[@thepuristsnightmare]

How is the umpire going to explain to Sakkari what SHE said and what she meant by saying that?😂😂 And even if we act like she did say "no" instead of "oh", she said it under her breath so there is no way it's more "hindering" then the screaming(which they consider grunting) some players do after their shots Hate how in tennis, players supposedly can't even play through the smallest inconveniences, whilst in other sports there isn't even such thing as "hinderance" ...

When is the WTA finally going to protect the players, the fans and the integrity of the game of tennis by ending her sad "career"? Come on man ... and the icing on the cake was the OTHER umpire on Sabalenka's match. What was THAT??? Some of the worst umpires' decisions we've ever seen in the videos that the Tennis Advocate uploads. That was AWFUL

[@alecplummer6539]

I think Krejcikova was right tho tbh. How are you supposed to challenge a ball that you already started to prepare for and therefor has to play because if Krejcikova was wrong it would’ve been point to Osta/Kichenok. She had to hit the ball and immediately challenged right after and she physically couldn’t have been any faster

[@einarsd4]

@@alecplummer6539 That's not how that rule works. You can only challenge a point ending shot or any shot after which you stop the play. According to official tennis rules in this instance Krejcikova challenged bit too late. First you challenge the point and then you stop, but that must happen immediately after the line call. You can't make another shot. In this case Krejcikova's challenge was a hindrance.

[@alecplummer6539]

@@einarsd4 how is it a hinderance when Krejcikova hit the ball out. It’s hard to stop the point when your three or 4 ft behind the baseline hitting a topspin backhand lob. Also in Guadalajara they have electronic line calling so Krejcikova had to wait a little bit to challenge

[@einarsd4]

@@alecplummer6539 You must immediately stop the play to challenge the call. You can't wait and then challenge. Call happens immediately after the ball bounces and that's when challenge should be made. Krejcikova in this instance was bit too late.

[@jennym2276]

The first two were with Russo and he seemed wrong to me on both. Maybe he saw the service fault clearly on the Garcia one but calling hindrance in Sikkari match was nuts. You could hardly hear it, doubt it effected Rus.

[@cambed71]

In regard to the Ostapenko/Krejcikova doubles match, I think even if you commit to your shot and wait for it to go out etc, who cares, if the prior ball was out, it should be your point. You have three challenges, you should be able to use them whenever you see fit. Hell, I'd be cool with players challenging a ball 10 shots prior cos if the opponents ball was out, then it should be their point. They shouldn't be required to keep a rally going if the opponent isn't using the space inside the court

[@jennym2276]

But she wasn't sure and called the challenge only when she saw her shot was going out. I'm undecided on this one. I think it's a bit too late. However the ball was out, it should have been called by the linesperson. They had no business winning the point.

And then, after the refuse to use technology, the mistakes that they make cannot be corrected, robbing players who are fighting for the win. In tennis, a single point can make a huge difference. These mistakes are just unacceptable.

[@sorongvanl]

@@bigrobsydney I didn't miss the point. You were referring to umpires and line judges officiating tennis matches. Then you use 'refusing to use technology' and 'will not use replay technology'. You act as if these people can just decide to officiate in a different way. They can't.

[@bigrobsydney]

@@sorongvanl yes, you did miss the point, because I said the officials CANNOT. My question is, when the technology clearly IS available, why has this situation arisen. It is laughable that spectators thousands of miles away can see replay after replay yet someone right there at the epicenter cannot, and, worse still, they are the people (the officials) who could MOST benefit from using it, as opposed to some random nobody's thousands of miles away.
