Lmao at that umpire in the Rybakina match. "She hit the ball back" Rybakina: No she didn't. Umpire: "She did." Such an embarrassing admission that she wasn't even watching the ball.

100% spot-on...& the umpire was so damn pigheaded & self-righteous about her adamant stance that Sabalenka had returned that high quality serve, when she'd barely even reacted to it by the time it had passed her & hit the back wall...God only knows what the umpire was watching at the time but it certainly wasn't this match...
The umpire handled the Sabalenka-Rybakina situation terribly. She seems to think that replaying the point is a 'neutral call', which is not the case. If the umpire was unsure (which is bad enough anyway...), she can't admit to being unsure and then award the call in favour of Sabalenka. Rybakina should have been given the point, 100%. On another note, Tomljanovic calling out Ostapenko's bullshit was priceless.
If the ump can't remember what happened 100%, she has to call a replay. Did she get the call wrong? Absolutely, but without video replay, it's simply not possible for one human to remember and see everything that happens on the court. Tennis should use replay.
@@jt10s I do see your point, but replaying the point is not a neutral unbiased call. It favoured Sabalenka. Obviously the main issue is that the umpire should have remembered what happened, but there is no "safe decision" in replaying the point and her terrible decision had a huge impact on the match. I agree with you though - replays should be allowed in tennis. I'm always surprised by how frequently umpires appear to make mistakes with the outcome of hawkeye challenges.
Yeah unfortunately, if the umpire isn't sure, they pretty much have to replay the point. I completely agree that it's not a neutral call at all, but it's the most neutral call they can make, and it's the current rule. I can't imagine why tennis doesn't use replay reviews outside of Next Gen tournaments, but she had to make that decision. She maybe could have changed her mind after she clearly heard Sabalenka say that she didn't hit the ball back, but this is more of an issue with tennis' insanely vague and outdated ruleset than the umpire. As for the Ostapenki situation... what the fuck is going on with fucking @Einars? Ostapenko was very clearly lying about her abdominal pain. Like, obviously so. She didn't seem taken aback and didn't defend herself when Tomljanovic called her out for lying to the entire crowd, and she didn't exactly seem emphatic about her position during the handshake. @Einars appears to be a pretty big Ostapenko fan despite her being infamous for throwing her racket at a ball boy and being a total ass on the court constantly.

@savixa I disagree. Ostapenko is known for gamesmanship and has some of the worst behaviour on the women’s tour. I watched that game and there was zero sign of inhibited movement up to that point. If you stop playing mid service game, you better have something like a broken a leg. Not an injury that no one can can see. The women’s tour in particular has players doing this when someone is racing away with a set to disrupt their momentum.

So Rybakina was robbed in a match against Sabalenka last year, this year Sabalenka was not allowed to play at Wimbledon and Rybakina won the whole tournament 😃😁
First clip is the reason why we need to include replay videos in the rules, I know umps and linespersons don't like it because it shows how useless and fallible they can be, but anytime a supervisor is called on court they should be able to uncall an umpire's wrong decision based on the video. It's always entertaining to see drama for an imaginary foot fault or else but it's so frustrating for the player.
I agree. I don't get that stance by umpires. It doesn't have to show them up as fallible. If VAR were available, that woman in Rybakina's match could have gone straight to VAR without making a decision based on uncertainty. Supervisors are largely useless in these situations - I've only once seen a supervisor overturn a poor decision by an umpire (Hsieh-Cibulkova) at Wimbledon, but otherwise they're just happy to get things wrong.
the supervisor is useless because when he comes its for situation where the decision depends on the umpire appreciation. that's why umpire needs to be fined when they make bad calls, this way they'll start to be more serious
@@geyjibill1441 I couldn't agree more, my friend! The umpires certainly need to be held more accountable, just as any other professionals are during their employed role, from the pro' players themselves to any of us, in each of our respective chosen occupations...
I know Paire is one of the primary sources for these wonderful videos, but when you tank that hard and as often as he does, I think players like that should be booted from the tour. See how long they last without their prize money and fans feeding their egos.
I feel like some umpires should understand that they've got the right to admit they did wrong. The umpire in the clip just generated frustration towards the player by making obvious the fact she was wrong without admitting it. Repeating "she did hit the ball" with a lost look because she obviously knew she had no idea about how the point ended is really a pity. The worst is that she kept saying that the point should be replayed without explaining why. "I DID A MISTAKE!!" JUST SAY IT FOR GOD'S SAKE. Of course you've got the right to do some, you're even expected to do some mistakes. The less you do the better, but it's so embarassing to see grown adults who don't want to admit that they did wrong. A simple "excuse me" would have been absolutely perfect, and then if the player argues he'll understand he also does mistakes sometimes. Of course an umpire who does 100 mistakes in a match would be horrible, but come on admitting you did one isn't a big deal. It'll grant you respect, more than fleeing the situation.
She did admit her mistake. And anyway the point had to be repeated, because the only alternative is the player following instructions from one of the players, which is obviously not allowed. Sabalenka could have conceded an ace, but she didn't and the umpire couldn't grant Rybakina a point just because she says so.
@@rafarequeni822 She didn't, she started by saying something completely wrong because she tried to guess what happened since she obviously knew she wasn't properly looking at the ball lol. And at the even she keeps saying the point has to be replayed without clearly explaining that she did a mistake, which is even more embarassing because it's an obvious one. Of course when the umpire does a mistake like this the point has to be replayed, the problem is the way she tried to handle it, not the fact that the point should be replayed
@@wanbiis You have an admission of being wrong at 1:34, when she asks Sabalenka and Aryna confirms she didn't touch the ball. What kind of admission are you expecting? A full front-page on the New York Times, one of those hollow non-apologies Hollywood actors make when they are caught saying racist slurs? She admits probably being in the wrong, but then the discussion became about why she can't change the decision and grant an ace just because a player says so.
Honestly without video review (equivalent of the VAR in football), tennis looks like such a primitive sport now. Touted as the most prestigiou yet doesnt have basic video technology in the rules. This should be the last round of slams without it
I totally thought the same thing. It's really a joke seeing points wrongly decided that could easily be checked with a video. I sincerely hope officials see it the same way and will implement a system. Because it wouldnt be hard, they could use the normal tv footage or whatever
What the hell are you saying? Or how many months old are you? VAR is an invention less than 2 years old, and football refereeing has consistently been the worst and less reliable refereeing of all professional sports - to the point than whole TV shows have been dedicated to analyze and comment refereeing errors in football.
@@rafarequeni822 VAR is a great addition but when you have clowns like Anthony Taylor, Michael Oliver, Jonathan Moss or Martin Atkinson operating it of course your going to get inconsistent decisions
Ryba said "She just said she didn't touch the ball." Looks to me like Sabalenka admitted to Ryba that she didn't touch the ball, but umpire was too prideful to admit that she was wrong. It happens all so often. The umpire knows they're wrong but refuses to admit it.
Sabalenka did admit to not hitting the ball, but then proceeded to claim the call put her off, even though the serve was far too fast for her to reach, and she herself put her hand up to challenge after it went past! Crafty, but not surprising from her.
Mo Lahyani shouldn't have given a code violation to Paire. The guy is 5-0 30-0 down. The match would have been over in less than 30 seconds. All that drama was uneccsarry
Those people have paid a lot of money to watch the tennis. The least they can expect is the players to show some effort. Paire is notorious for his lack of trying, he's worse than Kyrgios, who at least tries flamboyant shots and wins matches. The umpire should have called it earlier in the set rather than leave it until the final game.
I know we all want VAR to finally be included in tennis, but think of all the decrease in these videos we will experience after it 😅 what will do with no drama
What an arrogant and so full of herself umpire that Petrarca:" The supervisor won't change my decision" "It's my decision just carry on" saying it with such a delight and in a superior way. An absolute jerk,hope she will be put aside and won't see her a long time.
"We don't have it in our sport to go back and check" wtf... We have the tech these days to make sport calls less prone to error but still don't implement these measures...
In first case, if Sabalenka was honest enough, she should drive herself to give the point to Rybakina. Unfortunately, Sabalenka just watched a show and said nothing!
She's not this kind, I'm not saying she's a cheater but she rarely challenge or say something during a match and we must say all this issue was really confusing.
Sabalenka should have spoken up. Showed some sportsmanship. She stayed quiet until Rybekena asked her and even then she didn't give a difinitive answer.
I came out of centre to get a drink, stumbled upon ostapenko-tomljanovic game on my return. You can see me @ 15.58 behind umpire chair drinking my beer thinking WTF is going on 😂 Never seen someone swear so much in 10s as Ostapenko after storming off 🤣
@Einars Dubrovskis so taking a medical timed while the other one is going to serve is correct....ffs wait on the change over like everyone else and after her mt she runs everyball like she was not even hurt like cmon.....
@Einars Dubrovskis what if she cant wait.... well they are rules for a reason and mt breaks the momentum of a game especially if ur the one going to serve and need to wait 5-10 minutes without playing sorry but thats pure bullsht why wait now and not before she serve like cmon use ur brain ur probably only an ostapenko fan....
@Einars Dubrovskis easy to say ur in pain after the match tho... imo she was faking like alot of player do when they call mt(startegy when they are losing to break the momentum). maybe she was not faking (which nobody can be 100% right) they are time to take the mt and she just sat there right away....like that is not how its work if ur a good sportsmanship u wait and let ur opponent serve thats it
Jelena is a massive drama queen, what she tried to do to Ajla was disgraceful. There are other ways of going about it than what Ajla did but she probably just panicked in the moment and got frustrated which is understandable. Jelena felt pain while serving throughout the match yet takes it when she’s about to receive lol and can still run anything down afterwards. Ajla beat her despite her trying to create an unfair playing field yet she still has the audacity to say she would have beaten her at 50%. If Jelena played at 50% Ajla would have beaten her in 2 lol.
@Einars Dubrovskis no you cant call a timeout for cramping.... go look up the rules. u just prove my point u know nothing about the rules of mt. thats why u support the bad behavior of ostapenko....
Disgusting Ostapenko. She is a poor character and lacks any sportsmanship. Just another example of tactical medical time out. They should not be allowed. If you are injured, don't play. If you get injured during the match, bad luck, try another time when you're fit. These situations happen way too often.
Schwartzman puts his heart and soul into every point. He could have a dagger in his back and would still chase down the ball. And then Paire is playing like a 12 year old kid who just wants to go home. A pro playing like that is an insult to his opponent and to the sport
My boss is like all umpires, plays sweet for a bit, and then gets condescending the minute anything gets challenged. Like they're inconvenienced by their chosen responsibilities.
Notice how Sabalenka admits that she didn't hit the ball (or even come near it), but then proceeds to claim the challenge call put her off her shot, despite the fact she was never going to reach the serve and even put her own hand up to challenge. There's no way the call put her off, you have to react almost as soon as the server strikes the ball on a first serve like that to have a chance of reaching it. The call came after the ball landed. Pure crafty gamesmanship from Sabalenka again.
@@NamesAreRandom it’s much easier to decide if the rules are followed correctly if you know what happened. It’s something so obvious that is stupid having to explain it.
Have you ever showed the match between Rosset and Tarango in Wimbledon? Where Tarango accused the umpire of being corrupt and left the court? An old one, but a good one.
Its so true players get fined all the time but do the umpires? The rules always change to benefit the umpire like the fake Ostapenko never seen that in my life of watching tennis
The first clip demonstrates why I hate modern day officials in sports...even when proven wrong they don't want to correct themselves...its a serious joke 🤣
All that I can say after seeing that ace stolen from Rybakina is at least we all get to see what Sabalenka's really like & I really hope that this umpire was grilled by her superiors afterward for this shithouse effort of hers...it's one thing to be unsure whether a call came before the player received serve & might've distracted them but this dumbarse umpire was 100% convinced that Sabalenka not only got to the ball but she returned it as well...WTF?!?!
Ive always complained that I dislike football for ridiculous rules. Damn Tennis is worse on rules. You damage "your own racket" and your recieve warnings, violations and loss of points.
I hope one day tennis calls will be 100% eletronic with eagle eye and they also implement a review system for all chair umpires to settle any confusion.
Been watching tennis for 18 years. A supervisor is the most useless and pointless thing. Glad they're slowly getting rid of line judges with the new way of playing. Really seems line judges have made shaky calls over the years just to add their 2 cents and look important.
wow that first clip.. it was even worse than it first looks and if i had been in Rybakinas place, i'd had insisted on the supervisor. Not because of the point, but the umpire was not only wrong, but straight lied to Rybakinas face multiple times by stating that Sabalenka has hit the ball back, multiple times. So she said she saw her hitting the ball even though that never happened. And when Sabalenka was at least somewhat admitting she didnt hit it back the umpire got exposed and suddenly tried to backup her wrong call with some more BS arguments, making the situation worse than it already was. There must have been no foundation of trust anymore at this point between player and umpire.
how can you call yourself a competitor when you can't even hold it together for the first round of a tournament? dude needs therapy more than hitting winners.
Actually I feel bad for Paire, he can really have pains and injuries that block him from playing good. Remember he said in one match that he ate so many pain-blockers that do not help and the pain is even worse Injuries and other illnesses plagued his career. Poor Benny, I feel empathy for you, do not give up. I remember Kateryna B. in one match complainted to her coach "My legs, my back hurt. I cannot play" but she stood up and go for serve bearing all that pains.
You can clearly see he's tanking and if you follow him then you know that he's always like that. He doesn't give a fuck half the time and the moment he starts losing he has a meltdown, throws a tantrum and gives up
I can't tell if you're being serious or not. Paire is such a bad example to young people who want to play tennis. Throwing your toys out of the pram and not even trying to play shots just because you're losing is a terrible attitude, especially when families pay big money to watch them. Where do they think their prize money comes from?
Tennis has lost all control on medical time-outs. All players just do what they want. They should have stricter or more clear rules on this. If you are injured to the point where you can't continue playing without disrupting the game, maybe you should just pull out of the match. I think these medical time-outs are very unfair to players who are not willing to use them in an unfair, dishonest manner, like Ostepenko did.
Some umpires are just a disgrace to the sport, really... Worst thing about this sport is we don't know if umpires/referees are held accountable for making wrong decisions/calls. Some players' livelihood are on the line. Replays for every aspect of the game should be made available and public. Umpires should have scorecards that reflect their good/bad calls

First clip is the reason why we need to include replay videos in the rules, I know umps and linespersons don't like it because it shows how useless and fallible they can be, but anytime a supervisor is called on court they should be able to uncall an umpire's wrong decision based on the video. It's always entertaining to see drama for an imaginary foot fault or else but it's so frustrating for the player.
I agree. I don't get that stance by umpires. It doesn't have to show them up as fallible. If VAR were available, that woman in Rybakina's match could have gone straight to VAR without making a decision based on uncertainty. Supervisors are largely useless in these situations - I've only once seen a supervisor overturn a poor decision by an umpire (Hsieh-Cibulkova) at Wimbledon, but otherwise they're just happy to get things wrong.
The referee in Rybakina’s match should be suspended. Anyone can make a mistake but her arrogance is over the top
Yeah, spoke down to her
She looks like she is on painkillers.
It always appears that the job of a match supervisor is to play stupid and back the umpire... 🤷♂️
And hé admited- I didnt see a situation. Well you are payed to see thé situations you clown.
@@dominices8917 true AND Alja asked a rule question which he could answer without knowing the situation. So happy she won that match
the supervisor is useless because when he comes its for situation where the decision depends on the umpire appreciation. that's why umpire needs to be fined when they make bad calls, this way they'll start to be more serious
@@geyjibill1441 I couldn't agree more, my friend! The umpires certainly need to be held more accountable, just as any other professionals are during their employed role, from the pro' players themselves to any of us, in each of our respective chosen occupations...
Lmao ostapenko, she is quiet as she can be when tomljanovic called her a liar the first time and then got mad because she lost the game
I know Paire is one of the primary sources for these wonderful videos, but when you tank that hard and as often as he does, I think players like that should be booted from the tour. See how long they last without their prize money and fans feeding their egos.
Paire is the goat of meltdowns
Paire is back now tho
I agree, he and kyrios should be booted off everytime they have those loser meltdowns.
ridiculous.
They diserve to be there just by playing tennis.
You R free to say, they are free to act.
I learnt to never put your money on Paire, no matter how good he plays 😆😂😂
Supervisor: I dont event watch Tennis.. I just arrive now in this city.
I feel like some umpires should understand that they've got the right to admit they did wrong. The umpire in the clip just generated frustration towards the player by making obvious the fact she was wrong without admitting it. Repeating "she did hit the ball" with a lost look because she obviously knew she had no idea about how the point ended is really a pity. The worst is that she kept saying that the point should be replayed without explaining why. "I DID A MISTAKE!!" JUST SAY IT FOR GOD'S SAKE. Of course you've got the right to do some, you're even expected to do some mistakes. The less you do the better, but it's so embarassing to see grown adults who don't want to admit that they did wrong. A simple "excuse me" would have been absolutely perfect, and then if the player argues he'll understand he also does mistakes sometimes. Of course an umpire who does 100 mistakes in a match would be horrible, but come on admitting you did one isn't a big deal. It'll grant you respect, more than fleeing the situation.
She did admit her mistake. And anyway the point had to be repeated, because the only alternative is the player following instructions from one of the players, which is obviously not allowed. Sabalenka could have conceded an ace, but she didn't and the umpire couldn't grant Rybakina a point just because she says so.
@@rafarequeni822 She didn't, she started by saying something completely wrong because she tried to guess what happened since she obviously knew she wasn't properly looking at the ball lol. And at the even she keeps saying the point has to be replayed without clearly explaining that she did a mistake, which is even more embarassing because it's an obvious one. Of course when the umpire does a mistake like this the point has to be replayed, the problem is the way she tried to handle it, not the fact that the point should be replayed
@@rafarequeni822 lol she did not admit anything. Did you even watch the video?
@@wanbiis You have an admission of being wrong at 1:34, when she asks Sabalenka and Aryna confirms she didn't touch the ball. What kind of admission are you expecting? A full front-page on the New York Times, one of those hollow non-apologies Hollywood actors make when they are caught saying racist slurs? She admits probably being in the wrong, but then the discussion became about why she can't change the decision and grant an ace just because a player says so.
@@rafarequeni822 That was no admission when the ump says "I'm not sure" afterwards.
Glad that Ostapenko lose. Ajla wasn't having none of her theatrics 😂
Honestly without video review (equivalent of the VAR in football), tennis looks like such a primitive sport now. Touted as the most prestigiou yet doesnt have basic video technology in the rules. This should be the last round of slams without it
I totally thought the same thing. It's really a joke seeing points wrongly decided that could easily be checked with a video. I sincerely hope officials see it the same way and will implement a system. Because it wouldnt be hard, they could use the normal tv footage or whatever
What the hell are you saying? Or how many months old are you? VAR is an invention less than 2 years old, and football refereeing has consistently been the worst and less reliable refereeing of all professional sports - to the point than whole TV shows have been dedicated to analyze and comment refereeing errors in football.
Oddly enough they invented an algorithm to make imperceptibly correct calls yet can’t review one of the dozen Tv cameras on court
@@rafarequeni822 VAR is a great addition but when you have clowns like Anthony Taylor, Michael Oliver, Jonathan Moss or Martin Atkinson operating it of course your going to get inconsistent decisions
But how would you rig results otherwise?
Ryba said "She just said she didn't touch the ball." Looks to me like Sabalenka admitted to Ryba that she didn't touch the ball, but umpire was too prideful to admit that she was wrong. It happens all so often. The umpire knows they're wrong but refuses to admit it.
Sabalenka did admit to not hitting the ball, but then proceeded to claim the call put her off, even though the serve was far too fast for her to reach, and she herself put her hand up to challenge after it went past! Crafty, but not surprising from her.
Mo Lahyani shouldn't have given a code violation to Paire. The guy is 5-0 30-0 down. The match would have been over in less than 30 seconds. All that drama was uneccsarry
true
Paire being Paire basically
Those people have paid a lot of money to watch the tennis. The least they can expect is the players to show some effort. Paire is notorious for his lack of trying, he's worse than Kyrgios, who at least tries flamboyant shots and wins matches. The umpire should have called it earlier in the set rather than leave it until the final game.
@@alancosta4760he's an absolute tool.
I know we all want VAR to finally be included in tennis, but think of all the decrease in these videos we will experience after it 😅 what will do with no drama
You’re right. These videos are literally the only tennis I watch. I can’t do with them.
No trust me VAR doesn’t decrease drama
What an arrogant and so full of herself umpire that Petrarca:" The supervisor won't change my decision" "It's my decision just carry on" saying it with such a delight and in a superior way. An absolute jerk,hope she will be put aside and won't see her a long time.
Been waiting for Jelena-Alja to show up on this channel since the match ended. 😂
What's the rule? It's legitimately disabled if that type of decision is left up to the umpires discretion, as it would never be consistent.
If you ever feel useless in life, just know that there's a supervisor on a tennis court.
All that bs and Ostapenko still loses. Gotta love how salty she is in the end trying to justify her sleezy plays 🤣
"We don't have it in our sport to go back and check" wtf... We have the tech these days to make sport calls less prone to error but still don't implement these measures...
In first case, if Sabalenka was honest enough, she should drive herself to give the point to Rybakina. Unfortunately, Sabalenka just watched a show and said nothing!
She's not this kind, I'm not saying she's a cheater but she rarely challenge or say something during a match and we must say all this issue was really confusing.
Sabalenka did another awful behavior to Su wei Hsieh in Birmingham 2019.
@@alancosta4760 What is so confusing about reciveing the ace? Stop justifying her phony ass
The chair umpire in the "Rybakina" match made such a huge mistake. Even Sabalenka admitted that she didn't hit it back or even touch.
Lmao Tsitsipas cant play a match wothout a coaching daddy🤣
The ball hit the wall so loud the umpire's brain forget everything
Sabalenka should have spoken up. Showed some sportsmanship. She stayed quiet until Rybekena asked her and even then she didn't give a difinitive answer.
I came out of centre to get a drink, stumbled upon ostapenko-tomljanovic game on my return. You can see me @ 15.58 behind umpire chair drinking my beer thinking WTF is going on 😂 Never seen someone swear so much in 10s as Ostapenko after storming off 🤣
ostapenko is the biggest drama queen i have ever see......
@Einars Dubrovskis so taking a medical timed while the other one is going to serve is correct....ffs wait on the change over like everyone else and after her mt she runs everyball like she was not even hurt like cmon.....
@Einars Dubrovskis what if she cant wait....
well they are rules for a reason and mt breaks the momentum of a game especially if ur the one going to serve and need to wait 5-10 minutes without playing sorry but thats pure bullsht why wait now and not before she serve like cmon use ur brain ur probably only an ostapenko fan....
@Einars Dubrovskis easy to say ur in pain after the match tho...
imo she was faking like alot of player do when they call mt(startegy when they are losing to break the momentum).
maybe she was not faking (which nobody can be 100% right) they are time to take the mt and she just sat there right away....like that is not how its work if ur a good sportsmanship u wait and let ur opponent serve thats it
Jelena is a massive drama queen, what she tried to do to Ajla was disgraceful. There are other ways of going about it than what Ajla did but she probably just panicked in the moment and got frustrated which is understandable. Jelena felt pain while serving throughout the match yet takes it when she’s about to receive lol and can still run anything down afterwards. Ajla beat her despite her trying to create an unfair playing field yet she still has the audacity to say she would have beaten her at 50%. If Jelena played at 50% Ajla would have beaten her in 2 lol.
@Einars Dubrovskis no you cant call a timeout for cramping.... go look up the rules.
u just prove my point u know nothing about the rules of mt.
thats why u support the bad behavior of ostapenko....
That one time Putintseva doesnt show up😂
Rest assured she was busy clogging the players lounge toilet with a giant log
But her 'best friend' Ostapenko was!
Disgusting Ostapenko. She is a poor character and lacks any sportsmanship.
Just another example of tactical medical time out.
They should not be allowed. If you are injured, don't play. If you get injured during the match, bad luck, try another time when you're fit.
These situations happen way too often.
Deal with it
@@mublikbublik7911 Not a good argument
I would love to know in witch universe a physio can fix an acute injury in 10 minutes...
Umpire at rybakina match must to fined and suspend at least 1 year
I think she did at least of WTA, she's still umpiring ATP's matches
That umpire in the first clip has made many many horrible calls like that. How is she still allowed to be an umpire?
Schwartzman puts his heart and soul into every point. He could have a dagger in his back and would still chase down the ball. And then Paire is playing like a 12 year old kid who just wants to go home. A pro playing like that is an insult to his opponent and to the sport
LOL Benoit lost, all is clear ^^^
@Martín Jaimes about Paire ... In France we consider that like sole kind of poetry like gasquet or.... Monfils 😄😄😄😄
He is just free, like you and I. The opponent won... No problemo.
I look forward to these more than any other fictional series on Netflix or movie hahaha! Thanks for the upload as always ☺️🙏
🙏💚
My boss is like all umpires, plays sweet for a bit, and then gets condescending the minute anything gets challenged. Like they're inconvenienced by their chosen responsibilities.
Let’s not forget the utterly worthless Supervisor in the Rybalinka match. Definition of impotence
Notice how Sabalenka admits that she didn't hit the ball (or even come near it), but then proceeds to claim the challenge call put her off her shot, despite the fact she was never going to reach the serve and even put her own hand up to challenge. There's no way the call put her off, you have to react almost as soon as the server strikes the ball on a first serve like that to have a chance of reaching it. The call came after the ball landed. Pure crafty gamesmanship from Sabalenka again.
How can a supervisor say that he didn’t watch the situation? It’s your damn job!
It's not. His job is to check the official rules are followed correctly. He is not a video referee.
@@NamesAreRandom it’s much easier to decide if the rules are followed correctly if you know what happened. It’s something so obvious that is stupid having to explain it.
I love how there's a rule for abusing the racket lol
Pay day for anyone who draws Paire in the first round.
Shapovalov in Cincy took this too seriously lol
A cool $65k for 90 mins work. Not bad!
Can always bet your life, Paire and Ostapenko will make their way into these vidoes
Acute abdominal pain, proceeds to play with no signs of it and carry her 20lbs bag with no issues
The wrong umpire to Rybakina : “it won’t help to argue”
In what world are we living in?...
How many forehand I put in the net in the first two set.
Rybakina oh God.
Umpires and line judges are so terribly incompetent sometimes.
Sabalenka where is fair Play?
In women you not even imagine how much bad
Have you ever showed the match between Rosset and Tarango in Wimbledon? Where Tarango accused the umpire of being corrupt and left the court?
An old one, but a good one.
I remember that!
These bloody umpires needs to be fired or penalized for each mistake they make.
Its so true players get fined all the time but do the umpires? The rules always change to benefit the umpire like the fake Ostapenko never seen that in my life of watching tennis
The first clip demonstrates why I hate modern day officials in sports...even when proven wrong they don't want to correct themselves...its a serious joke 🤣
That first umpire was absolutely ridiculous.
I can't stop watching these videos :)
This is excellent editing! With match winner PIP. Well done. Oh tennis drama! Lolz.
Thank you for your work.
🙏💚
Having it written down what was said is amazing! Whoever wrote it all down deserves a job of the blowing kind from a supermodel.
Nick should have been disqualified outright for that language in the doubles. Totally unacceptable and unprofessional conduct.
How embarassing for the chair umpire she really does stole the point from Elena
Always the worst hypocrites who are calling for respect after they gave none. Shameful from Ostapenko, as usual
After seeing this video.
John Macnroe be like - I used to behave like this when I was just a little Kid......
this one was great, so many confusing calls, tennis is so weird lol
It should have a self report prices like golf. If you are caught cheating and not admitting you are penalized severely
Dude got a warning for sending the ball to the net. That umpire would have expelled me forever from tennis in the first three games.
Lol
All that I can say after seeing that ace stolen from Rybakina is at least we all get to see what Sabalenka's really like & I really hope that this umpire was grilled by her superiors afterward for this shithouse effort of hers...it's one thing to be unsure whether a call came before the player received serve & might've distracted them but this dumbarse umpire was 100% convinced that Sabalenka not only got to the ball but she returned it as well...WTF?!?!
Ive always complained that I dislike football for ridiculous rules. Damn Tennis is worse on rules. You damage "your own racket" and your recieve warnings, violations and loss of points.
That fysio of ostapenko is some miracle doctor
I hope one day tennis calls will be 100% eletronic with eagle eye and they also implement a review system for all chair umpires to settle any confusion.
15:32 I wanted her to start rolling on the ground yelling “My abdominal! My abdominal!”
Bloody hell she destroyed that chair!!😂
I think medical timeouts not used during a changeover should get a point penalty on the next game.too many people faking injury
Paire is my fav by far in this matter 4:04
Brilliant guy.
Lol Sabalenka really said “Did I got the ball back?”
Been watching tennis for 18 years. A supervisor is the most useless and pointless thing.
Glad they're slowly getting rid of line judges with the new way of playing. Really seems line judges have made shaky calls over the years just to add their 2 cents and look important.
wow that first clip.. it was even worse than it first looks and if i had been in Rybakinas place, i'd had insisted on the supervisor. Not because of the point, but the umpire was not only wrong, but straight lied to Rybakinas face multiple times by stating that Sabalenka has hit the ball back, multiple times. So she said she saw her hitting the ball even though that never happened. And when Sabalenka was at least somewhat admitting she didnt hit it back the umpire got exposed and suddenly tried to backup her wrong call with some more BS arguments, making the situation worse than it already was. There must have been no foundation of trust anymore at this point between player and umpire.
this channel is gold, too bad that 80% of your videos gets removed
🙏💚
😔It's unfortunate, but it happens to most, if not, to all the other tennis youtube channels as well.
Rybakina is so right!! love her
how can you call yourself a competitor when you can't even hold it together for the first round of a tournament? dude needs therapy more than hitting winners.
How long do you think it’ll take for them to just have a video replay challenge for cases like the first clip
Too long. Already way too long. Poor Elena - terrible from the umpire.
Actually I feel bad for Paire, he can really have pains and injuries that block him from playing good.
Remember he said in one match that he ate so many pain-blockers that do not help and the pain is even worse
Injuries and other illnesses plagued his career.
Poor Benny, I feel empathy for you, do not give up.
I remember Kateryna B. in one match complainted to her coach "My legs, my back hurt. I cannot play" but she stood up and go for serve bearing all that pains.
You can clearly see he's tanking and if you follow him then you know that he's always like that. He doesn't give a fuck half the time and the moment he starts losing he has a meltdown, throws a tantrum and gives up
I can't tell if you're being serious or not. Paire is such a bad example to young people who want to play tennis. Throwing your toys out of the pram and not even trying to play shots just because you're losing is a terrible attitude, especially when families pay big money to watch them. Where do they think their prize money comes from?
7:20 - I didn't see any coaching. Maybe it happened off screen? Idk
Lol never thought Rybakina would argue on a tennis court like this. She seems such a quiet and sorted girl.😎
I just strted rlly getting in to tennis and i love it
Goodness gracious! 12 15-seconds unskippable ads in a 16 minute video? What is TH-cam turning into?
Fast food : wheres the manager?
Tennis court: wheres the supervisor?
The players are right in almost every situation - Wimbledon needs better umpires and Tennis needs better rules and tech
Please, do a close up (not too close) of the tennis doubles games.
Tennis has lost all control on medical time-outs. All players just do what they want. They should have stricter or more clear rules on this. If you are injured to the point where you can't continue playing without disrupting the game, maybe you should just pull out of the match. I think these medical time-outs are very unfair to players who are not willing to use them in an unfair, dishonest manner, like Ostepenko did.
Some umpires are just a disgrace to the sport, really...
Worst thing about this sport is we don't know if umpires/referees are held accountable for making wrong decisions/calls. Some players' livelihood are on the line. Replays for every aspect of the game should be made available and public. Umpires should have scorecards that reflect their good/bad calls
How can this channel only have 30k subscribers?
The chair umpire of the first clip clearly didn't know what good return in tennnis even look like.
