Getting outplayed, so pretends he needs the trainer!

Okay.

Was he playing in just his socks until then?

Was the other bloke genuinely injured when he was getting outplayed?

After this years Aussie Open Final, when Andy after being 2-0 up in the 3rd set imploded after Djokovik got the trainer on (winning only 1 of the last 13 games), maybe Seppi decided to fake an injury and get the trainer on to see would the same thing happen, amazingly it did, but it was still disappointing seeing Andy resorting to the same tactic (even if it did work for him!) I thought he was better than that.
The BBC are still playing along though "Andy's shoulder injury doesn't seem to be bothering him".

Steven, I'd be very interested to hear your opinions on 9/11, the moon landings and the Illuminati.

Well, here are the known facts:

• Both players, at different stages in the match, called a medical timeout and summoned the trainer, as they're entitled to do if they sustain an injury or aggravate an existing one.
• On each occasion, after being seen to by the trainer, the player suddenly started playing better.

To me, the most likely explanation that fits the facts is that both players genuinely had some kind of pain or injury which was eased by the trainer. What's the problem?

Unless you're suggesting that the trainer injected them with some kind of secret tennis-enhancing drug.
