Putintseva: "Hopefully, I won't see you again"
Bley: "(Yep! Hope so!)"
All umpires must feel the same...
she (Putintseva) just stupidly frustration and i agree with your comment LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣
12:40 Hahaha. I like that umpire. I'm glad she said "me too" there. :P Putentsova has to be the biggest B on tour. Though i just watched one, i forget her name - in Part 7 of these 2021 videos - who is probably tied with her.
@@johnjeffers1524 99%
If you are single and you think your life is miserable, think that you could be with someone like putintseva
she just needs a boyfriend.
And she doesn't even want to get sweaty
nah lol she definitely isn't ugly.
Not disagreeing, but she wasn't wrong on a couple of those.
why? she is gonna argue for you with all that bs in the world.
kinda like your gf and fighting dog in one person
Putintseva: such a good job
bley: thank you
That umpire in the Putintseva match lowkey look like the one to come down from the chair and smack some sense into her
I wish the umpire would have asked to inspect the laces to check what is wrong about them. If nothing wrong, match lost. That would refrain some players to do that. It hurts the game that is more and more ugly and uninteresting to watch.
@@vianouche1 Well, perhaps here that trick was still funny to watch. It is just a delay. It won't help her that much. Ever played against a real angry opponent? That is scary.
@@voornaam3191 we do not watch tennis to watch delays, this kind of things really make the game very uninteresting. Those strategies are killing the game.
This is part of the game too! You absolutely not understand individual sport ! Your opinion so stupid !
Not a Tennis Advocate video without Putintseva 😂
I like the way she brings the chair umpires into her game of irony
@@martinlozano4108 Yep, but never underestimate this lady umpire. She knows every trick in the book. Did you see that shoe lace replacement? Siegemund was talking German. No problem.
@@voornaam3191 what’s your point?
@@voornaam3191 wut
Or Cibulkova
11:15 finally an umpire that makes clear to an annoying player her position
She should have warned her at this point directly, even tho Putintseva's point is pretty fair. Her performance as a chair umpire was bad
no rather just ur usual umpire with some mental issues needs to feel important yet is blatant incompetent and cant handle to get called out for that
@@woswasdenni1914 Tennis is the only big sport when you are even allowed to argue and it's annoying. try that in football, you'd be instantly booked. Can't stand when players waste their opponents time by arguing.
@@echoes222 Two different sports, completely different situations. Shut up.
@@Toodaloonumber2 nah he’s right. You’re a simp
I would watch a TV show where Putinseva would go around arguing with people.
I would too lol
I'd pay to watch it.
It's called the WTA tour.
despite her getting so much flak for her antics, she's still very good for the tour entertainment wise, even if her game is very bland to begin with...
😂😂😂 i m crying
Putintseva's psychotic smile at 12th minute 😂😂😂
Same as yours.
it was kinda creepy and scary 😧
She's all around horrible
она действительно улыбается как ебнутая@@IvenaSvetlanaSkyarova
1:39: Umpire " You want me to give a warning to your coach?". Hilarious!!
Hahahahahhaa
Cirstea was cute asking the umpire to give her coach a warning
Can't stand people like her coach. I hope she fired him immediately after the match.
@@justdev8965 I agree, don't know why she put up with him this far .
@@justdev8965 he's coaching her yet she was just stressed this day
That was funny as shit
Cirstea: "can you give him a warning please" 😂
Putintseva is the most annoying player ever! I feel bad for Siegemund
She should be married with Paire, they would argue every day with each other
she was right tho
You do have a problem if you feel bad for someone like Siegemund
Bet she was a vile, nasty mean girl at school and still acting like a bullying, mouthy, piece of work.
Truly horrible.
How can the umpire and a player be of the same nationality and speak a language other than english during a tournament. I would be bothered by the calls too.
Wow actually I always found it funny watching Putintseva's crazy moments, but this time it was really ridiculous... She acts like they are in a kindergarten playground, doesn't look like a professional tournament. Too bad for Siegmund. Great words from the umpire.
Never seen her before , looks a real rough character . Must check will she be at Wimbledon 2021 .
She was a bitch, so as Siegmung bitching about her shoes. I mean wtf was that, it takes time to fix that issue and she wasnt slow about it either
@@Vismajor01 The problem is that she torn her shoelaces every time she is in a bad situation. EVERY TIME.
It is the first match I've seen where the ump was dead silent on close calls. Electronic and challenges every match is a must.
Krejcikova is the first person I've seen that has changed an umpires mind 🤔
Because she was right
Sakkari pretending not to understand what’s wrong is the worst. She tried so hard to get that point even if it means looking stupid
@@larbil26 well it’s tough because I‘ve seen many occasions where umpires argue that the fact that you challenge makes you lose the point if your challenge is wrong. In general I‘d agree easily to replay the point but then I‘ve seen in a match of radwanska for example where she was in the very same situation losing the point and even the supervisor didn’t change that call and that was only because she challenged even though the rally would have stopped regardless because a call was made even if it was overruled. So if every umpire makes different choices in the same situations how are you supposed to react and commit to the rules…
@@ctrI4 well in the Radwanska situation the WTA issued an apology to her because it was a wrong decision. Players know that if play is stopped by the umpire or line judge they can challenge just for the heck of it because play was stopped anyway
@@larbil26 this sport has become so shitty because of this entitled players, what a bad show they give to the public
4:53 i really like Krajcikova, she was so chill about explaining what happened
She was probably thinking, what wouldn't Siniakova do right now.
@@tbx59 I would not follow Siniakova in any way 😂
@@tbx59 arent they doubles partners lol- Yin and Yang
I think Krejcikova should have lost the point because she challenged incorrectly; hbu?
@@AinSoph73 well not really . The point should be replayed anyways since the line judge made a wrong choice. She played the ball so you can also see that there is no reason for her to lose that point
Bro umpires are the most calm people in this world… I would’ve literally put on a fight with anyone and then cried for the rest of the match
Putintseva and Paire should team up for mixed doubles
LOL! I'd pay good money to watch that.
And the other side would have krygios and tomic teamed up already..
Benoit Paire is too tall for her....better Fognini !
HILARIOUS!
Putintseva: MAD
The umpire: 👁👄👁
Asking the umpire to give your own coach a warning (which would give you a violation warning) is one that I haven’t seen before
That chair umpire in the yulia match was everything!!!!! Go girl!!
Just so everyone knows Coco Gauff was wrong and the umpire was correct. A server is allowed to catch an errant ball toss with their hand or racquet. The point starts when the server hits at the ball after it has been tossed in the air and not necessarily when the ball makes contact with the racquet. The difference being if a server tosses the ball, hits at the ball and misses contact it would still count as a serve and be called a fault.
Since Vondrousova did not use her racquet to hit at the ball but rather catch the ball the umpire was correct to let her serve without calling a fault. This rule was not recently changed as Gauff claims. I played someone in 2010 who served and missed contact with the ball and had to ask an umpire to look up the rule. This rule is at least 10 years old and most likely much older.
That's such a shitty subjective rule tho. What if the umpire subjectively determines that Vondrusova was attempting a underhand serve (it's obviously not, but grey area here)? Also, isn't it also another rule that if after the toss the racquet is swung but does not contact the ball, it STILL is considered fault?
@@doktorhypebeast as stated in my previous comment, the point starts when a player swings their racquet at the ball once it is tossed in the air. If a player tosses the ball in the air, swings at the ball and misses contact, then it is a fault. The rule is pretty black and white. Either a player swings at the ball or doesn't. I've never seen anyone argue this rule in my 10 years of playing USTA, high school and college tennis. I've also never seen anyone argue about whether or not a player attempted to swing at a serve in over 20 years of watching televised tennis so I think the rule is pretty clear cut.
@@kingkevvi shiiiiiit ok wait
So !
Such a rare case i have to think about. In my memory, according to rule:
The point begins WITH the toss.
To be clear, tossing is serving. Even still the ball in hand, is beginning the point. That's why underhand serve is allowed.
JUST
stands some tolerance, forbearance with "undestandable" ... exceptions.
any unusual ,external from the server exception.
The best known is the wind, a bird passing by close ... Some disturbing noise ...
It means that you have to integrate that, with no noise or wind, once you start the tossing swing, you have to play , can't stop, the beginning of the point happened.
JUST traditional fairplay allow a single missed toss.
2 ?? I shut up...
3 ?? I award the opponent that the next times ... max 1 missed toss will be allowed and... just because i am gracefull and educated about fairplay.
At this point, the opponent have to apologize and thank :)
So... Gauff was (allmost) right, but Momo ( the Umpire ) is allowed to state about some fairplay "zone " :)
As an Umpire i will directly consider the third as fault.
The opponent is ready, waiting, and ... Is it possible to miss 3 tosses and serve in less than 20s ?? ;)
Just a point, i am quite sure that according to the rule, there must be a toss.
Sooo... usual underhand serve is playing with the limit think of it :)
Gauff was right :)
Putinseva is unintentionally hilarious. "I'm sick of getting all sweaty".
Hahahaha it has no sense tho
11:59 just imagine yourself in a nightmare with this smile following you
True brother😂😂😭
@@zen.4332 Sister* :)
12:00 Putintsevas joker grin is rather disturbing
Good to have you back, pal. With everything going on in the world now, I can release some stress by enjoying the misfortunes of professional tennis players.
I cannot believe how much this channel cheers me up. Weird.
Thank you , guys. Sorry for the wait.
@@uxpjsxu lol
ah how I've missed these videos :) looking forward to more this coming year! Bley handled that situation pretty well ngl
Cirstea one was hilarious 😂😂😂
Yeah
Mrozińska, Sakkari, czech player and important point. It reminds me the situation in Rome 2018 with Plíšková :)
True , but in this case the umpire was right . Sakkari really wanted that point
@@giovil5708 well in this video the czech player got the point repeted and won the match so , I guess she does have the mentality lol
@@giovil5708 well it depends on situation I guess . It can happen to anyone
@@giovil5708 I don't think so. I think they are the same as other players. For example Krejčíková saved three set points in a row twice and in match with Sakkari she had match point at 5-3, but she lost that game, then she was broken, but she finished it in tiebreak.
Exactly:) and this situation reminds me of Radwanska - Nouni drama in Doha from the match with Safarova:)
14:26 even Putinseva's attitude in this match was WAY worse than usual, I do not understand why the umpire is talking in german to Siegemund. This shouldn't be allowed, the other player should understand the whole conversation. (not a Putinseva fan, disgusting behaveiour lol)
Nah this is has happened before in big matches like Federer and Cilic French Open 2021
Fortunately Miriam Bley is one of the most patient umpire I've seen in this tour otherwise she couldn't avoid Yulia's provocation with this classy.
Loved Bley’s response. I’d have trouble not getting out of the chair and smacking Putintseva
WHYYYY do these players (and refs) keep effing up those easy challenge decisions. Sakkari is another one of those bone headed players that doesnt get it or just cheats like she did against Pliskova.
Mrozinska messes up at least once per match in some way or another.
Pliskova was the idiot to smash the ball like if it had to travel to Athens.
@@VV-vi4df was still in
@@VV-vi4df You’re kidding right? You're saying it's Pliskova's fault that the line judge and umpire fucked up because she hit it too hard? What a stupid comment.
@@falks941 hahaha come down Pinocchio. Of course the refs were the problem. It was IN, unfair decision. What I tried to say is that it was unecessary to smash with that force. It was a smash just next to the net. The point was won with a little push. She tried to give to much force and that's not a good risk calculation.
Siegemund: “Do you need help?”
I’m dying 😂
ONE HOUR LATER still tying shoes.
I love how unaffected and unbothered Coco sounds against Vondrousova. Very matter of fact. 🤣
OMG...they need to make a rule for the Sakkari krejcikova situation. The exact same situation happened between safarova and radwsnska...ball was called out and then corrected, Radwsnska challenged the ball which was indeed in, and the umpire granted the point to Safarova because ‘Radwsanska can’t have two chances to win the point’. Exact same scenario here, should krejcikova lose that point because she still challenged it after the correction? Or should she be able to challenge and if wrong, replay the point anyway. Cmon WTA, make a rule and learn it.
Absolutely. The call was corrected by the linesman, so they should have replayed the point straight away. However the Moment Krejcikova challenged the call is like she is saying that she doesn't believe the ball was in so she is stopping the point. If hawk eye shows it is out she wins however the ball was in so she is wrong and therefore loses the point. Sakkari was correct and the Umpire was wrong.
@@ald4425 @Al D what are you talking about? When the line judge called it out the point stopped even though he corrected his call right away. That is, Barbora was not the person stopped the point. The point was already stopped before her challenge so it should be replayed. Sakari tried to steal the point and complaint that her opponent stopped the point. WTF
I agree. Because if its out, then krejikova won thr point, if it was in then they replay the point
Correct; Krejcikova was allowed to double dip. Once you question the integrity of a point, you should lose that point, and your challenge, if you are incorrect.
@@azmadkareem4782 No because Krejcikova challenges the ball that was called in and since she was wrong she should lose the point. Now she got a "free challenge" since if she was right she would've won the point and now when she was wrong the point is still replayed.
Umpires really don't get paid enough to put up with this BS.
9:30 longest ball I've seen in my life
ikr
You're not a professional. How can u know?
Me: never played tennis ...
2am and watching tennis argument matches
@1:14 if Cirstea's coach is talking to her, why is it not considered coaching and a warning given? Same thing happened in the Medvedev game where he yelled at his coach to stop talking to him and there was nothing said about coaching then either. I'm confused about the coaching rule these days
in wta it is allowed, in atp not
@@kajdacci I thought they changed that recently. At least for for slams?
@@WWIIDDSS slams remain slams - no coaching at all
Miriam Bley makes my day!
She was very professional and still treated Putintseva with respect despite not receiving respect back.
@@TennisAdvocate Nah she's condescending as well
@@CountryCowboy008 how?
@@iandrane7661 When she say " thank you" she got into the mind game of putintseva
She has a great name. I am Dutch, and I wonder wether the Bley family could have Dutch or German roots. Perhaps Bley is her husbands name. Obviously, Miriam speaks German, talking to Miss Siegemund. This was a funny mind game, and indeed, Bley played did great.
Cristea’s argument with her coach looks like an undercover couple’s dispute.
whoever came up with this channel is a genius
Krejcikova has the same situation like Radwanska 7-8 years ago.
If you compare the reactions.. 😂
Siegemund got that karma back from the match with Mladenovic
Shush
Freud
when a player constantly argues with the umpire over calls etc they will eventually get warned for unsportsmanlike conduct
I am sure Miriam could not wait this darned match to finish at last. It was so annoying and depressing to struggle vs little bad girl with no manners.
Miriam Bley definitely handled the situation well and professionally.
When laura talked in german i said wunderbarrr!
i'm always wondering with people like Putnitseva, or Paire - why the opposing players are not telling them to shut up and play the game? I would certainly do so.
This is a normal instinct to have, but if you think about it it may make the situation worse. These players are powder kegs that get set off by the smallest thing. Imagine how much worse the act would get if their opponent told them to shut up and play the game. lol I'm sure it would make for a great TennisAdvocate video, but the people involved would regret it. lol
cause they are trying to keep their focus on the game. If they lose it, tennis becomes very hars for them.
@@hovz-zo8lf you're probably right... although it wouldn't stop me, as I love to trigger other people ;P
Sports without public is like a meal without guests LOL
telling her coach to shut up and asking the referee to warn him. gotta be funniest thing ive seen lmao
Sorana: "sit closer to each other"... 15 min later: "now I want you two to hug and kiss each other on the mouth" :-)))))
Wjat kind of brazzers is tjat?
why did she tell em that? is she anti-covid???
Coco was right, can't hate her for knowing the rules. Then if the ref apply the rules to their interpretation, then it's not ok. Rules are rules.
Exactly! It so pathetic to see that an umpire doesn't know such a basic rule.. And Vondrusova is even worse with her reaction. They are both like amateurs.
not true. www.itftennis.com/media/4421/2021-rules-of-tennis-english.pdf page 8 and 9. Catching the ball with a racquet is fine.
@@SYYY13857 you're both right. Players being allowed to catch the ball with their racquet is a recent rule change. In the past if the ball touches the racquet before bouncing it was considered a fault. Gauff wasn't wrong for asking because that used to be the rule.
@@seanboulderformerlymel3000 If I remember correctly, this was the rule in 2016 in Canada (Tennis Canada's rulebook, which follows the ITF rulebook closely). Coco made her debut in 2018 so she's definitely wrong here.
@@seanboulderformerlymel3000 you are allowed to catch an errant ball toss with your racquet as long as you don't hit the ball in a service motion. This rule was not recently changed. I remember looking this rule up circa 2010 so the rule is at least 11 years old and probably significantly older
Gauff - I don’t know why she was mad
Also Gauff - tries to take her opponents first serve off her😂
she literally wasn’t😐 she was asking if she was allowed to do or not smh
@@sashakyse but it was so unnecessary to ask🤷🏽 she only wanted Vondrousova to loose her serve🙈
@@unknownuser_4245 i don’t think so.. i think she just wanted to know if it was in the rules or not
@@sashakyse Yeah but that could have been just the motivation Vondrousova needed to focus and tough the match out, which she nearly did. And for what? Coco to force her to catch a bad toss with her hands? Strange mistake but the heat of competition will sometimes do that to you.
@@AinSoph73 idk.. even if coco did that on purpose, to get vondrousova off focus, vondrousova shouldn’t have let that bug her
Redoing my laces with my non existent fingernails would drive me mad... just buy new shoes lol
do you guys know all the languages or have some fans translating it for you? :D I can volunteer for polish and spanish!
Bummer to see sakkari on here, she’s rarely involved in drama
12:35 that referee is a boss lmao
this is why ur name is karen
Seriously, like Fognini and Paire, I just KNEW Putinseva would be here 🙄🤣
Ahh the old “shoe lace” trick....
“SIT CLOSER TO EACH OTHER!!!” 🤣
I used to believe sakkari was a bystandard in the pliskova incident, now i am doubtful.
Sorana reminds me of an old film by Ernst Lubitch with a piano player that wasn't able to play because a flowerpot was not in the place he wanted it to be....
Gauff young player and that rep will follow you, so be classy
She's ghetto and ridiculously overrated
OMG! Putintseva takes the cake. I'm sure she's thinking "In my country, I put you in gulag."
Putintseva, Ostapenko & Tsitsipas r the biggest disgrace in tennis. I have to vomit when i see these unfair players.
Putinseva is something else. If you can make Siegemund look like the nice one then you gotta real problem.
Never watched tennis a day in my life but i love how aggressive women’s tennis is 😂😂
It's so much fun, especially with the drama in WTA
Gauff was right. If the ball hits the raquet, it's called A SERVE. If the SERVE doesn't go over the net, it's a FAULT.
Actually the umpire was correct. Coco Gauff does not know the correct rule. You are allowed to use your racquet or hand to catch an errant ball toss. It is only deemed a fault if the server swings the racquet at the ball in a service motion. Thus, catching the ball with the racquet is permissible. Also the ball does not have to hit the racquet to be considered a serve. If a server tosses the ball up, swings at the ball and does not make contact with the ball, it is ruled a fault.
Many correction has to made in tennis rules. Every shot should be checked real time without any need of player challenging like in football (penalty check/offside check). Side umpires should call out only if they are very sure, if they have doubt it should be notified to Video assisted umpire and they should check it.
There is a very simple solution. Ban coaches from being present during games - they are not allowed to coach anyway during a game - so why are they there ??
Why they don't have video cameras on that lines to tell for sure was the ball out or not? Why no replays?
i liked the geman umpire in the siegemunde match. she looked cute!
great upload!
Thank you, sir 🎾
If your player asked you to be quiet during a MATCH and only a match you should listen to them unless they're in danger of serious injury.
Sakkari absolutely LAUNCHED that ball
Coco being a huge annoyance... oh wait... i hadnt watched Putintseva yet
It was a weird battle for her to pick.
That was actually one of Petkovics career highlights - throwing a racket.
And after that always smile at the handshakes. It seems to me a must smile
12:46 the umpire looks like she’s about to cry
Vondrousova overreacted, but Gauff should’ve have waited for a changeover before asking that question, and not interrupted the service game. She was wrong anyway, and I don't know what makes her think she knows the rules better than an umpire. And Sakkari seems to try and cheat more often than I originally thought.
Gauff wanted to get the point and I think she's right about the rule.
@@steve0122steve She isn't right. The official rules say that a player who tosses the ball and then decides not to hit it is allowed to catch the ball with the hand or the racket, or to let the ball bounce.
@@falks941 I don't think it's a fair rule TBH. Then how do you tell your opponent is trying to toss again or do an underarm serve?
@@steve0122steve Fair or not, it's still a rule. I think, with some common sense, it's pretty easy to tell the difference. For one thing, the ball would have actually left Vondrousova's racket if she'd attempted an underarm serve, and she wouldn't have thrown the ball that high in the air if she planned on serving underarm. The same applies to other situations too.
She didn't interrupt the service game. Vondrousova held up the game by going on about a simple question. Gauff asked the umpire a question, he answered, end of story.
Wow can't believe sakkari was fighting that hard to win the point when the call was corrected.....no wonder pliskova was upset when she pulled the same thing
It was the same umpire lol
With coco gaff and the drama I think Coco was right because it is a rule, wether or not u were meant to hit it
Here is a part of the ATP rulebook. RULE 19
Case 1: After tossing a ball to serve, the server decides not to hit it and catches it instead. Is this a fault?Decision: No. A player, who tosses the ball and then decides not to hit it, is allowed to catch the ball with the hand or the racket, or to let the ball bounce.
Dare to see comments about Gauff, yet Putsineva made a spectacle of that entire match...whew!!! privilege.
Please stop. 90% of the comments here are about Putinseva. I had to scroll through like 20 comments (other than yours) before I found one that mentioned Gauff.
Gauff was right to question the ref about her opponent catching the ball with her racquet because there used to be a rule that says that if the ball touches your racquet after a toss, it's a fault. The new rule that you can catch a ball with your hand, racquet, or let it bounce was obviously a among the ongoing rule modernization. Older players didn't have the string or racquet technology to control an errant toss on the racquet (try catching a ball on an old racquet and string and you'll see what I mean). Gauff was likely taught that it was against the rules by someone who wasn't aware of the rule change.
However, it was rude and imprudent to question the rule while her opponent was serving. While it was likely just immaturity, it reeked of a sportsmanship. The best way to handle that was to question the umpire on the rule during the changeover not during her opponent's serve.
Incidentally, Putinseva was also a beneficiary of the new rule changes as lacing her shoes would not be allotted "reasonable time." Under the old rules she'd have to play with the broken laces until the changeover or forfeit the match.
Gauff is not above criticism. Some of you fanatics need to stop acting like she is. It's annoying and casts a negative light on her.
@@seanboulderformerlymel3000 next time reply to the ones you saw other than mine. Who ever said she was above criticism? Or who said I was a fanatic? You have an excessive amount of time this morning that I don’t, enjoy your coffee and good day.
@@Queenc782 If you don't know whether I've responded to the one (singular) that I saw why would you assume so confidently that I didn't? You had time to write all that, but not respond to the merits of my comment? 🤣 Well, enjoy your day as I'm clearly not engaging with a sensible person. Hopefully people with depth will read this exchange and get the message I'm trying to convey.
I never want Putintseva to retire she's so funny and entertaining to watch with her tantrums haha..
Is not a Drama in Tennis video without Putintseva...
sigh* i see a lot of myself in vondrousova. i do the exact same thing probing and probing. make it bigger that it actually is. and next thing u know ur focus is all on that, u cant let it go. and its cost u the match!
Krejcikova could start her own RUclips series called "I Lost That Point - Change My Mind"
I mean Sakkari, you are not the most honest person on the court 🙄🙄 remember what happened with Pliskova
Putintseva is like the female version of Nick Kyrgios. Imagine them playing mix doubles...
It's so so sad that electronic line calls will eliminate all this ridiculous drama.
That malicous smile of Putintseva towards Siegemund at 16:42 was disgusting.
Could someone pls explain what happened with Krejcikova and Sakkari? It seemed to me that S's ball was called out, then corrected to in, and K challenged the in call. By doing this she made her return null and the result of the point lay entirely on whether S's shot was in or out. Since it was in, I think it should be S's point. Am I wrong? TIA
That racket abuse pentalty against Gauff was very heavy handed.
Yeah, I think it was harsh to give her a racket abuse warning. Putintseva and other players always throw their rackets (without breaking it) and they don't get warned. I think some of the veteran umpires are a bit too strict.
If you look at the replay it rebounded and the ball girl had to avoid it so it was well worth the warning - if it hit the ball girl that would be a disqualification.
Sakkari: 99% muscles 1% fair play
Now putintseva know she could've taken off her shoe to lace it🤣🤣🤣
what is Sakkaris problem at 4:08? the ball was called out, then the correction was made and that should lead to the point being replayed. Krejcikova challenging doesn't change that, it would only change the point in her favor if the challenge was successful
Apparently if the ball is called out and then corrected, and the player challenges the ball and is wrong, they lose the point, despite them not being the ones who interrupted the rally. It's a controversial rule that has created similar issues before.
Ridiculous, all the times I have watch Tennis this is Crazy
Here's the thing...if you throw up the ball and catch it with your racket, it's a fault.
That is the rule.
That Putintseva is a nightmare.
Mrozinska is like the worst umpire ever. Every match with her is bad calls and some drama
