s going on of your opponent, in the middle of the game, the opponent is serving, the shot clock is on, basically when you’re hurt bad, you’re forfeiting every point until you can call the physio."

If you’re hurt bad, then you retire, obviously. But to stop in the middle of an opponent’s service game and to be able to call the physio, I think that’s a disgrace of a rule." (3:00 onwards) Felix Auger-Aliassime will face Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals.
