can claim a walkover

Hi Adam,

In tennis, as in most sports, "walkover" is the term used to refer to a game won when your opponent fails to turn up (amongst other reasons). See:

A walkover is the awarding of a victory to a contestant because there are no other contestants, or because the other contestants have been disqualified or have forfeited. The term can apply in sport, but can also apply to elections.

Hi Kironne. Very kind of you to come back to the question. It's true, walkover is the precise term, but I also think David's suggestion is equally clear. :O) :O)
