The umpire in the Volynets - Maria match should be punished for her mistake… She didn't know the most basic rule…

[@denisvavilin983]

she did it in the potapova arango match too

[@alessandroganzerli884]

And She was laughing like a bitch​@@denisvavilin983

[@boomrhoovr2351]

It was painful to watch, like she was chatting to a bot

[@NicetoAnimals]

Absolute gaslighting by the umpire

[@lickos83]

Neither Volynets nor anyone here seems to be able to say it: SHE DOESN'T SPEAK ANY ENGLISH WHATSOEVER. She wasn't able to comprehend what Volynets said at all! She just reiterated the few sentences she memorized for situations like this. What she said didn't fit the situation and wasn't a proper response to Volynets' point. Absolute language barrier. So she shouldn't just be punished for the mistake but actually not be allowed back until she can properly communicate. That's an absolute disgrace to anyone who learned English as a foreign language (like me and millions of other people). You wanna work on the WTA tour with international people from all over the world, you MUST be able to speak basic English. End of story.

[@gmansp77]

The umpire Carvalho, the Volynets umpire, is a complete airhead and should never be allowed to umpire again.

[@soulja655]

She did the same thing in the potapova vs arango match in Guadalajara. Someone needs to teach her the rules.

[@maddoxbeattie1568]

The volynets one is absolutely horrendous.

[@marc-andregauthier5139]

WDYM? To her it didn't interfere. It's a matter of judgment LMAO

[@maddoxbeattie1568]

@@marc-andregauthier5139 but the judgement was clearly wrong. Volynets kept the ball alive

[@caseygreyson4178]

@@marc-andregauthier5139That’s not how the judgement system works. If volynets had hit her return out, then it would have been up to judgement. But because she returned the ball, and then it was called out, that makes it a replay. To be clear, there is NO ROOM for judgement here. It is a fact that she hit the ball back before the call was made, which by the rules means it’s a replay. You can’t just say “judgement” as an excuse. Not for this rule.

I love how she complains about her opponents ball toss and the umpire immediately calls her out for doing the same. What a hypocrite.

[@jaypostma3633]

Volynets was incredibly calm for experiencing one of the worst umpiring decisions I've ever seen, I would have been livid.

[@brxan3096]

Crazy that this isn't the first time I've seen her being calm in a situation where she got screwed by a comical umpire. She seems like a nice/level headed individual & it's annoying seeing these umpires messing up with basically zero repurcussions.

[@matthewbuck5067]

‘But for me, it didn’t interfere’…what a stupid umpire. SMH

[@jackstar3653]

4:10 Absolutely horrendous call from the umpire, clearly got the ball back before the Out call. One of the worst decisions I've ever seen. Umpire should be fined for such a bad call.

There is always one like this "for me for me" . Women ... confused to the fking bone

[@AC-ig5rw]

​@luboradev3755 So you're pretending like there was only one woman in this situation just so that you can be misogynistic? Come on... Yes, the umpire made a mistake but that had nothing to do with the fact that she's a woman and it hindered the female player, so...

More troubling to me is that Maria still wants this point.

[@CA_I]

She won the match in the end, but it did look like a bad call.

[@dayostical]

You know I never looked at her name that way before, and now I can't unsee it.

[@SeaRasp]

Tbf there was actually no way she would get the next ball back anyway

[@MisterReZ]

​@@SeaRasp yes, but thats not the point. The ball was called out waay before the volley. You can even see how displiscent that volley was hit, so the call influenced the point. If she missed that volley, should the point be awarded to volynets? Thats another way to look at that.

[@matthewschultz9551]

Lost some respect for Maria in that Volynets match, horrendous call from the chair umpire! And Townsend putting on a masterclass of acting, poor form! Thank you for coming back with these videos, we've missed them!!

Everyone new it was on purpose, but she was playing with Iga, so she didn’t make drama, if it was someone else it could be interesting

[@Ianadelrey_]

Townsend should know better! She touched the ball and didn't come clean about it? Damn, it's even more dissapointing knowing she's a mother now

[@TennisAdvocate]

[@Meurth]

"For me it didn't interfere" ...does this umpire even understand English? She's just repeating herself endlessly, clearly not even listening to Volynets. How do these umpires even get employed? "Hi I've never played tennis and I don't understand English, can I become an umpire? The pay seems nice"

[@TimmyVo734]

Serious question, is there no oversight for umpires? I understand it’s not easy but I still can’t believe an umpire is infallible and can keep continuing to call matches afterwards with no lapse

[@crm1984]

They would be under the respective tours, so there would be performance feedback. There has been instances previously where an umpire has been removed for the remainder of a tournament, and that would have financial impacts for them. Players can also stipulate if they don’t want a certain umpire, I’m not sure how that process works though.

[@SR-fs2fd]

I support women's tennis only to keep this series going.

[@AC-ig5rw]

That should not be the only reason why you support women's tennis. I like these videos too but why would you even say that?

[@brxan3096]

It's not often that I side with an umpire but I'm glad Sturmer pointed out that Siegemund wasn't in a position to complain at 1:40. She complains about every little thing and in this case it's ironic she's complaining about her opponent's serve/toss while in the same match she did that thing she always does(taking her time with the towels) when her opponent is ready to serve.

[@JayLesykWx]

there’s actually no way the umpire against volynets didn’t know the basic rule of a replay😭😭😭

WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING!!

[@burkhan_musaiev]

As if the supervisor changed anything since 17th century

[@chriswilson7413]

If Maria had missed the volley, they’d have replayed the point. Terrible decision. I would refuse to play until the supervisor came and until the umpire understood the rule and realised her mistake. The match can’t continue under the supervision of someone who isn’t fit to make such basic calls and who could easily make the same terrible mistake again straight after

The sportsmanship in the WTA tour is still to be discovered. Maria and Townsend had great chances to be the bigger person and they chose to take advantage of a terrible call

[@nickprehna8870]

That one with Kostyuk to me that’s 50/50 because she wouldn’t of meant to do that so therefore there shouldn’t have been a warning but at the same time there was a bit of force when the racket a hit the court but I don’t see it as intentional. It’s a tough one to call I would’ve just said play on but I dunno.

[@jbond119]

Putinseva is a jerk but I giggled at the towels remark

[@leecherlarry]

while the bronzetti is perfectly right, nonetheless her ball _was_ out/going out, so she should just accept that she lost the point. in pro ping-pong, even the official umpires never give the point to the bronzetti if/when the opponent touches the ball before it actually touches the ground (=legally confirmed out). it's because EVERYONE can see that the bronzetti has just hit an outball and there's no need to wait for the ball to actually touch the ground; in ping-pong, nobody needs or insists on the legal confirmation. if the outball touches the opponent or the opponent's racket first, on its itinerary "between the table and the floor", then nobody cares. the opponent gets the point, and done! sportsmanship is the very first rule in ping-pong. In no other common sports, sportsmanship is valued and exercised higher. tennis players could learn a lot from the ping-pong sport!!

[@DLundgren22]

Crazy take. Like really really crazy.

[@PeterTraveler]

I hate how women's tennis there's no sportsmanship at all. The men often allow to replay points or give points they know they lost. It's about being fair. Definitely lost respect to some of these women. It's a tennis match. Don't let it dictate a poor act of character.
