Ralf Souquet is WPA Player Representative. What is that about? What does a Player Rep do? Wasn't Johnny Archer something like that before?
Sounds like low level position with little or no authority. .
Legend like Ralf deserves more. He is Kaiser (i.e. Emperor) so shouldn't he be given a bigger position like Chairman or Chief President or something?
UN has Permanent Representatives from every country and more. They are all over place. US House of Rep has 400+ representatives. Everyone is a representative of something.
Shaw is representative of bad loser. Mika is representative of crybaby.
Just saying. I should stop now :grin:

And he is "the" Player Representative, so I guess one is enough.

"Players can now be assured that their thoughts will be conveyed through a proper channel for consideration with the sport’s administration.”

So he is the conveyor of players' thoughts!

[That could take a while.]
