when I read your Match Topic (
topic37-13686.php ), I see one guy that was there most of the time since almost 30 hours before the deadline, and another one that arrived a couple of hours just before the deadline, quite late in the evening. So yup, according to the rules, which state that you have to do your best effort to organize your matches, Sampreas was all right to give a WO to your opponent.
i have no idea what this 30 hours before deadline should mean because i didn't even know my opponent for so long, we had 25 hours to play a match, starting quite late in the Saturday evening. And what did he do more than me to organize match, he didn't add me on skype, he didn't specify the time when he can play, and I can't even see on his profile when he was online last time !? He was just online much more time than me in 25 hours
I asked him if he can play that evening, 1 hour after he answered yes and some time after he gets w.o.

I guess it would be a big deal for the Tour and this forum to wait a few more hours (at least after the deadline really passed) for Semis of a Master tournament to be played
As I can see most of the matches this week (of course it is not only this week, it's more like all the time, seems like this is very specific match

) were decided by w.o like 5-6 hours after the time our match was decided (when deadline was really over)
I guess it was very important to decide this match this early
I wouldn't say a thing if that was the case when my opponents came near the dadline, and of course there was much more time to play a match but NO, always losing on RL
