masterclass said:Unfortunately, what I feared would happen, did happen. Many "responsible" news sites are spouting headlines:
"Stan Wawrinka beats injured Rafael Nadal to win Australian Open" or variations on that theme.
Even if that is true, Stan played some of the best tennis of his life to unquestionably lead/dominate the match until the injury/MTO, was able to win despite the mental trauma caused by his friend's apparently debilitating injury, so why couldn't he get a more respectable headline, like;
"Stan Wawrinka's power breaks down Nadal to win Australian Open"
- CBS News
- Foxnews
- ABC
- The Globe and Mail
- Daily Mail UK
Just disgraceful...
At least the BBC was kinder:

Respectfully,

You know what? I betcha his coach will round up all those headlines lay them on the table and use them to fire up Stan for their next meeting. Not saying it will lead to a win, but I know it will motivate him.
