Lock Brothers', Saftwat's and El Sallaly's Intense Encounter in Kigali

[@AeiKei]

0:50 you cannot call "out" while playing, you can say "leave it"

[@josep9599]

Yeah you can if it’s on your side it’s not a hindrance

[@AeiKei]

@josep9599 you cannot make a call a line or chair umpire is supposed to especially during a point

[@josep9599]

Really? Why do doubles players always say “out out out” when a ball goes over their head? Shouldn’t it be called hindrance in this instance?

[@AeiKei]

​@@josep9599well I never saw that on a professional doubles match. Like I said, players cannot make "out" calls during play without stopping the point, they can however say "me", "you", "leave it"

[@AeiKei]

@@josep9599 never seen that on pro doubles matches. But the rules says you cannot call "out" loud without the point being stopped, as it's a call that can only be made by line/chair umpires during play

[@stoyanplugarov8329]

the serve were more hindrance than the “out” call 😅

[@Sir3gar]

totally agree 😂

[@AeiKei]

6:20 totally right, it's silly how players don't know they need to play until an official call comes or the opponents say out and stop indicating a mark

[@Christiancsilva13]

Guys having a fearsome discussion here in the comments: Can you see the "Out out" call really fell into a really gray area of the rules? I mean, doubles can communicate, but screaming "OUT" during a point really makes your opponent stop or, at least, hesitate, so I agree it should be a hindrance as well. Tough call, I wouldn't call it (after I watched in slow mo) but I wouldn't say the referee is bad nor say this was a mistake, it was boderline...

[@LuísJoel-s7k]

The umpire is right, that's not a sunday match at the club.

[@snookerstones]

Umpire does nothing wrong

[@cruzthayne9884]

Obviously, you don’t watch tennis or know the rules

[@AeiKei]

​@@cruzthayne9884and you do?🤣 As a player you cannot call "out" during play without the point being stopped...that's a call only line/chair umpires can do...

[@AeiKei]

@@cruzthayne9884 you don't either...you can't make an "out" call without the point being stopped as it's a call only line/chair umpires can do during play

[@vtscll4]

​@@AeiKei You're the one who never played tennis.

[@user-gu1un7pb7k]

​@@AeiKeiduring doubles you can communicate with your opponent if the ball is on your side of the net

[@cruzthayne9884]

Is scary that this ref is in charge of pro matches

[@jt10s]

First call was a mistake on the umpire's part. Totally legit to call a ball out while the point is in play. Second call (no call) was correct unless the player held up his hand out of frame...

[@freakytea2815]

The first call was the foot fault, but yes, totally agree that the only mistake from the umpire in this clip was the hindrance call. He was correct with the other two. I'm not sure this match warranted an upload of its own.

[@jt10s]

@@freakytea2815 I'm also tired of the "umpires don't get penalized for their mistakes" trope. Mistakes happen but players often 1) are wrong; 2) blow it way out of proportion; 3) view the mistake as a turning point when it's 1 out of 150 points... That said, it would be user-friendly for the tournaments to acknowledge certain mistakes for the sake of clarity.

[@ilconteorlok9299]

Why is it a mistake? If you call it out is a hindrance for your opponents. It will affect my way to approach the ball.

[@jt10s]

@@ilconteorlok9299 Because in pro doubles, you're always yelling something to your partner: Yours! Mine! Out! Bounce it! It's an accepted part of the game and as long as it's not intentionally trying to distract the other team, it's a normal part of the game.

[@ilconteorlok9299]

@ yes, i see it. Thanks

The obsession with DEI lowers standards and quality.

[@Croviel]

this match was played in Kigali, Rwanda a country in Africa

[@C_M_R]

You are obsessed with DEI. You must have gotten fired from your job for being a bad employee and you now blame DEI .

[@shishkabab422]

@@C_M_Rhe’s right though

[@freakytea2815]

The only thing one can infer from your comment is that a white umpire would have been better, because white umpires are simply always better. At least have the courage to speak frankly and stand by your overt racism, instead of using "wink wink" words like DEI.

[@thebigsquirrel50]

Would've never thought an African country would be accused of DEI, but look no further. Seems you need to worry about your own education first, THEN worry about it.
