When you are a professional athlete competing before a paying crowd, you have an obligation to finish every match you are engaged in, unless you are injured.
James Willstrop was clearly hindered by the court conditions last night in Egypt, but by all acounts there was nothing physically wrong with him.
If this was the case, the world number one, of all players, needs to stay out there and finish it off, frustrating as it may be.
It is difficult to picture Geoff Hunt, Jonah Barrington or Jahangir Khan giving up in the finals of a major tournament because of unsatisfactory court conditions.
James shouldn't have quit yesterday.
