On the Volynets one, if umpires are just going to say 'I have to go with the system' when there is a clear error, then there is no point in keeping umpires. Get rid of them. All they do then is call the score.

[@kylepiscitello8889]

Exactly. If you, as the chair umpire, felt the ball was out and there is a glitch in the system, at least replay the point. Or take a stance and call the ball like you see it. That was a blown call. He can and should have asked the supervisor how to proceed at the very least.

Oh they would still have very important tasks, like dishing out warnings for ball abuse and audible obscenities.

I love how the umpires spit out the ‘it’s a question of fact’ line when they are losing an argument 😂

[@JK-vc7ie]

I love how players cry like a little toddler and turn out to be totally wrong, like the double bounce earlier in the video.

[@Ryan-cf3xi]

That's not the point. A referee or supervisor (head ref) can only overrule a decision on a question of law (the rules). The chair umpire is in charge of all questions of fact (ball in or out, player returning the ball). Coco was trying to get around that by bsing with the rules, which was clever but kind of silly. While Bacci was clearly wrong here, there's nothing the supervisor can do and we would just be wasting everyone's time.

[@awsw90]

In this case though, he is right. I mean, his decision was wrong (twice, misjudgment of the ball, and misjudgment of the fact that his call was late) but he is right when saying it’s a question of fact, in the sense that Both of them actually agree on the rule, they only disagree on facts. So calling the supervisor is irrelevant, as almost always

[@goughmi5430]

4:00 I was there sitting courtside on Azarenka's side, my seat was on the same height as the court, from my angle it was obvious that Azarenka got it, they showed a replay on the arena screen that showed an angle that made it look like double bounce and it set Ostapenko off even more

[@murgatroidsp]

Both calls against Ostapenko were the correct

[@einarsd4]

​@@murgatroidspBoth calls were completely wrong. First was clear double bounce and second was call that hindered Ostapenko's shot. In second Ostapenko's clip call came bit before Ostapenko's shot and according to official tennis rules that's replay of the point. You clearly have zero clue how tennis rules works. Stop embarrassing yourself. Ostapenko was correct both times.

[@einarsd4]

​@@user-bj4ni3vx6rNope. Umpire was wrong both times. In first case ball wasn't up when Azarenka returned it back. It was clear as a day that it's double bounce and in second case Ostapenko missed after line umpire made a line call. Then Ostapenko challenged the call and umpire wrongly awarded the point to Gauff although in this case it should have been replay of the point, because according to official tennis rules it's replay of the point. You are blind and delusional. Stop embarrassing yourself with your bullshit.

[@einarsd4]

​@@user-bj4ni3vx6rWhat bs is that? Do you even watch tennis? Because by reading your bs comment, you don't watch tennis. In first case ball clearly wasn't up when Azarenka returned it back.

Also in second case Ostapenko missed her shots after line umpire called out and according to official tennis rules it's replay of the point. You embarrassed yourself.

[@user-og5rj1py5n]

[@juha1428]

while yes he was wrong I never understand why the players want a supervisor on the court. It achieves nothing, the call won't change.

[@lickos83]

@@juha1428 good point. But maybe it's just a mix of feeling helpless and not wanting to let the umpire get away with it. "If he's gonna ignore me and stick to his wrong decision, at least let everyone see it" kind of thing? Talking to the umpire must often feel like talking to a wall. And I'm sure in the heat of the moment, you are mad at the umpire but can still talk a little more politely to an outsider who didn't wrong you (the supervisor). Plus: this way, the umpire has to explain his point to a third person and summarize the whole situation once more. Come to think of it, I would also call the supervisor if I were her 😅

[@Christopher-ep5tk]

Yet again, cleary out but he has to follow the system and the supervisor cannot do anything about the obviously not working system. Well done

2:30 Ostapenko of course gets mad when she loses a point, but does that unsportsmanlike shoe squeak while Azarenka's trying to serve. PLUS, she was wrong Azarenka got the ball up in one bounce, not "three", like she claimed.

[@einarsd4]

You should be checked, because you don't have good eyesight. Azarenka got it in 2 bounces. It was obvious double bounce. Stop arguing with the reality. You only embarrass yourself.

[@einarsd4]

A lot of players "squeak" their shoes. There's nothing unsportsmanlike about it. And for your information ball touching the ground twice is double bounce. And the ball did touch the ground twice before Azarenka returned it back which means that umpire was blind and wrong and it was obvious double bounce and Ostapenko's point according to official tennis rules. You can deny it all you want, but it won't change anything. I am still correct and you are wrong.

@einarsd4 Watch the replay, it did not bounce twice. And yes, people's shoes squeak, but not INTENTIONALLY during their opponent's serve. Most shoes squeak because the player is changing position or moving around. Ostapenko stayed in the same place. She did that to throw off the serve.

[@marcelredplanet3765]

Coco was right. Had the supervisor just been called, the argument would have been ended much earlier. I also admire her politeness and careful choice of words while clearly being in a very emotional state of mind. 99% of the players would have used derogative words in that situation.

[@felypeborges9651]

Well, Pliskova's return was on the net when the umpire called out, so it was a shi**y call and a terrible decision to replay the point. But Coco was trying to force a question of rule, when it was a question of fact. Nevertheless, her frustation is totally understandable, the umpire messed up really bad.

[@user-og5rj1py5n]

He denied her right to see a supervisor. That’s wrong. He was in no position to do that!

[@jaypostma3633]

That chair umpire for Coco's match is actually braindead. How the hell can the call come at the same time as the return when you're making a correction? In order to make a correction you have to wait and see if the linesman is going to make the call first, and in that time the player has already returned the ball. Absolutely ridiculous.

Two perfect decisions against Ostapenko. And funny enough, even mentioning the overrule decision of the final in Linz. After reviewing it, she still does not accept that the overrule was correctly made after a late call from the line-umpire. The most hilarious remarks is her saying: „You will never work on any of my matches again!“ 😂😂😂 As if she would have a say into that and as if the umpire could not care less.

I know she's in the right for the call, but to act like that much of a brat over it is just a bad look.

[@jbond119]

[@TheLouzer_]

@@jbond119 But this wasn't a rule she was asking, it was point of fact. "If he calls early, replay point, and if late, it's her point" is the rule, but she's mad because he didn't agree with her that he called late. The timing of a call is point of fact, not a rule.

[@GdNYa]

​@@TheLouzer_ no matter what the ump was wrong about the call. Coco wanted to "clarify" that with the supervisor so she can argue about what happened here. Ump just didn't care and stuck to his stupid "that's how I remember" argument. If it's supposed to be a fact you can't be saying that.

[@TheLouzer_]

@GdNYa The question she wanted to ask because "she didn't know the rule" was not a rule question. It was an opinion-based question, and wouldn't have changed anything. She wanted to ask "can he call it before or after the play", which is an opinion, not a rule.

[@Emma-li5or]

Can someone please explain to me what the rules say about when you are allowed to challenge? Melichar-Martinez seemed very confident, but I have heard umpires before say you can't wait to see if your shot goes out and then challenge. Does anyone know who is in the right here?

[@user-oj7co5wm8g]

I don’t know the rule but I would say most umpires I’ve seen have acted like this umpire did. Right or wrong it’s consistent and not deserving of penalty. That said, had the player challenged when she saw the ball hit, like most others do, then she would have been correct as the ball was out.

[@MrMystzor]

It's pretty easy Umpire was in the right, because you can challenge shortly after the ball landed out, and if that was the end of a point, you have few seconds to call a challenge. But in that case that ball was not the end of play, so you have to challenge in an instant, meaning you interrupt the point and call challenge before your shot lands anywhere. In this situation she waited to see if her ball was going out, and when it did she called the challenge. That is not allowed, you cannot decide whether to challenge or not after seeing that you missed the ball, if the ball would be in she would gladly take the point and not challenge it. If you are certain oponent ball was out, you interrupt the point regardless of your shot, she simply didn't and wanted to abuse the system.

[@jordanmitchell1939]

It’s literally a contradiction… if your ball doesn’t land it can’t be called out, and if it’s not called out there’s no need to challenge. The umpire was out of her mind trying to use that logic

[@GdNYa]

The thing is the serve was out. Not the shot. If she challenged without following her own ball til it landed out and looked at the serve instead it would've been a challenge 100%. She was too late here

[@Pol-jj7my]

If a ball is out and you want to challenge it, you should raise your hand and stop everything and challenge. What you cannot do is wait for your shot to land to decide if you challenge or not. This was a perfect example: the player waited for her shot to land to challenge. And we all know that if the shot was in, she would not have challenged. So that's perfect logical umpiring.

The umpire’s argument against Melichar-Martinez is just bizarre. It sounds like she’s saying you can’t wait for the ball to be called out before you challenge. But how on earth are you supposed to challenge before a call is made? I don’t really get the fuss over challenging too late at all. Who cares if the challenge comes 1 second after vs 5 seconds after

[@woggle455]

Melichar-Martinez was challenging the serve, not her shot. Waiting long enough for her next shot, the return, to land and be called out means she's waited too long to challenge the serve.

[@joshc.6706]

So if she’s challenging the serve, I can understand the judgement the chair umpire is having. She waited for to see if her return goes out and then made a challenge call. The umpire essentially is saying if your return goes in, you wouldn’t have challenged the serve. She’s thinking that the challenge is being used as a bailout to a poorly hit return

I love how Kalinskaya said. Yes I am! Not her problem. No need for storm to confront her. It was her own mistake and umpires decision.

Coco was right!!!

Goddamn Allison Hughes has gotten massive. She was always heavy but wow

[@sakethrenati1536]

90% of the time I agree with the umpires but I think that number is dropping pretty quickly now

[@nonamecommenter]

The way I would have gotten violent towards that umpire after repeating the same thing over and over, Gauff is stronger than me 😂also are there any repercussions for inaccurate calls especially when they refuse to call the supervisor or reverse the decision cause a sorry cannot be enough

[@ilovetati91]

Sounds like you need a therapist then

[@yassimchenard243]

Coco gauff was 100% right but at some point just need to move on and just play you will never win an argument against a referee anyway

Ostapenko, watch your diet first, then try to play proper tennis, then argue if you want to.

[@chuckersthenut2097]

Women getting a lot more uppity

Replace Gauff for someone like Federer or Nadal or Djoko and that supervisor is there in 10 secs.
