It seems this little girl look is a thing with her.

Generally disappointing performance by the chair umpire in the women's finals, the men's also perhaps but the balls are flying faster there..the umpire is supposed to overrule only obvious mistakes by the line judges, she is not supposed to be a super-linejudge!

You think so? What happened in the women's final that you feel that way? I felt it was a smooth match, like almost all WTA matches and all matches not involving a certain finalist.

I really didn't notice anything out of the ordinary with the Ladies Final.

I've seen others in Tennis Twitter say the same thing but they never give specifics.ashkor87 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 2:45 pm Generally disappointing performance by the chair umpire in the women's finals, the men's also perhaps but the balls are flying faster there..the umpire is supposed to overrule only obvious mistakes by the line judges, she is not supposed to be a super-linejudge!

Re: ATP WTA Wimbledon GS 6/27/22 - 7/10/22
There were points where the linesman correctly called the shot in but the umpire called it out, and the line call was correct,as the Hawkeye shown on TV but not, evidently, to the umpire, showed. For instance, Jabeur hit a drop (expletive), which Rybakina reached and drove down the line with a hard slice..it was in, the linesman called it in, that is, made no call, but the umpire overruled. The commentators even wondered why R did not challenge, then they showed the Hawkeye, it was well on the line..

I saw it on Disney Hotstar OTT, not live, since I was away..possibly other people do not see the same feed.

I am sure you did not mean to write that Jabeur had hit a drop (expletive), unless the SHOT was of such poor quality you just coined a new tennis term.ashkor87 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 13, 2022 12:54 am There were points where the linesman correctly called the shot in but the umpire called it out, and the line call was correct,as the Hawkeye shown on TV but not, evidently, to the umpire, showed.

And I would truly, truly, truly approve of that concept

There was no drama because Rybakina did not make a fuss...just because the player accepts it...

For some players making drama just doesn't work for their game. Elena is probably one of those players. Serena is not one of those players. She loves the drama on the court. Of course on the men's side Nick Kyrgios thrives on the drama, but a guy like Brandon Nakashima doesn't seem so too much.

Rybakina has got to be the poster child for NON-DRAMA. She won WImbledon and it was as if she had won the BINGO at her local church.
Alize would have died of dehydration an hour later, because of the tears.
Rafa would have rolled so much on the grass that he would have dug himself in.
Nick would have French kissed Kate.
Elena? Nah, walk to the net and shake hands with Ons.
I can really, really, really become a fan.

And I was so enthusiastic about the new concept:
Drop (expletive): TENNIS. A peculiar stroke that attempts to leave the ball dead on the opponent's court, but of extremely poor execution and putridness.

Don't know if when Elena was younger she showed more emotion on the court and it just made her game worse so she just stopped doing it or it is just not in her personality. It just seems like she is so sweet.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 13, 2022 2:49 pm Rybakina has got to be the poster child for NON-DRAMA.
