Should we get it out of the way and simply ask if he's Alize Lim? We have plenty questions left.
Report wisewords March 4, 2023 2:43 AM GMT
I don't think it is though. hmmm

do you think he classes Lim as retired? he said this person is definitely retired

I had 2 ideas but one of them won a WTA title(2), so that eliminates her

He might have googled her before answering and come across a podcast from August last year which sounds like she has retired indeed.

Not sure I can remember a final speeches where neither player even mentioned their opponent, no congratulations, nothing.

Yes. But better to work that out beforehand and not have awkward moments then and there. I think this was the best way to do it.
