The umpire gave Rublev a warning without knowing Russian is hilarious, lmao

tbf it sounded like he said blyat

Andrey fooled him because he said bad word BLYAT in russian. that has no in common with more harder and much stronger. (more stronger is like "SILNEE" more harder "MOSCHNEE"

[@Ianadelrey_]

[@headshotgamers100]

Am I dumb or was the Umpire right in both situations? I mean if the ball was out on the serve maybe he could’ve overruled. But his point that they had to challenge immediately was true no?

[@TheMitchie21]

Well the first ruling was wrong. Even if the ball was going out the ball kid needs to let it bounce. Because he didn't the point should have been replayed. It's very silly but so are the rules for this. You can't just change your mind because it's silly and the ball was going out anyway. Uphold the rules or not and in this case the umpire and the supervisor failed their jobs. Should he have contested this? Hell no but he did have a point

[@DanielFolsom]

Damn a lot of ball boy conflict. I know they fucked up a few times here, but honestly I wish the players would be a bit more forgiving. Like okay, your serve was interrupted. That happens. If an audience member interrupts a service motion, do the players ever scream that they want the whole crowd to leave? I thought Blanch's reaction was way too much. The worst mistake was the kid catching the ball going out before it bounced, and I get that Tsitsipas was more upset over a previous time when it happened to him, but I also agree that ball was 100% out and the right call was made. (On the other hand, I thought Tsistsipas had no argument on the late challenge. But hopefully, someday, all line calls will be automatic-like instant hawk eye, which we could really do now-and "late challenge" won't be an issue anymore.)

[@ehrenamtlicherehrenmann4152]

I totally agree with the first one but S. Tsitsipas also stated that the ball was clearly out. He just wanted to hear the rules again.

[@DanielFolsom]

​@@ehrenamtlicherehrenmann4152 We agree on that!

[@sophier1552]

I used to be a ballkid for smaller tournaments where some good wellknown players would sometime play. From what I remember we had a terrible preparation and no one was trained well (I guess they just assumed we would figure it out ourselves at the age of 13 I guess). This resulted in the players becoming upset and honestly it is the most upsetting thing for a kid to see one of your heroes get upset and yell at you for not doing a job you weren’t even prepared for.

[@iohsdfidsassdfsdfsdfasfsdf5587]

@@sophier1552 That's an interesting insight. I can imagine a lot of smaller tournaments having less resources to train the ball kids. Its terrible though cause its the organiser's fault but the kids on the ground get the blame. I'm curious which players you came across?

[@ryantraniam]

I don't agree that the call was correct. If the opponent hits the ball way out and the other team catches the ball before it lands, then the opponent wins the point even if the ball was going to be 100% out. In this case, the ballboy catches the ball before it lands out, so the correct call should be a replay if we're going to be consistent with the rules.

[@ConcreteObelisk]

5:52 Wow a very rare moment that there is a drama and Paire is not involved in it.

Why are the ball boys on the court? Me: 🤨 ummmm to get the balls?

[@Julie_V89]

As a Russian I can tell you with 100% of certainty that Rublev said “harder”. It is pronounced “seelnay”, the « a » is like in « meh ». However in « blyat » you can hear very clearly the « ya », like in « yacht ». So this umpire is an idiot.

13:00 thats why I HATE Stefanos. Ball is clearly flying out and still he wants to have a replay just because the ball boy caught it before. You cant deny his unreal performances on court but those lacks of sportsmanship are happening way too often.

[@abinabraham112]

But it was more about sticking rules back at the umpire

[@DanielFolsom]

I actually understand his point there-and I thought he was at least way better than Blanch. I don't think his point was that it was going in; I think his point was that, in a prior game, his opponent had hit a ball that was caught by a ball boy, and the point was replayed. So he was saying there needs to be consistency. That said, I thought he was definitely wrong on the line challenge: it sucks that "challenges" are still a thing when it's not clear why we don't just have computers doing all line calls ... but he absolutely had time to signal a challenge before the point was over-he could have even said "challenge"-and he didn't.

[@orianneatine5432]

I was a ballkid and they told us to never catch a ball flying even if it's obviously out. We always had to let it bounce before catching it so I understand his point

[@jennym2276]

True for the first one. But the serve looked like it could have been out and there was zero time to react, how was he to stop the point when it was over so fast.

[@DanielFolsom]

@@jennym2276 I don't think so on the serve. I think he or his partner could've called challenge: It seemed to me like they tried to react to the opponent's return, then looked at the line and called challenge.

[@ssrmy1782]

Yeah, Rublev said Сильнее which means stronger. It shouldn't sound like блядь but it kind does on the video. I can see why the umpire misheard, especially if he doesn't speak Russian very well but only knows a few terms like blyad'

[@datdudeash]

Love when the players argue in English lol

[@ktuluflux]

Ok but if a ball boy catches a ball before it bounces surely that’s a let and replay? What if some crazy gust of wind blew the ball in? That’s just really really bad umpiring. The umpire can’t theoretically say it’s out if the ball never had a chance to bounce out. Tsitipas is 100% right. It’s the principle of the thing.

[@banane9861]

You're wrong, the ball was clearly, no hinderance. It's just common sense.

Secondly, Tsitsipas returned the service and other guy smashed it so he didn't have anytime to contest. The umpire had to check the mark. Third you cannot give a player warning just because he told you to go back to futures, this is where you belong. He did not swear, he did not shout. Terrible umpiring!

[@theaviator1152]

Am I the only one who agrees with Tsitsipas here? Regardless of whether the ball was going out, the ballboy touched it while it was still in play. If a player touches an active ball in the air, no matter how far out it’s going, they lose the point. So if a ballboy touches an active ball in the air, even if it’s going out, the point should be replayed! It’s the same reason why a player needs to let balls go out and not touch them! The ball has to actually *land* out! Am I wrong about this??
