We just had the New Zealand Open tennis last week and since it's a bit lower key it is a) generally less tense and b) the ones that grunt and shriek their way to victory tend not to attend. I think it leads to a better game.

As for Mats, well, he can just do what he pleases. I dunno about the effects the injury might have on his decision making process, but I feel like if he wants to play, he should do that. He can always decide to call it quits if it turns out to be too painful, y'know.

But as we both know, hockey is hard to say goodbye to, injury be damned
