Tennis' Penalty System Is Cleaner


Squash should follow the lead of the USTA and eliminate the warning from the equation when players misbehave.

In pro squash matches, players are often warned multiple times, which is ridiculous.

In tennis, it's:

First offense: Point

Second offense: Game

Third offense: Match

Nice and clean, a progressive three-step system, dangling over anyone thinking of misbehaving.

And squash needs to make one more rule: If you open the door to argue with the ref, it's an automatic offense.
