Who wins if both players retire simultaneously? I suppose BYE is declared the winner...

But, if everyone retires in such fashion in the first round of a tournament, who gets the trophy? Does BYE get his/her name finally recognized on the roll of past champions? Will the sponsors know what to do if no one is there to shake hands with them?

One person per match bows out....so in the end....one person will get the trophy by default without playing a single match.....you better believe that winner will go down in history with an asterisk next to her name! Think of it as a chance for a player to win a wta title event where she never would have or ....ever will again

Personally, is it going to take something DRASTIC to make these people open their eyes?
