The game is this Tuesday Cincinnati Masters 1000 to the Americans Taylor Fritz and Brandon Nakashima left one of the most moments surreal of the tournament.
The seemingly favorite, Taylor Fritzstarted losing the first set match 4-6. Already in the second, with eagerness to return, the party starred in a funny mistake of electronic hawk eye which significantly hurt the number 12 in the world.
“Look how far out the ball is”started Fritz. “I understand. Anyway, they (the tennis players) “They didn’t stop the point and had another 6 or 7 hits.”replied the chair umpire Greg Allensworth. Later, the judge told him that he should drop the point, to which Fritz replied: “Wait, no, no, no. Don’t tell me I have to stop the point when we have an electronic hawk eye”American argument. “I know, but that’s how it works. You can drop the point and we can look into it later. “Now it’s too late so we have to repeat the point.”answered the chair umpire. In response, Fritz was annoyed: “So, Why didn’t you stop? You were in the seat, you saw that ball was like a foot out.”Taylor concluded. Greg Allensworth replied that “For me too, that ball is gone, but I can’t do that.”he concluded.
The world number 12’s complaints are futile as the point needs to be reiterated. Taylor Fritz will lose the match for 4-6, 6-4, 6-7(4) against number 49 in the world Brandon Nakashima.
Taylor Fritz also got angry on his social networks.
“Imagine telling me I have to stop at the point where we literally have an electronic hawk eye.”Fritz said laughing. “Side note: I don’t think it would have changed anything in the match considering I won the replayed point, so “Don’t take this as an excuse… I’m just pointing out a foolish decision.”he concluded.
Other tennis players like it Daniel Medvedev They also expressed their views. “Ridiculous decision… ball gone, point over, point for Fritz. How could this not be the result?”The Russian argued.
The truth is that it will bring a queue. We will see what decisions the ATP will make in the face of these errors that are becoming more frequent.
