I see many players are frustrated with the schedule, but some of them, like Sharapova, are more willing to defend their position. Other players should follow and support her!

…and I think since the Nadal/Sharapova rants, pull outs are now tagged "the official reason for…" like we're in cynical mode. Maybe they're pulling out to PREVENT injury but they have to state an official reason…like Maria wrote.

Schedule better, (not more mandatory 1000s or whatever) loosen the rules, so that the whole field doesn't have to fall to injury or have to give silly official reasons.
