Tennis Clay Court Drama 2023 | Part 02 | Should I Spear Tackle the Line Umpire?

[@Gi_0h]

Genuinely some of the worst umpiring I've ever seen on the Borges - Mayot match. Dude was allowed to complain about something that affected him and Borges equally, refuses to play and got to call the supervisor on set point, but when Borges does the same the next game he's treated far more harshly. And to top it all off, Mayot saw no problem with his behavior. You have to feel for Borges, terrible job from the umpire.

[@joaoalbuquerque8918]

100% agreed.

[@camsmith7811]

Yeah, that was insane. I don't think I'll ever respect Mayot.

[@razorback9926]

Ump was right to call a let when stray ball came onto court. But wimped out when dooshbag sat down. He should have given him a code violation for delay of game.

[@elavestruzfalopero8202]

And to add insult to injury, he speaks in French with Mayot when they could perfectly speak English so Borges could understand too.

[@LingLiu2014]

And may I add never have practice matches next to live matches being played. The organsation was ridiculous as Mayot quite rightly pointed out.

[@fabianstoehr5909]

[@PickleTechProductions]

The fact that he is Japanese and abusing a Japanese made racket is extra disrespectful from him. Kids in japan are taught to respect things made by other people because of the time and effort put into crafting them. Yonex rackets have the best quality control because they are made in Japan vs other brands that pump theirs out of the same factories in China. I had 2 prostaff 97s ordered at the same time that played completely different from one another because one was 6 grams heavier while the other racket was more head light. I ordered 2 Yonex Ezone Tour 98 and both are within 1 gram of weight, only way to tell them apart is where I chip the paint. Shame on Nishioka, Shame Shame Shame GOT nun style.

[@ThaPuzzle8888]

The Tiafoe weather forecast dilemma is the perfect example of when players deal with the umpire it’s like when an engineer deals with a notary Both work on the same project but at times don’t understand each other because they don’t speak the same language, don’t have the same logic and the same priorities/interests

Standard of umpiring has been atrocious in the clay season. How about some sort of tv umpire who can intervene? These things are so obvious on TV. I’ve watched a ton of the clay season and the umpires haven’t once adjusted their decision, even when new info emerges that changes the situation (like Kokkinakis) - it’s like they’re too keen on their own egos to do their job properly

There is one moment which I still don't understand... If clay courts claim that they don't use Hawk Eye for challenging moments(which are judged by chair empire), then why they show us Hawk Eye ball hitting scenes? I just don't get it at all.

[@konepe1653]

Yeah, it's just so bizarre that these days TV viewers get all of this information, yet players and umpires don't even get to use hawk-eye. This honestly makes the sport look pretty dumb and silly

[@Tiziown]

Because the one showed in tv doesn't need to be precise, while the ones on court have just a few millimiters of error margin and need to be fixed and calibrated often, so getting a decently accurate one is easy, getting one as accurate as rules states isn't.

Tennis is fun as an entertainment, wachting on tv, but from the inside and specially in the lower tournaments, it seems to be a very selfish environment, full of cheaters, where players do whatever it takes to win a match, even a point. The so famous values that supposedly the "white sport" has, are nowehere to be seen. It is a jungle, covered with money and luxury (if you reach an elite level, and very few do), but a sad jungle in the end must be living this from the inside, 24/7. There is a reason why so many former pro players dont want their kids to be tennis players.

[@klinsmancho2626]

Borges and kokkinakis so hard done by- too much double standards on the atp tour and tennis in general. Guarantee you if kokkinakis when hitting that shot knocked the guy out by accident - he would have got disqualified but he’s not allowed to move the barrier nor react when he bumps into it or else it’s hindrance -RIDICULOUS. If I was borges I’d be putting in complaint to the atp board or have retired after that set - ridiciulous that guy mayot was allowed to pause at break point to relax himself

[@purplecoffinman8510]

Kokkinakis wasn't, that situation is entirely his own fault for standing so far back in the court, and him moving the barrier to suit *his* court position isn't fair.

Kokkinakis is in the wrong. He may have a point but you don't go and move parts of the field because it doesn't suit his needs. He should've brought it up if he had a problem with it and if it wasn't dealt with then he should make a complaint to the supervisor or director.

Doesn’t use Hawkeye on court but broadcasts it on tv? Why not just finally implement it during play so we can reduce the amount of arguments and just get on with the game.

[@gabrielametodieva8360]

They use it but with a disclaimer. Hawkeye uses a prediction to estimate where the ball will land which on clay is a bit tricky as it’s a live surface. The ATP said they’ll implement live line calling by 2025 though. Hopefully it won’t create even more arguments because on clay you can see the mark and if the live calling shows it incorrectly it’ll be hard to trust it

Of course nishioka is in here 😂

[@MarcoSpeaksNadsat]

It's ridiculous that they are still messing about with marks on the court for clay. Just use Hawkeye like all the other tournaments.

Hawkeye is not reliable on clay because it’s a live surface and it needs to be recalibrated all the time. Foxtenn is better. However, the ATP said they will implement live line calling from 2025 onwards so you’d hope the technology will be good enough by then

But I don’t understand his argument. It’s not like the line umpire is standing in the middle of the court, he’s standing right at barrier of the court. The court has certain dimensions, he needs to adhere to them. He can also not run into the barrier and ask for a replay of the point because the barrier was in his way, there are dimensions of the court and he needs to stick to them.

I've always said this, but considering the pivotal responsibility that umpires have they get away with being absolute idiots so many times. It's always an excuse of "we'll talk after the match" but nothing good has ever come from that. They also need to be fined and face some infraction. Players can't be the only ones bearing all of the responsibility.
