I´m sorry for being harsh, but you´re a fool writing that. These are guys fighting for their lives to pursue a career in this sport, and it is 100% understandable that players in Prihodkos shoes take that point rather than being "sportsmanlike". Secondly, the yell itself, even tough it´s hindrance, did not change anything. So technically, justice was actually done, even though the umpire made a mistake.

[@MrMartin48705]

@@knoxmad1 the rules say otherwise, as you can easily see in any other video on this channel. Hindrance = replaying the point, whether it was or wasn't impossible to get to the ball. End of story.

[@mariooliver6109]

Ahhhhhhh ahhhhhhhh ahhhhh

[@frfdrake]

That Kyrgios saying, baseline ist the easiest to call from chair is just hilarious and shows, how less knowledge he has about umpiring. Would be great to see him in the chair, cause it would probably be so terrible...

[@jiboo6850]

he's right because the ball projects clay towards the back and sides so it doesn't leave place to misinterpretation. the impact is clean to read. when on the side lines, clay is kinda hiding the impact where it's supposed to meet the line. which makes it more difficult to judge. you clearly don't know shit about clay huh? and 15 dummies liked it... priceless.

[@jonathanfrakes2703]

That comparison makes absolutely no sense. It's not up to Kyrgios to be a good umpire. Why would it be?

[@maxf6247]

[@onyx081]

If he hasn't learned by now then he's clearly never going to.

[@jaymercer4692]

For most players when they disagree with the umpire they lose a point or two. For Kyrgios, he loses at least the following set if not the whole match because his small little brain cannot focus on more than one thing and his childlike rage makes that one thing the umpire rather than the match. At this point he’s a professional stroppy toddler, not a tennis player.

Ahh, my favourite channel has uploaded a new clip, and Wimbledon is underway. Hohoho!!!

[@TennisAdvocate]

🙏💚

[@CakeorDeath420]

When Paire smashed those 2 balls out of the court for a ball abuse violation, you could see the linesman as well as the ball girl flinch a bit. That was very close to them and could have been dangerous if it had hit her (as she was more in line of the hit). The other one was when Gulbis threw the racket at the net, the ball girl was close (she was so tiny too, she's barely taller than the net). Imagine the racket hitting her. Penalty for gear abuse of this kind needs to be more severe if it is this close to ground staff.

[@BluntedRazor98]

Lol Tsitsipas literally hitting a return with such force to deliberately hit Alcaraz. And he calls Nick a bully lol after he again tried to do it to Kyrgios at Wimbledon

[@saad_ziane]

It's been a while since Tsitsipas has been penalized by the chair umpires who apply the rules only for him. Sometimes his father just has to say "Come on" and he gets a code violation and it's so unfair, especially when you see Alcaraz having whole discussions with his box during all his matches but everyone pretends they didn't see it. And as luck would have it, just after his video receiving coaching went viral on social media, they come out with a new rule allowing coaching, because of course we can't punish the new golden boy. This is so ridiculous. p.s.: you have the right to disagree, I don't care.

[@dianalazar6541]

Come on they obvs didn’t make that new rule only for alcaraz

[@joaquinr.1314]

Sometimes, maybe, but not this time. Line judges miss calls sometimes, if he’s so sure it’s out he can stop play and have the umpire check the mark. Just the same as with the hawk eye. He has no point at all and acts like a spoilt child - he’s the worst

Tsitsipas has a reputation for Coaching so he gets more penalties than anyone for it even though everyone does it. I understand why he gets frustrated.

[@seltaeb9691]

Some of these players ie Gulbis have no respect for the court & the ground staff who look after it. The fury directed at umpires is at times near scary an assault. This is beyond sport & becomes a matter of abuse & players need to be banned from a period of playing. Shameful & out of hand.

Do everybody put the video in x0.25 to verify every call from the referee for hindrances or late call ? To end up being scandalized by the claim of one of the other(to be fair to the referees, the player’s request to replay are 99% of the time unfounded)

[@meandermyself61]

OK, every time i see Tsitsipas the phrase 'bathroom break' isn't far behind. I mean what's he DOING in there? Joking aside, he's not just taking breaks but using them to get coaching advice as well as break an opponent's momentum. He, of all people in the world does NOT get to complain about an opponent's bathroom breaks. Kudos for the umpire starting at 30-0, (2 time penalties.) Should have happened against Murray, and infact the umpire was lenient here strictly speaking.

The difference is that alcaraz took his bathroom break at the end of the set while tsitsipas took it in the middle of the set which is not allowed as per the rules

Commentators are so wrong on the Kyrgios match. Player shouldn’t be responsible for making sure they hit the ball and stay engaged into the match and then have to call their own lines and face having it overturned on them because it happens on the clay.

Why not use one of the cameras filming the whole damn match, like in hockey. Wouldn't been a single wrong point then.

[@lespaul5734]

They do use the tech, but not in every tournament. On clay courts like these, the only surface which leaves a mark from a ball, there aren't any cameras. Umpire errors exist but are few on this surface because you can check the mark. On other surfaces like grass or hard courts, there is a replay

[@bigrobsydney]

Its the same story in so many of these. Line calls. Tournaments need to use technology, whether it's Hawkeye Live, or another system. It would completely eliminate those issues. It's a professional sport; the least the tournaments could do, is be professional in their running and officiating. Why is it the players have to be professional, yet the officials can get away with amateur hour? As spectators thousands of miles away, we get to see replays, and Hawkeye, yet the officials don't? Almost every spectator there has a smartphone with a camera ibn their pocket as well; why can't the tournament allow video review of various things, like the timing of a line call compared to when a player hits a shot, or whether there is a not up situation? Why???
