I don't know if the thought came into play at all in staying in the draw at Kitzbuhel, (and why he played doubles, I'll never understand), but for the first time in his career, at the age of 28, Philipp is a Top 20 player, thanks to the ranking points he earned this weekend. Did that factor into his decision to remain in the draw? I don't know, but I'm sure there's a lot of pride in being able to say that when you look back on your career.

I suspect that is the type of thinking that comes into it for some guys of his standing or slightly below.

But from the fan view, the Olympics is massive and only comes around every four years. No disrespect to Kitzbuhel........here comes the disrespect

.........hardly anyone cares about Kitzbuhel. Apart from when it comes to skiing.
