You get drawn against a WC, you play a WC. That's not anything you can affect. What's the problem?
Maybe you lose to a WC. That's disappointing. What's the problem in saying so.
Perhaps you beat A WC.
No match is a foregone conclusion, no matter how reductively ine could pretend otherwise. If they were, bookies would be in big trouble.
So, well done to you, and you have my congratulations, and wishes that you win the next round. Even if it's against another WC.
You just try to beat the player in front of you, that's good enough for me. I presume they'll be trying to beat you too.
Next week you'll perhaps get the top seed. And all the reverse of that will be true.
It all smoothes out in the long run.
But, we operate in the very short run. Of match-to-match.
It's only natural to comment on every match, and the fortunes of each draw and each opponent.
The alternative is to wait until the end of the year and do a weighted meta-analysis of draw strength probabilities and performance against some sort of benchmark.
That's just not very practical.

Entering tournaments that offer direct financial reward for performance, pretty much exactly distunguishes them as professional.
20+ weeks a year of competition, more match days than a Premier League season (or, for you, Scottish PL season), spread over longer than the Premier League season. 50% of matches lasting longer than a PL match.
But still a hobby?

What is it, if not time commitment and earning the living from the sport, that makes them professional?
At what age should players get out of the sport then?
If they're not... top 200? by 20?
What if they're 201 on their 20th birthday, do they automatically become a hobbyist on that date (or whatever the date and cutoff are?)

Or can they just play for as long as they like and are able?
And we'll support them (or not) win, lose, or draw a WC.

Jaggy - I also find your comments very disrespectful.

Beth is full time and often travels with her brother and a coach to events and she seems to be having a real go at improving her ranking. She is from a real tennis playing family and enjoys playing the game.
She is very serious about her tennis.
Yes - she may not have the natural talent to break into the top 200 singles, but she is more than capable of improving her singles ranking and playing and winning matches at 15k and 25k tournaments.
