What does mean, when a player refuse to rematch ?
I played some rematches, sometimes I win the rematch, sometimes I loose. But I can’t always rematch or want to... things happen and I can’t play or maybe I am tired or I got work... so time to stop playing.

Dingtoo wrote "rematch or no rematch" that means either one - which does NOT require prescience.
Some of the players start the game on the wrong tactic, as the game goes on, they get in deeper difficulties and then they decide all of a sudden to resign, straight away after that, they ask you for a rematch, that is not fair, keep on playing until you lose or even win and then ask for a rematch if you consider you might have any chance. I have been offered 3 times a chance for a rematch although I lost the 3 of them but very tight, meaning the guy enjoyed the game he was playing against me.
rematch a person you win, they will have a 70% chance of beating you if they have a bigger rating and 40% chance of winning with a lower rating.
When you play in an OTB tournament, there are no rematches. WHY should anyone feel obligated to accept a rematch here. In a lot of cases, people have other things to do.
