00:00它是哭的像是是一種獎场 se rapper的架颈

00:06你感觉你必须得玩

00:09跟 certain rules the ATP have set up

00:11跟 the mandatory events

00:13days and you feel like you lose a lot

00:15if you don't show up and play

00:16both economically and point wise

00:18ranking wise and opportunity wise

00:21if my leg is broken I won't play

00:23but it's tough anyway

00:27especially when there's a time with mandatory events to skip them

00:30because the punishments are quite hard

00:32both in terms that everyone else will play and kind of gain points and you won't

00:37and also there's a certain bonus system set up

00:41that is reduced if you don't show up to the mandatory events

00:45so it's a questionable system

00:49because on one hand you don't want to show up injured

00:55and you maybe give the spot to another one

00:58I'm not sure if you're aware but if you don't play a mandatory event

01:03they cut 25% of your year-end bonus

01:06so it's a kind of

01:08you're kind of forcing players to show up injured or sick or whatever

01:12when that's not what I think is very fair
