I simply think it's a fake injury that women use to gain time to rethink her game, break her apponent concentration or simply safe her dignity & avoid humilation in loosing to a lower ranked player. Last year Marry Pierce & Maria Sharapova came on the top of the list.
Do you think the tennis organization should sanction such conduct ?
Answer by Luke G
The problem is that you can't really be sure if the player is lieing.
Answer by Naruto Fan
they do this cause in some reasons, players get to restart the game. It is really hard to decide if it should sanction such conduct. Cuz there could be lots of reasonings.

It is because some players risk playing matches when they are actually a bit injured. But, if they find that they are going to lose the match, playing or not playing, they retire mid-match so as not to aggravate their injury. It's actually the other way round of what you are thinking.

Well, they wrote the rules to encourage such actions, not discourage them, and some players (Mary Pierce for one) takes full advantage of them.
She tool injury timeouts to disrupt her opponent, because in some cases, she looked physically stronger after the alleged "injury" timeout than before she took the timeout.
The WTA has a fine line to walk because many of its best players are getting injured because the season is too long, and they force players into playing too many "mandatory" events. Both those requirements will be relaxed in the near future, but I would think that you still need rules to protect injured players, but hopefully not have them too lenient that some players would use those rules for a psychological advantage.

you make a good point ! I can't remember any who walked out of a match if she was a game or a set up.

The women may fake injuries to get time to regroup and think their game. However I have seen injuries when women are up so I dont think that all the injuries are faked however some may be.
Answer by 155mph
Look at Justin Henin she faked al sort of things because she was afraid of Serena Williams's serve. They do it due to $ because females get less prize money the men in some opens.
Answer by jchinn84
I usually give the players the benefit of the doubt. If they are injured then why continue to play to make their injury worse? I think there are more important conducts such as taking your sweet time serving and other more important rules male and female tennis players are breaking.
