yeah, HORRIBLE. The speed wasnt really fast, the distance ball-line was ridiculous, the call after 2 big seconds... and we talk about an empire, not ordinary eyes, and he fail like an asshole and he respond to her like and idiot. Pls go home
I know umpires are only human but mistakes like this should never happen at a Premier event. Errani is one of the slowest servers on the WTA, so the ball would've been travelling at 70, maybe 75mph at the very most. If he can't clearly see where such a slow ball lands, then how would he manage to umpire a match with the likes of Petra or Serena, with 110mph+ serves blasting in all directions? Scary that such incompetent people can get into positions like this.
plus not only does he get the initial call wrong he compounds his error by then saying he made the call before the returner struck the ball which was clearly incorrect also
Thank you for that. I was searching the comments to see if Errani prevailed in the end. Good, she deserved to win after such an upsetting delay caused by such an egregious error on the part of the umpire.
He wasn't just wrong with the call but also about when he called it- as Errani said, he made 2 mistakes. But now we have people arguing here about whether the return was in or out and whether the umpire harmed or helped Errani with his call.
Per quelli che dicono "di cosa si lamenta la Errani": la Wickmayer ha risposto PRIMA che il servizio della Errani fosse chiamato fuori. Il problema è che la sua risposta è finita fuori, anche se di poco. Quindi dopo il challenge che ha dimostrato che la palla della Errani era buona, il punto doveva essere dato a lei, e non rigiocato. La Errani non mi è per niente simpatica, ma in questo caso ha avuto assolutamente ragione.
He called out way after Wickmayer hit the ball but her ball looked in. Some people on here think it's out but he should have hawkeyed Wickmayers to either give Errani the point if it were out or replay if it was in.
Fortunately, this kind of mistakes is impossible to happen again in hard courts tournaments thanks to the automated call. But we still have issues with Roland Garros and Wimbledon (and terrible mistakes).
How could this guy be allowed to chair for any match? First he has poor eyesight. That shot was so in, not even close to the line, but he called it out. Second he lied about what happened. Wickmayer hit the ball before it was called out. So Errani should have gotten the point.
It cost her an advantage and a challenge, and it was a ridiculously poor call that he had no business making as he overruled the line judge on the far side. I don't even watch tennis and I can understand why he needed a lashing. That guy should be out of a job. If you start a fire in your office, that's bad, but what if it was because you were lighting fireworks? Should your boss stop yelling at you because you admitted your mistake? Mom's spaghetti.
haha the really funny thing is that the return of Wickmayer would have been a winner...her serve is so bad...I dont really get it why she was so angry she saw that Wickmayer returned the ball...but yes the decision of the umpire was very bad in a crucial situation...
she should be happy actually because didnt her opponent hit a direct winner from her soft serve. Her coach would understand her anger at how bad his eyes were in that second, but the main point would be thd umpire saved him. She is so lovely Errani when she is angry. She didnt get personal just frustrated. Beautiful person. i think the adrenaline from the crowd makes you continue for a bit lonfer sometimes but she didn't look in the wrong at all. the next week she probably said sorru to the umpird and thanks for sabing me on that point
Well, in umpire's defense, we can see that he made the call milliseconds before the ball bounced out from the court. And that doesn't mean he shouldn't have gave the point to Errani. Moreover, Wickmayer should've just give out the point in the first place. Bad call by the umpire but he's have a point.
Glenn De Block you're out of your mind. that's why sara complained in the first place, cause wick's return was out and sara thought that she should have won the point. the umpire made 2 mistakes, the call and the time of the call. wick return the ball after the call
Horrible call, but there is no way Errani would have won the point as it would have been a winner for Wickmayer. So in the end Errani should be glad she had the chance to replay a point she should have lost.
Wow, you didn't watch the whole video. Errani said he called it out after Wickmayer's ball was out. It was clearly out even though the quality is very bad.
+Calvin Kiggs Are you talking about the hand incident? That wasn't the umpire's fault, that was Justine's. The umpire was rightfully looking at Serena as she was about to serve so they did not see Justine's hand up, so they had to ask Justine who lied about it.
Pause it as soon as he says fault. You'll see Errani stopping because she knows the return is a winner, the she gets surprised and says "no, no" way after the play s done.
Спорт
Damn what a dull dud, he said "out" when the returned ball was already back on Errani's side. Two big mistakes, she said it very well.
1:08 "you called one hour later" hahahaha
I'm sure English is a second language for her, but that was funny the way it sounded.
How in the world could the umpire make such a HORRIBLE mistake, especially considering the lack of speed of the serve and how far in it was.
and how late it was in the match
yeah, HORRIBLE. The speed wasnt really fast, the distance ball-line was ridiculous, the call after 2 big seconds... and we talk about an empire, not ordinary eyes, and he fail like an asshole and he respond to her like and idiot. Pls go home
His third mistake:
Triggering an Italian Woman 😂😂😂😂
But she was still quite respectful in making her (correct) points and she even still called him sir whilst telling him off.

TRASHoftheTITANS Or Lisicki
He also shouldn't be calling a ball on the other side of the court in the first place
plus not only does he get the initial call wrong he compounds his error by then saying he made the call before the returner struck the ball which was clearly incorrect also
Horrible Chair Umpire totally wrong in every way
this is what happens when you smoke crack and drink a beer before climbing in the Chair for a day of work
UMPIRE LIKE THIS SHOULD BE FIRED
How can he say "he doesn't think so" the ball is merely 5 foot inside the line.
chriso1222
If that's 5 feet inside the line, than I'm 20 feet tall in person.
It may as well have been 30 feet!
Unreal.
The point is not if the ball was in our out. It is clear for everybody that it is in, the argument is of completely different nature.
Errani´s jugular is lik about to expload at 2:19
She's completely right, he called the ball when Wickmayer's next shot was about to bounce.
Yes. Althought the Wickmayer return looks in.
He should literally be fired immediately.
And sent to the eye doctor right away!
That is the worst umpire of all time
Thank goodness errani won the match.
Sometimes bad calls can break a match
Thank you for that. I was searching the comments to see if Errani prevailed in the end. Good, she deserved to win after such an upsetting delay caused by such an egregious error on the part of the umpire.
Imagine that dude being a heart surgeon.
this footage is more than enough for ATP to ban this ref forever for any matches
Subakti Subakti you should be banned on RUclips for calling an umpire a ref
...and for not knowing that ATP is men’s tennis, while WTA is women’s. Lol
This guy is the Tomic of line judges.
The umpire is an arrogant fool in this situation. The ball was in by about six inches.
What’s truly unbelievable is that he’s still working. Maybe he got a good eye examination.
And this is the same umpire that gave Djokovic that ridiculous hindrance call at Wimbledon this year!
is there a video of this that includes the ball animation with the crowd's reaction?
This isn't Dragon Ball Z
He wasn't just wrong with the call but also about when he called it- as Errani said, he made 2 mistakes. But now we have people arguing here about whether the return was in or out and whether the umpire harmed or helped Errani with his call.
It´s difficult to evaluate which of the two mistakes are the worst. Seeing the ball out or believing the call was made, when the ball bounced.

serious game. shocking mistake. no apology. what an attitude as a chair umpire. terrible

“One hour later”

He's getting paid extra under the table.
If you make that bad of a call you should be kicked off the chair. Jesus Christ

what was the result of the game anyway?
also the far line is the hardest to judge. mistakes happen, thank god for hawk eye though
Does pro tennis have a gambling issue with umpires too? This overrule was absurd
This guy has now umpired a Wimbledon Mens Singles Final 😅.
Still making the same mistakes.
Terrible, terible umpire.
And he sounds like Bernard Tomic too
I honestly think she handeled that well.
Did they get rid of him? Lol
He was wrong in both cases... His call was so stupid and he called the ball well after wickmayer struck it.
Umpires stick with their decision for the sake of sticking with their decision.... WHICH IS STUPID.
Lmao he said it’s alright
this dude is terrible, saw him at AO 2018 he was super arrogant n rude to wozniacki about challenge call
I wonder what he get paid for doing such stupid calls...
0:20 wow she is quite beautiful accually
Who is this umpire@a?
Seriously? We need to rid the world of chair umpires.
Es fácil, el contrario tiene que darle el punto y listo. Y se termina la discusión. Eso es deportividad
My mistake so I should be forced to stand on the court and grab my ankles while u take ur best shot at me. Fair is fair.
That's far king terrible, that guy should take up fishing
What the hell is her problem, she might've wasted a challenge but u get three a set. The umpire clearly realized he made the mistake and admitted it
It cost her an advantage and a challenge, and it was a ridiculously poor call that he had no business making as he overruled the line judge on the far side. I don't even watch tennis and I can understand why he needed a lashing. That guy should be out of a job.
If you start a fire in your office, that's bad, but what if it was because you were lighting fireworks? Should your boss stop yelling at you because you admitted your mistake? Mom's spaghetti.
I think she should forfeit the match and launch the protest against such umpire
Bad Umpire. Coward to accept the truth
haha the really funny thing is that the return of Wickmayer would have been a winner...her serve is so bad...I dont really get it why she was so angry she saw that Wickmayer returned the ball...but yes the decision of the umpire was very bad in a crucial situation...
PeteBest HD and
Should get his eyes and his brain tested.
she should be happy actually because didnt her opponent hit a direct winner from her soft serve.

Creees You have no idea what the stasis point here is, do you? Mate sit the fuck down.
are you you kidding me the return was clearly out
Well, in umpire's defense, we can see that he made the call milliseconds before the ball bounced out from the court. And that doesn't mean he shouldn't have gave the point to Errani. Moreover, Wickmayer should've just give out the point in the first place. Bad call by the umpire but he's have a point.
umpire is hot :)
Mamma mia sta buzzurra
wickmayer's return is a clean winner anyways
Glenn De Block naw it was out open ur eyes
c glad nope
c glad if u watch it in slow motion, you see that wickmayer's return lands right on the sideline
Glenn De Block you're out of your mind. that's why sara complained in the first place, cause wick's return was out and sara thought that she should have won the point. the umpire made 2 mistakes, the call and the time of the call. wick return the ball after the call
You are worst than the umpire...Wickmayer hit it out
Horrible call, but there is no way Errani would have won the point as it would have been a winner for Wickmayer. So in the end Errani should be glad she had the chance to replay a point she should have lost.
Wickmayer's ball was out
Looked in to me
Wow, you didn't watch the whole video. Errani said he called it out after Wickmayer's ball was out. It was clearly out even though the quality is very bad.
Clearly out.
Wickmayer’s return was a clean winner though! So Errani should feel lucky the ball was called out! She gets to replay a point she already lost!
The return was out
papillon lol return was out. Errani was right.
People like this made Serena lose against henin. Just because they don't want to see a black person win their tournament.
COUGH COUGH roland garros
+Calvin Kiggs Are you talking about the hand incident? That wasn't the umpire's fault, that was Justine's. The umpire was rightfully looking at Serena as she was about to serve so they did not see Justine's hand up, so they had to ask Justine who lied about it.
you are such a racist,,get a life
He said he made a mistake chick gosh lets just play some tennis already
The umpire helped her! The return was a winner and now she gets to replay the point.
Lol. The return was out. Don't be stupid.
George's vision is as good as this umpire's :p
Pause it as soon as he says fault. You'll see Errani stopping because she knows the return is a winner, the she gets surprised and says "no, no" way after the play s done.
No. She stops because she knows Wickmayer's return was out. The return is out, it's clear to see.
Max Nijssen Look good to me. I guess we'll never know. muahahaha!
