[@onyx081]

That Putintseva shoelace nonsense really pissed me off the most because it's such clear gamesmanship. I guess it's just a coincidence that her laces only break when she's losing. If she knows she has these types of issues with shoelaces then you would think that she would bring an extra pair of sneakers that are already laced.

[@TheChukso]

[@eddiarmenia96]

Bro i was like hows Albot still keeping his cool there after that decision.. the least I expected him to do was to argue with the umpire for 10min

[@BobCakez]

She can demand a player to continue play, and penalise and ultimately call for the supervisor to default them if they refuse and continue to argue. Unfortunately she didn't handle that situation well and allowed it to escalate before eventually issuing a code violation. But umpires at lower levels tend to be less experienced than those working the tours, and sometimes this is the result.

[@frfdrake]

@@ChefPirate7 Would be nice, to inform yourself before commentaiting. Thats a not a question of rule, thats a question of fact. Supervisor cant change the call, its a "in the moment" situation. Asking for the supervisor is just unnessesary.

[@EstebanToro]

@@patrikiosvatemanopoulos totally agree, I think what the umpire didn’t clarify was she didn’t have line of sight on the ball, so she has to go with the line judge’s call which was in. When she said, “it was my mistake”, I think she is empathizing with Albot as in, “sorry, I wasn’t able to see it so therefore it’s in”. I thought she was extremely fair in the way she handled it. Like you can’t argue a point for 10min and think it’s ok to ask for a supervisor for any situation, it’s unfair to your opponent, so I think the delay of game violation was justified.

Perhaps because if it’s fake, the ball has not left the hand of the player yet so it doesn’t count as throwing the ball completely.

[@golllaur]

@@nickbovonsupakitkul3372 yeah, but you can perform underarm serve without throwing the ball at all. I mean it's just releasing the ball milliseconds prior the contact so it's not a throw, right? then, if the throw is required as the part of the service motion and it must be before the swing then they should simply ban the underarm serve. imagine if I'm making normal serve but the ball is stuck in my hand and I still swing the racket - would it count as serve?))

[@nickbovonsupakitkul3372]

@@golllaur that won’t count as serve (or an attempt to serve). It will count as you practice the serve. Cuz you didn’t throw the ball out of your hand. That’s not illegal.
