The 2023 edition of Roland Garros is very busy. The usual surprises are accompanied by moments of intense tension starring tennis players, such as Daniil Medvedev or Novak Djokovic.
We experienced the last case this Saturday with Yoshihito Nishioka. At 5-5 and 30-30 in the second set, the Japanese angrily protested a ball he considered beautiful.
The chair umpire came down to check the boat and kept his initial decision to call it ‘out’, which caused a noticeable short circuit to the Japanese tennis player, who crossed the court, next to himself, to rebuke the referee. “This is bullshit, bullshit… show me the video!, show me the video!“, he shouted in front of the fearless attitude of the judge, who after returning to the chair delivered his verdict to everyone.

And it was that The action cost Nishioka the game, as the ball was 30-40 and the act of crossing to the other side of the track was penalized by one point. So 6-5 for his rival, a Thiago Seyboth Wild who has already experienced similar moments in his duel against Daniil Medvedev.
Despite dramatically crossing the wires, the Japanese were able to regroup and regain the break in the following game to take the set in a tiebreaker, put the score at 1-1 (3-6, 7-6).
