After the match he [Medvedev] talked to reporters about the incident: "First of all, that's a good thing. It was fun," he said. "If it would be a breakpoint it would be less fun, I'm telling you." Medvedev says he looked up the word hindrance on Google Translate just to get a better understanding of the situation. "For me, the thing is that either they should change the name of the rule, because "hindrance," I looked at it on Google Translate, because I was not sure what it means. I thought it meant disturbance, like to disturb somebody. I was right. You can ask Bublik if I disturbed him by saying "Sorry." He will say no. I had the smash, which I would never miss in my life. I actually put it away. "Even if he jumped like, he couldn't get the ball. So again, there was no hindrance. There was no disturbance. Yeah, it's about the rules. Same about the rule where if the rain stopped the match for one hour or 45 minutes, why do I still have no toilet breaks left? It's a new match. I mean, there are some rules that should maybe considered to, I don't know, to be more precise or whatever. Because again, there was no hindrance. So, yeah, that's all I have to say."

@@marceltorretta They deserve every single one

[@arveecee]

@@mitchellsewell275 You're the only person close to getting this right. The rule regards the player making the NEXT play on the ball being put off by actions/words etc made by the opponent. Medvedev himself was making the NEXT play AFTER the words/hindrance - Bublik had already deflected the ball before he spoke. This was the point Medvedev was making but gets ignored. Bublik can't be hindered because he's already played the ball and it's possibly crossed the net at that point - and/or if he was hit the ball is dead. Taking that as the sequence of events (and one doesn't have to!) the hindrance called is flawed and a replay should've been the sensible move.

[@exfolios]

"The definition of the intentions varies, hence the different outcomes for the exact same scenario. Deliberate Hindrance refers to the act of doing something with the purpose of disrupting your opponent as they are hitting the ball." #1 It has to be deliberate disruption. #2 the key words are "AS THEY ARE HITTING THE BALL" Bublik already hit the ball back when the apology was said. #3 If it is deliberate, players loses point, if it was accidental hindrance, point is replayed. My take: No deliberate motive to disrupt, no call. Besides, the ball hit Bublik anyway, point was already over by the time apology was said.

[@obliviouz]

Medvedev was completely correct. HE was hitting the ball, so he couldn't have been disturbing Bublik. There was no hindrance.

[@pacotillek]

OK, so according to you a player can talk just after the opponent hit the ball, and continues to talk until the opponent is going to hit, accordingly to the rule you emphasis: "AS THEY ARE HITTING THE BALL" I don't know from where your rule is coming out, for myself I learned to do not talk as long as the ball is in play. So Medvedev talked during the point, then he loses the point, that's it. Why a so drastic rule? Because it simplifies the case.

Another clip for the ITF Officials Training guide.

[@carloscousillas1895]

The two players laughed at how ridiculous the chair umpire's call was. Obviously, she could have rectified, but his pride and arrogance prevented it. It is not the first time that this chair umpire has done any of these. ATP has to do something about it.

For sure

[@DvdStennis]

Can we get her to do this at a Sonego match. Ideally every point.

[@Paarthurnax_]

these 2 guys are walking memes . love them

[@kainau1]

Med you crack me up 😂😂😂 one funny guy

[@tsugumi_seishirou]

I bet Medvedev is watching this right now lol

[@gossipboynyc2434]

Of course

[@brentchen4775]

Medvedev pegs Novak in finals of the coming us open on a break point.... then remembers what happened in the citi open against Bublik.

[@brentchen4775]

It's gonna happen mark my words

[@hamzuhmohammed6254]

Then he went on to win the whole tournament. That's the best revenge. 👌

[@scrabbleking1965]

ALL these comments on here and I can't find one that actually covers the hinderance rule. In doubles you CAN talk while the ball is moving toward you. My question is in doubles would this still have been called a hinderance, as he said sorry while the ball was moving towards him????

Dang this is the same umpire that Kyrgios freaked out at yesterday 😂 she can’t catch a break- although this time it’s definitely her own fault if you ask me

[@hijlkecornelisboorsma1058]

well i dont tink you are allowed to talk in the middle off the rally. the moment she said hinderence you could hear here laugh as well

[@dennisvillaflor3359]

@@hijlkecornelisboorsma1058 lol its done in doubles a lot. Unless you make a call or make a noise before the opponent hits the ball, then thats hindrance.

[@obliviouz]

@@hijlkecornelisboorsma1058 You can talk before the ball is dead - you just cannot talk (or make sound) to disturb the other player hitting the ball. But here, Bublik had already hit the ball. There is no hindrance.

[@oscarmillavega]

They should penalize umpires for stupidity, involuntarily or on purpose. For the good of the game.

First time something is more enjoyable watching on tennis TV rather thn live.

Omg Medvedev predicted the future that's just awesome

[@julianbobasso4142]

I know the call from the umpire was not right, i mean that "sorry" wasn't hindrance at all but it think the reaction from medvedev and bublik was a bit too much. Pretty funny moment tho

[@julianbobasso4142]

@@robinsoncruise2228 i thought it wasn´t hindrace bc he didn´t seem malicious saying sorry and bublik didn´t seem distracted, but i could be wrong!

[@jmw__]

Julian Bobasso yeah and plus I don’t even think bublik heard med say sorry cause he was asking if the call was on him and not med. So I mean, yeah, by the rules it was hinderance but in reality I don’t think it was an ACTUAL hinderance. Still pretty funny though lol

[@funnyduck4568]

@@robinsoncruise2228 the rules state a hindrance is something that hinders the opponent. Theres no rule against talking if it doesn't hinder them.
