    Default Feels like an anticlimax

    Well, just got home and thought I'd watch the end of the women's aust open final. But what an odd finish. Has anyone retired in a grand slam final before?

    Would feel like a bizare way to win.

    I'm sure someone has retired before, goughy, but noone comes to mind.

    I'm regretting not putting some money on Mauresmo. Passed a few TABs this morning, and I kept telling the missus I was going to, but never did.

    Fitting champion, she was in great form.

    i must admit the whole thing felt totally wrong    the crowd would've been very disappointed ... but there's not a helluva lot anyone could've done.

    I would've picked Henin-Hardeene to win if she was fit.

    It's still a result.

    technically its not a result, if your betting on the match, if had bet at the start that she would be champion then yes you would take home a bit of money. But if you bet on the match, its concluded as a non result and you get a return of money..... i think its wrong but thats how they see it...its in thier rules for betting somewhere

    I think Beuno may have defaulted against Court in a final during the 60s.

    nothing new for the queen of gamesmanship really...

    i appreciate the fact she was sick this time but she's always enjoyed using injury timeouts to stop her opponents if they get on a roll
