Dominika Cheatbulkova - zero class, zero sportsmanship, a player not worth any respect at all in that particular situation. How she dares saying it should be 0-40 when she saw the ball going in?

[@alejandromottalopez6153]

totally agree. And how that match ended?

[@ToomcioZioomcio]

@@alejandromottalopez6153 Hsieh lost 4-6 1-6. EDIT: In the very next Slam (US Open) she actually lost 6-7 6-4 4-6 against Cheatbulkova. I claimed she won because I looked up at stevegtennis which has bugs :/

[@lukaswiesinger8689]

i'm not saying that cibulkova is the fairest player ever, but in her defence, i can imagine she didn't remember that hsieh hit the ball inside the court. all she thinks about at that moment is her own return and the challenge. i think it's possible she had no idea where hsieh hit that shot

[@ohmygoodlord]

@@lukaswiesinger8689 She can not interfere and if umpire asks her, she can tell that she remembers as net but not sure. I hv seen more or less same sight from Juli Georges against Hercog. Even Hercog was fully right, Georges interfered and asked Hercog to move on with referee's decision.

For the first one, why doesn't the umpire or supervisor just ask 2 or 3 of the lines people or ball people if they saw her return go inside. It's so simple.

[@brianvogt8125]

@@BWcapture - Yes, informally ask line judges to help with their observations (because they are accredited & trusted officials), but ultimate responsibility for deciding matters of fact (about what happened) goes to the chair umpire. This umpire is incompetent, but her call must stand. Ball kids are technically spectators. Spectators are prohibited from interfering with umpiring decisions. Referee can judge on matters of law but not override the umpire on matters of fact. This whole incident goes against the Rules of Tennis.

Or at least stay out of it. What garbage sportsmanship. Why can’t the ump just ask for a video replay? This is what makes them so useless. The sport doesn’t need these people anymore, yet they still have jobs just like in baseball.

[@MH3GL]

It is not Cibulkova's responsibility to speak for her opponent or do the Chair Umpire's job for her. Cibulkova's objective is to win. Would it have been "nice" if she "set it straight?" Of course. But this is not on Cibulkova. This is an embarrassing display by the chair umpire, and she deserves 100% of the responsibility for the situation she put herself and the players in.

[@kh2freek]

@@MH3GL Cibulkova isn’t obligated to do the morally right thing, and she was also not obligated to do the morally wrong thing of lying about the play to sway the umpire’s decision. Don’t conflate the umpire’s actions with Cibulkova’s, because the umpire is just trying to do her job, however poorly she might be doing it.

[@MH3GL]

@@kh2freek if the chair umpire had done her job, and made the correct call, none of this would have been an issue. To insinuate that the chair umpire could be "swayed" by Cibulkova's response is to call into to question the integrity of the umpire, because the umpire is supposed to be IMPARTIAL, and should not be making her decisions based on the opinion of the players, but on the happenings occurring on the court. So, are you telling me that you wish to call the umpire's integrity into question?

[@pcmaclean]

Why doesn’t Wimbledon (and all the Opens for that matter) , simply have an instant replay when there is a dispute between the linesman and the umpire?

[@milliehayes]

Isn't that Hawkeye?

[@kh2freek]

@@milliehayes Hawkeye only shows where the ball bounced. Tennis does not yet allow instant replay for sequence-of-event plays like this where the umpire needs a video to understand what happened. They have trialed something like that at the ATP Cup so I would guess it’s coming soon.

[@vishaljain8351]

cause they need to be smarter

[@andrewwatson2907]

@@kh2freek I’m afraid that’s false. Hawkeye does not actually show where the ball bounced. It is a model that estimates where it bounced within a margin of error (this is not the same thing). It is probably more reliable than line judges eyes but not necessarily ’right’ all the time. I wish the commentators would admit that it is not a factual replay but a good estimate that’s better than not having it. High def SLO mo replays would show that some Hawkeye calls are actually wrong, so when it’s showing incredibly fine margins as ‘facts’ it is misleading. A fuzzy grey line / margin of error would be better, but doesn’t give the binary answer that tennis wants.

If I remember correctly, she spoke up in her match against Sabalenka in Birmingham 2019, against Tomljanovic in Seoul 2019 and quite a few matches in Hiroshima 2019. She and the Taiwanese tennis federation don't get along too well because of her 'outspokeness'. That's why I love her, she beats to her own drum and plays own style of tennis, has no sponsors because she doesn't want to be controlled.

This is the hazard of standing too close to the net in doubles. Ive been criticized for the opposite ie standing too close to the service line (end of the service box) in doubles BUT it gives me half to one full second MORE time to react and hit a confident or well placed return instead of getting jammed up trying to defend myself against slammers. My husband and i won the spring mxd doubles event (all age group) recently in a good sized club and no one critiqued me after that; which consisted of 8 matches.

[@mangeshmore3711]

Her first feeling matters the most...😅😂😂😂

[@heyo1312]

You need to make one of these for the whole decade... I love this series!

[@budirachman4414]

Now I'm glad, never see Cibulkova again on court.

[@tjg801]

I would like to see a interview with these umpires where they revisit all these calls and give their commentary.

[@importedmusic]

I'm kind of new to tennis but watching some of these bad decisions by the umpires is bewildering, I mean how hard can it be to umpire a tennis match. Also, don't they have some kind of VR system to replay the video back if they need to?

[@mikekim5135]

Wow. Cibulkova shows everybody that she has no class even after being told that Hsieh's ball landed back in the court and that no point had been won. This is right up there with Raonic touching the net against Del Potro and keeping his mouth shut in order to hold on to point that he had clearly lost.

[@E_y_a_l]

Everyone here are so happy to hate Cibulkova and claim she cheated or lied, but When looking at the replay you can see that when the ball pass over the net and hit the court(6:18) Cibulkova is raising her hand for a challenge and looking directly at the umpire and not the at the ball, look at 0:06, even when the ball rolls on the ground she doesn't look at it but on the umpire and then she looks forward at Hsieh, she didn't looked at the ball even for a split second the entire time, she could have really didn't see if it was net or inside the court because her attention was to the umpire, when asked she didn't said she saw it was net, watch at 5:54, she says the umpire or the lines judge said that it was net. Cibulkova's only claim was that the umpire made a call, and after she made the call she can't change it just because the player argues, the umpire didn't said she was wrong on her call, she said she doesn't remember what happened and then she said she didn't saw where the ball landed, so Cibulkova said that on that basis the umpire can't just change her first call, she didn't cheat, she didn't lied, all of the insults and names people are calling her here are not justified, it may not nice to hear but she's right, if the umpire didn't know for certain that her call was wrong she needed to stick with her first call.

[@alexisgaulard3497]

Cibulkova -8000 on fair play's level. Thank you to show us the truth about some players

[@johnnytang1]

Hsieh is right , if the chair umpire couldnt remember it, it is Her Freaking problem ! Hsieh did not lose the point , she put the ball back to the other side, how could she possibly lose the point, what a Joke, what an Umpire !

[@achyuthsingari7322]

If you forgot wether the ball was in or not...how can you award any player the point.

[@chanelprince7035]

No wonder cibulkova earlier retired from tennis.. i am happy to hear that

[@trs4437]

The irony is Cibulkova looked like she challenged because she couldn’t reach the return. And then she lied and said the return went into the net; and then she was incapable of fair play and ending the dispute by telling the truth. Then in the interview she says: “I’m a fair player.”

[@Sweet_Spot_Breaks]

I now have a least favorite tennis player.

[@KingCast65]

"She has absolutely zero case......" Yup. Ridiculous.

[@gallopingnuns6732]

Cibulkova based her argument on a fiction. What she claims she saw - that the ball went into the net - didn't happen. Her suggestion that the original call should stand, despite evidence showing that the call was wrong, is unbelievable. Her later comment, where she stated that she wouldn't have been upset if the roles had been reversed, is obviously not true.

[@mikewilliams6086]

When the hell is tennis going to get with the times! Replay is used in so many sports now

[@inderlanders6887]

Wow, really sad to see how poor Cibulkova was in her conduct. She presented her case when she had none. Awful.

[@deancoffey2228]

Tennis needs a VAR system for these Hsieh/Cibulkova situations! Especially when umpires don't have full recall on the situation. Credit to the ump for her admitting her mistake tho. But definitely replay footage should be allowed to review any judgmental call decisions.

[@JonParrYucatan]

11:00 Is this for real?! It seems like it is like those videos where that one guy is the goalie for soccer and gets hit all the time and in volleyball too LOL

[@kav1187]

Hahaha yeah I thought the same. I was literally In tears from laughing so hard because I knew it was for real 🤣

[@Cheeky_Mouse]

Scott Sterling at it again!

[@lan8854]

Have you ever been hit by a tennis ball that close? It fucking hurts! The ball is small too so the hit is concentrated. He got hit right in the forehead!

[@djm4854]

Imagine an umpire firm in her decision, while also saying, "I don't remember what happened."

[@santoshpawarrecords4781]

Even in that position refree is unable to take a right decision 🎾

[@maychoy7555]

Thank you Tennis Advocate for putting subtitles (I guess I don't know what to call it) in this video because usually in videos like this there are none

[@madezio2]

This is the first time i see a player calling the "referee" and being useful to the case. Question: How in the world you consider that clip below the standards of being in the main series, but a player getting a warning for breaking a racket is worth it?

[@sangsang-yz6wv]

Umpire was daydreaming..

[@vincentbright3488]

She's a fair player but didn't see the ball fall in her court.

[@milkod2001]

What a joke at the begging when ladies had no clue what to do next. They could have just replied the point but it took 30minutes figuring out what happened 😆

[@lenguainglesa2580]

totally right love this lady hiseh

[@dennismullen9700]

There are six lines people on that court and not one of them goes and talks to the chair>

[@senormojo]

The clip of Mahut in the men's double who gets hit repeatedly made me shout "SCOTT STERLING!" on the third hit.

[@heroofcomments8956]

9:38, she said the point was given to other player, but actually the umpire asked to replay the point, that point was not given to either player. Here is where Cibulkova was wrong!!!

[@gwendolyn0515]

First umpire is so useless, how does she not remember a shot that was played 5 seconds ago? Do your job right.

[@Jacksracingprojects2]

13:35 SCOTT STERLING!!!!

[@mandrillion2524]

Every comment here is about cibulkova... Am I the only one laughing so hard for Mahut Odissey as a human target? Ahahaha

[@evergreatest5869]

Man’s really thought that he was playing football ⚽️

[@francisgodin2987]

Is it just me or that first referee is on a bad call spree?

[@alirizaa6639]

Yeah, I've noted her doing silly mistakes very often..

[@lm-ws8us]

Cibulková: I am fair player. Me: hahahaha

[@Walkman0007]

wow this is the first time I see them call the referee and they accually overturn a call......

[@jimmykouba4494]

I don't want to talk about it yet they talk about it. 🤣🤣. Guess they don't hear themselves 😂.

[@TAK-7-8-6]

There's no eye, I mean "i", in "team"

[@rahulsrivastava1988]

I think one has to be selfish when it's a 50-50 or a 40-60 call but damn! Cibulkova was being a complete asshole there. And then to say that she is a fair player! That's simply delusional

[@allthekingshorses7178]

Cibulkova is beautiful with a damn sexy body...Hsieh however, ugly as sin 🤢🤢🤢

[@nickbaritone]

Cibulkova has cheated on several occasions. There’s being a competitor, which is not the same as being a cheater.

[@andysmith4158]

This just shows why tennis needs a TV action replay service like cricket's Decision Review Service so that cheats like Cibulkova can be exposed and fined.
