it's a clear money grab, the appearance money means a lot to both those players.
they should offer 50% prize money to a player with an injury who was due to play, which would then allow someone else to come in and actually compete (who would get the other 50%)
the first guy who played djok actually hobbled onto centre court before even hitting a ball!!!

Pretty much.
They'll still play.
If you start saying, if you go in with an injury then they'll likely just fake an injury/deliberately slip or what have you in order to make it look like they have had an injury during the play in order to get the full amount.
