She is still challenging too late.

Yeah... It's not football.

Yeah this umpire is one of my favourites. She is from China and can pronounce European names correctly.

Hahahahaha, her name is Zhang Juan

Pl l on

YOU LOVE THE WRONG THING THEN. THE BEST UMPIRES CAN VERBALIZE AND WIN WITH THAT. A BLANK LOOK IS EASY AND DUMB. ANYONE CAN DO THAT. AND IT RARELY LEADS TO CONFLICT RESOLUTION.

A Andy Rodrick did it in years back and end up lost his semifinal 🤣😂😂 I am still laughing and still feeling sorry for him even this day🤣😔

@Jordan-Marie Sunshine Who was that against, and what year?

Williams and her ugly butt will eat your kid before thinking of sportsmanship

😆 In a eutopic world. How much do they pay these people?

+Prudence Halliwell LOL That would be a treat.

+Prudence Halliwell Cornet v Strycova are by far the craziest on tour currently. Love em both

LOL

CAT BITCH FIGHT!! lol

Won & won beautifully

Agreed

If a linesman calls a very close ball in when it's just out, that's not a bad call. If he calls it out when it's just barely in, that IS a bad call, because you are suppose to give the benefit of the doubt to the player who hit the ball. So all of these calls were bad calls, since each was an IN ball called OUT. Remember, there were no electronic calls until 2005, so bad calls happened all the time, and intimidating linesmen was part of the game.

I agree. Luckily Cornet ended up winning. I'm a huge fan of hers. Lol

Challenging is only auxiliary. Make the right calls or we have to challenge every bloody times.

@Craig Stevenson I searched. she doesn't. cheers for nothing buddy

Should learn not to waste her challenges then she wouldn't have suffered!

lsbrother How could she have possibly known the judges would turn blind by the end of the match? Not her fault.

You're absolutely right -- and yet, that's what I find appealing about sports. Human umpires/referees make mistakes. But they're usually damn good. And the sport kind of lives off of that.

Couldnt agree more

Goddamn lasers shooting forth from the top of the stadium, cutting Nadal's racquet in half

We have hawkeye?

GuessMyName u dont have any idea about instrumentation electronics. If a sensor is needed to be done in that way, it is way more complicated than you can even imagine. Afterall a sensor is a sensor, it dont have brain. You cant just simply tell the sensor or type in the algorithms to identify how different a ball impact the ground than that of foot steps and a lot more. Even this hawkeye is not absolutely right all the time. Sometimes hawkeye can have a huge deflated values as well

sundance kidd 😂😂😂

and the umpire was allowing it everytime cos Barbora was being a bitch to her

@Ras de la Roche the challenges were warranted

The Ultimate troll indeed

@Jax Jet Yes, real bitch!

She is the bitchiest whiner that ever set a foot on a tennis court. So if she ever got robbed, it is not a hundredth of the karma return she deserves

yes, and I enjoyed every second if it......hahahahaha

Robbed? Yes, but save your challenges for the important points

31lafouine Wozniacki is the biggest bitch and whiner on court.

why was she upset when the umpire was working in her favor every time lol. These balls were just bad and Venus saw them

Yeah, it gets worse when you hear her attacking Sharapova. It's like come on, when you are one of the greatest competitors the sport has ever seen, have millions of fans around the world, and have won the Career Grand Slam and an Olympic Medal, then come talk to me about your complaints about other players.

Coz she's drama queen

Whiniacki

@私の名前は。 Actually, she isn't. Assuming you are talking about her looks, she is OK, but super plain and boring. So many other girls on the tour are way hotter.

No, Wozniaki barely has any. 90% of all women's tour drama is Serena.

Then they would be used to gain some rest between points rather than as a realistic challenge. They already get used for that purpose sometimes.

Well I agree unlimited challenges could be annoying as shown some times the line judges miss calls so much that there should be unlimited I rather see the right calls the someone lose because the calls are wrong.

so you like to waste 8-10 hours watching a tennis match?

@christian Williams Yeah so let losers win instead.

@christian Williams Actually, it was that very match that is what prompted the whole challenge system in the first place.

finally someone who understands the actual rules unline mrreciprocat below u...

asava17 your an idiot too

+Srinivas duvvuri Yeah, but the point is that the line calls were so horrendous that Venus shouldn't have had to challenge anyway. Those calls should never have been made. Frankly, the line judges and umpire in that match should all have had to go through further training after that match.

The first challenge, Venus got the attention of the umpire. She was in conversation with the umpire. She's within her right to challenge there. Players have been doing that since the system was introduced. The second point, the point is stopped because Venus hit the ball out. So she could challenge there, because the point has been stopped. No other shot was played. Had Barbora hit another shot and Venus hit that one back, she would not be able to challenge. On the third one, Venus was looking at the mark once she returned the ball and, again, the point was dead. No other shot was played. She's allowed to challenge. People look at the marks on the court before challenging all the time. AND Venus interrupted the score being called, meaning that Asderaki wasn't paying attention either and Venus had to get her to look in her direction. Why should she be denied a challenge if the umpire was looking the other way?

Nope, best to play the point in case it was in, silly. If you miss the opportunity to hit it, how can you get it back?

patotorrat *Cirstea

For Roumanians italian and spanish languages come easy.

@RonnyDonny13 it's harded, that's why learning italian or spanish is easier for romanians, there are less rules and similar vocabulary

@@bogdanescu86 even she studied. Romanians may understand spanish, but she was speakin fluently... In an angry moment

Daniel Estevez well maybe she learned it in school or so? As we learn English

but Venus was contesting BEFORE! besides what she's saying is it doesn't matter if the ball is out i still want the points..

Paulie Jay I didn't know women could fart. Always something to learn

Women, i thought they live on morning dew not to memtion farting. At least until I married.

Billy Noyes cause they normally never really challenge

It ain't late if it's legal

+Leo Light But she was correct every time, so you think Venus should've wrongfully lost those points because she took 2 extra seconds to say "challenge"?

The rule stipulates that players are supposed to challenge immediately. But most of them don't. It's an old story. Umpires should be way stricter on enforcing the hawk-eye rule.

Well I suppose if we're going to get to the root of the problem, then the linespeople should do their jobs better so they don't make so many mistakes

on the first one, venus hits the ball looks down at the mark then challlenges! its not late and these things sometimes take more than 1 second!!! get over it. Sometimes one can clearly see it out but one is concentrating on hitting the ball cleanly. just fuck off! i'm not a williams fan either but i hate stupidity!

she challenged after she missed her ball after playing it, rules state if you play an out ball then its in play... if u really think its out DON'T play it

couldn't agree more

She deserves it... can't play tennis

What do you mean poor Barbora? The only reason she was in the position to complain about those challenges was because there were several wrong calls that benefited her. I always do think it's comical when players complain about a "late" challenge (especially one that comes after a shot that kills the point) because to them they'd rather win the match by having a bad call go their way then to have the true result revealed.

She sucks so she complains.

That lies with the discretion of the umpire. Anyway, Venus' challenges were correct.

@@iamshadowbanned699 it doesn't matter if it was correct or not because the calls were far too late. I would understand if it was 1 or maybe 2 late calls, but accepting 4 late calls is bad umpiring.

Jonny Blade Shouldn't the empire be the one to call if the ball is in or out; and the overall standing points made in the game?

People make mistakes, but those umpires are in the wrong line of work.

So are you saying that all those points should be given to Strycova due to linesmen mistakes, and not to Venus that earned those points?

Vasyl Shcherban she just needs to challenge earlier.

If Williams wants to challenge she needs to do it before she plays a return and misses.

Cornet is the worse by far.... spoiled brat

Lol

Sybren Adventures : of

The score was being called but Venus interrupted like the judge said.

Agreed. The compiler is completely wrong. Challenge were far too late. Some she just waited to see if her shot was in then challenged.

Actually dead wrong. You have 20 seconds to challenge the call.

Hazori it’s different when you play the ball and you next shot is out

But the calls were right. So it's justified

the challenges were all right...azderaki was encouraging her to challenge as well

That was my favorite part lol

+Kathryn Smith certainly not, however you wont see Kvitova in those videos, at least I have never seen her say anything nasty

they coddle tennis players. Elitist sport

Barbora Strycova's temper tantrums made me laugh. She in her match against Venus Williams was tantruming like small kid.

+Wch How not such a good one since she lost most of the points anyway.

@Will Howley Wozniacki*

If umpire's eye balling is correct, it takes quicker than having to wait for the digital replay. And umpire has other tasks besides observing. It's what I know from cricket.

Sexist!

@@thomashardcastle7231 Why?

@@elsniper6190 Because you said that the WTA umpires are a joke. Just because they are women, right?

@@thomashardcastle7231 I just say it because they make a lot of mistakes what's wrong with you?

@@elsniper6190 Women are allowed to make mistakes. They might have a daughter.

I think because she doesn't usually like to challenge, that she does hesitate a little instead of challenging right away

Because she's a cheater

Okay those balls were clearly out though. Venus sees that the ball was clearly out and is confused as to why no lines person called the ball out. At the end of the day the ball is STILL out.

Serena has a long history and is justifiably criticised. I've heard her scream "what the f--k" without getting penalised, not to mention all her other behaviour issues.

Exactly. Because she can never dare get upset before people talk about behavior issues and the like. If you are being cheated, I do not blame you for challenging a call or asking for clarification. Serena does have a history of enduring bad calls and lousy officiating!

You have to challenge a dubious call immediately - you don't have the luxury of, "oh, let me think about this one for a minute." But it is the call of the umpire if he/she will allow a player to challenge after waiting for some time.

An outright example of emotional displays NOT done by Serena Williams. The media would, along with non-Williams' fans have you believe she is the only one... SMH!

@@katskat5743 serena Williams gains the most attention from even people who are not sports watchers.

@@elfinmordant3313 Just goes to show how great she truly is!

@@katskat5743 yes great but to masculine looking lol. 😐 I can't even be jealous I'm sorry lol. But if she catches the attention of people of course she will get the most heat. Use common sense. Besidds that. No doubt in my mind she takes some form of enhancement drugs. Based on her history. I wouldnt be surprised. So great? Not so much. The cost of being a winner at her level is not worth it 😂

@@elfinmordant3313 😑😑😑

@OriginalKarasu ye put you see thats very expensive

How is Caroline's golf game ?

Go watch Men tournaments too, Men drama at it finest with the likes of Hewitt, McEnroe, Troicki, Rosolo, Murray to name a few

She used them wisely but there were so many bad calls.

As an international official yes I can tell you they do. The better job you do the more high profile matches you get selected for

Empires?

hahaha

The most horrible thing about it was all the bad calls that went against Venus.
