This is a campaign against the most ridiculous decision ever taken since the Captain of the Titanic uttered the words "Iceberg What iceberg"
It appears that a wildcard into the main draw of Madrid TMS has been awarded to Fabio Fognini... Why waste a perfectly good spot in a TMS main draw by giving it to a hardcourt hack who just lost to a player ranked 440 indoors, when actually semi-decent players like Moya, Ferrero, Guccione, Tipsarevic, Safin or Nishikori are all out of the cut All sensible tennis fans must feel shocked and appalled by this turn of events and therefore, once you have wiped the coffee/tea you just blurted out in astonished anger upon reading this news, I urge you to appeal against this debacle by signing this petition. I will then send all your signatures to Madrid TMS organisers, including my good pal Ion Tiriac, and let them know we will not stand for this. Thank you.
I am actually laughing at the emails I have been getting because some of you are even angrier than I am which I frankly did not think was possible. I am still trying to get Ion Tiriac on the phone but the man is basically a ghost right now so keep bringing the energy because someone at that tournament desk has to be checking their inbox eventually.

Ridiculous decision. Why reward such poor form? Waste of a wildcard when there are real pros waiting for a chance.
