Holger Rune seals 2022 BMW Munich Open after Van de Zandschulp forced to retire

Holger Rune won the 2022 BMW Munich Open by technically defeating Botic van de Zandschulp in the final as the Dutch player retired leading 4-3 in the first set.
The Dutch player had a tremendous week in Munich taking down some stellar opponents but something serious happened in the final as he was playing rather well. He was up early against Rune who was quite a bit excited, probably too much. He eventually battled back as the Dutch player failed to keep up the high level.
He then took a medical timeout that lasted over 15 minutes which is neither the norm nor normal. He eventually returned playing a few points and retired soon after. He did not stick around during the trophy ceremony and was spotted leaving with ambulance staff. More to follow.

- If they find a good balance it does not really matter. Wild Cards are a nice tool to give players a chance but also to fill seats. Is that fair? That discussion will always be there. And discussion is also good for tennis 😁 I think it is good to have them.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
