  • Who is X and what is Y?

    7.2.10
    This case is a perfect example of how much pro players are in need of sleep. X's eldest daughter, Rosie, would snore very loudly. One night, in desperation, X tried earplugs to block out the noise but rammed them home so tightly that he damaged his inner ear. The next day, he felt nauseous and dizzy as he faced Guillermo Coria and was clobbered in the first round of the Cincinnati Masters. Somewhat embarrassed, he did not admit to his mistake until several months later.

    Y is an event whose reports on the press conferences and player quotes are known for the fact that the statements are reported exactly as they were stated, irrespective of any errors in the speech of the players. This the organisers say preserves the human-ness. The Women's Singles winner is presented with the Daphne Akshurst Memorial Cup., whereas the winner in Men's category is awarded the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup.
