I believe I handled the situation in the correct manner. I will state that I did what I believe was the right thing. Wayne Ferreira is a 1996 TMS Toronto champion. Now ousted, Ferreira was bidding to make a comeback from a four-year title drought. Safin is now 2-0 against Ferreira, having also defeated him in February 1999 in the Rotterdam quarterfinals.
Rules are rules.
I don't know who is right. Safin will bid for the championship against Levy Sunday afternoon. Canada's Daniel Nestor and Sebastien Lareau will battle for the doubles crown. TSN will broadcast both finals. We welcome your feedback.
