Chapter 1919: Moment to catch the horse

Latest URL: "Hawkeye Challenge, right sideline."

"Original penalty: inbounds."

Esdrachi respected Djokovic's choice and his voice came out smoothly from the microphone. The atmosphere of the first set, which was heating up, became obviously restless. The fans and melon-eaters at Arthur Ashe Stadium One or two of them could no longer hold back their emotions and began to boo.

"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa."

The applause rang out, getting faster and more intensive, and you could feel the frenzy of rapid heartbeats without even shouting or whistling.

The whole audience’s eyes were focused—

This point is crucial. It is either "30:30" or "15:40", which are completely different things. It may even become the turning point of the first set.

Thinking about it this way, Esdrachi's change of judgment did require huge pressure and risks. It's no wonder that Djokovic became angry immediately.

The smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air quietly.

Amid the raging heat wave in the entire venue, the results of the Eagle Eye challenge appeared on the big screen. Thousands of eyes followed the computer-simulated tennis flight path, moving, surging, and burning, and finally evolved into a wave of fanaticism and excitement. The roars and cheers were unleashed in a mighty way.

—Inside.

Gao Wen's return ball pressed the line. Although it was not much, it did press a quarter of the ball and was undoubtedly within bounds.

Arthur Ashe Stadium just went crazy.

Esdrachi, however, did not have any mood swings. He remained calm and collected, "15:40."

She has gone straight to the score.

Djokovic paused, then turned to look at Esdrachi again, "Shouldn't we hit again?"

Catching the horse is not over yet.

In tennis matches, misjudgment is an objective and unavoidable aspect. When a misjudgment occurs, the solutions are different.

Taking the situation at hand as an example, Gao Wen's inbound ball was mistakenly judged as out of bounds but then changed to in bounds by the referee, so there will be two results:

First, Djokovic touched the ball before the linesman called out of bounds, which also meant that the normal round was interrupted and the point should be replayed.

Second, no matter how the referee calls, Djokovic can no longer touch the ball, so the point is over, and the score is determined based on the in-bounds and out-bounds.

In other words, the referee determined that Djokovic could no longer touch the ball, regardless of the linesman's decision, so the point ended. If it was out of bounds, it would be Djokovic's score. If it was in bounds, it would be Gawain's score. Eye challenge has shown results.

Djokovic thought he could touch the ball, but he stopped running only because the linesman called out of bounds. He missed the opportunity to touch the ball. This round was interfered by external factors. Now that the Hawkeye challenge is confirmed to be in bounds, they will Should be replayed.

Controversies like this are indeed a part of tennis, so players who have been on the tour for many years tend to pay more attention -

Even if the return ball is called out of bounds, you still need to catch up with your steps. Even if you cannot touch the ball, you still need to be close to the landing point of the tennis ball. With such an action, you can express, "If the ball is not called out of bounds, then you can definitely complete the return ball." .

At the same time, the opposing players also have different opinions on this situation. Suppose Djokovic just successfully touched the ball, but the tennis ball was knocked into the spectator stands. In other words, Djokovic can think that he can complete it smoothly without the influence of the referee. Hit the ball, but Gauvin can think that regardless of whether there is a referee affecting Djokovic's return, it will not be able to return to the court.

Once such a situation occurs, the discretion is in the hands of the referee:

Hit again? At the end of this point, who will be awarded this point?

There is no unified set of indicators for specific analysis of specific situations.

Right before our eyes, controversy arises—

Djokovic believed that the point should be replayed, but Esdrachi believed that Djokovic was unable to complete the shot before the linesman called.

"No, this point..."

"Novak, you are too far away from returning the ball..."

"I stopped running because the linesman called for warning. Are you questioning my ability?"

"You can no longer hit the ball smoothly..."

You come and go, and we collide head-on. However, we don't give in an inch.

No one expected that the first dramatic scene in the final would actually come from the collision between Djokovic and Esdrachi.

The commentator immediately awakened the memory of the 2011 US Open women's singles final.

In the final set of the "Serena Williams VS Stosur" match, Serena Williams celebrated her score when the tennis ball was about to go out of bounds but before it could land. As a result, she was warned by Esdrachi -

really.

The rules of tennis clearly stipulate that before the tennis ball is dead, no one is allowed to touch the net, no one is allowed to intentionally interfere with the opponent, and no one is allowed to make any noise to interfere with the referee's decision.

If the above situation occurs, the referee must give a warning, and if it occurs multiple times, a penalty point may be imposed.

As a result, Williams lost the serve and lost the final, and Stosur won the only Grand Slam singles title in his career.

From here we can see Esdrachi's law enforcement style.

Buzz.

Buzz buzz.

The dispute between Djokovic and Esdrachi lasted for a short while, and Arthur Ashe Stadium finally began to get impatient after waiting and waiting.

Booing all around—

Target Djokovic.

For the audience, they just want the game to continue. No matter what the reason is for a long interruption, this is what they don't want to see.

Shh! Porphyrin! oh!

All kinds of noises filled the entire stadium, and the exciting game was suddenly paused. The scene felt like a circus.

And what about Gawain?

Standing in the shadow in front of the advertising board, wiping sweat.

In Gao Wen's view, Djokovic's protest has two meanings.

The first level is indeed protesting. He needs to make his position clear. Even if it is not for this point, he also needs to determine his attitude for the subsequent games.

The first level is the burning atmosphere brought about by the increased intensity of confrontation, not only the score, but also the trend of this game. He needs to vent his emotions and adjust his state at the same time.

No matter what, Gawain needs to stay focused and not be affected by such an episode. Once his attention wanders, Djokovic can regain the upper hand—

Gao Wen did not forget that in the first set, he was the lagging side.

Then.

Djokovic turned away from the referee's chair and returned to the baseline.

"Oh oh oh oh!"

Applause and whistles rang out as the crowd welcomed Djokovic back into the game.

But Esdrachi still did not change his penalty.

"15:40".

Djokovic needs to face two consecutive break points.

Djokovic has regained his composure, stood on the baseline and started shooting the ball.

Gawain, no chance.

ACE.

"30:40".

Djokovic fired his first ACE of the match to save a break point.

Then, expressionless and calm, he continued towards the second area.

The burning murderous aura and fighting spirit in his eyes burst out with astonishing energy, like a killer who must accomplish his mission.
