[@bangkok88866h]

I know this is a slam but Medvedev vs Nadal in the 2019 US Open final in the 5th set at 2-2 in one of the deuce points was very notable. Medvedev starting serving with almost 2 to 3 seconds left in the shot clock and Nadal put his hand up signaling he was not ready. Medvedev served an ace. Seems like Nadal took away that ace from Medvedev. Did not like that move from Nadal and lost respect for Nadal. Seems like Medvedev got hard done there.

[@VladK181]

The same against Shapo in this AO 22 tournament during the entire match. You are not ready - lose the point. Shapo was right: they all are corrupted

[@crookedsmile326]

he had multiple points like that in that match, I remember at least two aces being stolen from Med (maybe even three, but not sure). It's weird how the points were replayed cause if you're not ready it's your problem, it's literally in the rules that the server sets the reasonable pace and you have to be ready. Even if you're Nadal who likes doing that

[@blucat4]

@@crookedsmile326 Exactly. Nadal did that every point against Zverev in the French Open Semi, made Zverev wait 30 seconds. It's against the rules and he should have been called. I'm like these people saying they lost respect for Nadal - I lost respect for him the very first time I saw him play. Most hated player for me.

[@juliendablanc469]

[@MisterReZ]

Not. Bernardes overruled the call, so the official call was out (regardless of nadal asking for the challenge).

[@pikachude5490]

Nadal is far in the wrong against berdych, he also signalled to challenge in which he would have lost the point

Then the chair umpire called the ball out, so the call was out. Berdych then challenged the out call and Hawkeye showed the ball was in. So because Nadal stopped the point first, he lost it and there was no replay. Nadal was absolutely wrong in disputing the outcome

Nothing controversial about the two Djokovic ones in Shanghai. First one, he was on the ball, chose not to hit it well before the out call came. The second one, again he chose not to hit and even used his arm to gesture that he wanted to challenge at the same time that the late out call came. Umpire did a great job!

[@MistahhMingus]

😂 don’t use logic they don’t like that

[@thomasrebotier1741]

Same problem at every level ; people who dedicate themselves to umpiring mean well but barring very few exceptions they are not able to see the balls as well as the players because they themselves never played that fast. Errors are bound to happen over and over until we have fully automatic rulings.

[@MisterReZ]

The problem is that humans cannot be 100% focused for long periods of time, so it is highly likely to make mistakes like this. Besides, like players make a lot of unforced errors per match, linesmen and umpires are also susceptible to "unforced errors".

[@virat5828]

Should include the one in Paris Djokovic vs Rune where challenge was allowed after rune hit the next ball out. Similar thing happened in davis cup vs Sinner too, it's funny how the rules are always bent against Novak.

Yes, Ali Nili was 100% correct in the decision. It's the same reason Rafa wasn't given the point in the beginning vs Berdych. He stopped play and thereby forfeited the point should it have been in (which it was), regardless of the umpire calling it out after or the fact he returned the point

@@MisterReZ no, it's the same essentially. Nadal may have returned the ball but he raised his hand to challenge before the ball was dead (aka stopped play), thus forfeiting the point. Controversial? Yes, but umpire made the right call both times

I also think that over the years, the top players received more leniency compared to lower ranked players on tour in terms of close calls going their way.

[@giacomoevangelisti3658]

Djokovic was wrong twice against Tsonga. He was twice on the ball and twice he didn't hit it hoping it would be out, which wasn't the case, but still pretended he had waited for the line judges to call it out, before deciding to leave it. That is so evident you almost don't need to replay the video

Novak's calls were crazy, and the referee was bad intended. He didn't hit the ball twice because the line referees called the balls out. The balls didn't pass him. Compared to other sports, referees have time to fix their mistakes but they don't do it anyway. The integration of technology is vital in tennis.

[@lobservatoire_du_bon_sens-gout]

it seems to me that the call clearly came after he chose not to hit the ball on both occasions

[@dogusbakc5782]

The problem is that balls were called out. If any decision was not given, Novak would challenge the calls and he could lose the points. But in both situations, he had time to touch/hit with his racket although I agree that he is biased a bit when he approached the balls and acted as if the balls would be called out but again, he had time to hit the balls. I think in these calls, it is important to consider the player's position and whether he/she has advantages and disadvantages to hit the ball.@@lobservatoire_du_bon_sens-gout

[@viccelito]

You must be blind or deaf. He purposely let the balls go and they had both passed him before the line judges calls came. 10/10 chair umpiring, you play until the ball is dead, Novak decided to stop playing before the ball was dead

[@lespaul5734]

Novak's frustrations is understandable, but it seems clear to me the referee was right. Novak was on the ball both times, but decided not to play them thinking they were out, and both calls came after he could/should have struck the ball.

Stop the victim narrative around Novak, its really tiring. They put him in thumbnails because he is one of the most recognizabke players, it draws in views. Simple as that. Novak is shown many times in sportmanship videos as well, rightfully so. Its true Roger is often on the thumbnail for sportmanship videos, but it makes sense considering he's probably the most famous tennis athlete and also the most sportmanlike player by vote for numerous years.
