Sonego's ball was not in, but that was on of the worst calls I have seen, Shapo's ball was so far out. They always seem to get the wrong mark on clay.

[@pierce1234567891]

They have hawk eye why do they not use it?

[@grizi1508]

@@pierce1234567891 I guess the hawk eye is only for the audience to see whether the ball is out or not. You can have challenges and the umpire look at the ball mark as many as you want, there is no challenge limit on clay as far as I know. But I think it's stupid, if they want to keep line umpires they can, just put in the hawk eye system and challenge limit. Saves for much drama.

He is mentally strong. He is very inconsistent, but that's something else. He fucked himself completely up vs Sonego and lost second set, but still won the match.

The Sonego one is just brutally bad. first of all the out call is right, then the umpire overrules it and gives the point directly to Shapo instead of replaying the point (the call came late but clearly influenced Sonegos shot). Where Sonego is wrong, his last shot was out.

[@James.c]

Surely Shapovalov should've lost that game at 4-3 after the point penalty? He double faults at deuce, making it advantage, then steps over to check the mark, and gets the point penalty, meaning he loses the game

No because his second serve was in so it was replay the point

When the commentators and the spectators watching at home, thousands of miles away, can see Hawkeye replays showing the exact bounce, and yet the officials get it wrong because they have no access, and they check the WRONG mark, then WTAF is wrong with the tournament officiating??? This is a bloody disgrace to the efficacy of the game. When literally every person in the crowd has access to a smartphone with a camera in it, yet the umpire and referee are unable to use camera replays? A joke. An absolute joke. These "drama" videos are just full of mistakes from the officials. And we wonder why the players get upset? And then the players are the ones who collect penalties, when the root cause is the officials not being able to do their jobs right in the first instance. Also, why is it we can see on the reply the bounce, or double bounce, but the officials cannot access the same video? FAA was robbed. And some of that was due to the previous one, where Novak intimidated the referee, who made the following call Novak's way, when it was incorrect. Again, use technology, and these issues disappear.
