Complete opposite can be said for Cirstea. Hasn’t achieved much but easily a more likeable character. To me it matters as much if not more than just the talent/game.

I agree. Have always like Cirstea

She's better known as Cheatbulkova

She's the worst.

And I've been waiting for the appearance of the Williams brothers with a similar level of anticipation.

She is a beast

But she communicated herself very clearly and I kind of agreed with her

Her and Ostepenko are definitely in this comp lol

not all the time son

This is why I always say if a tournament has hawkeye on its show court then they should have it on all courts. Because players the outer courts that don't have hawkeye are put at a disadvantage to players who are on the main courts.

Hilarious pmsl!!!!!!

The general tactic is the same as if you were in a car accident. Don't admit responsibility

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

She rightfully was that furious. She got robbed hard.

100% right. Moron ref

The first challenge was because the umpire didn't have the balls to overrule and knew it was in. The second was way too late. I'm torn because a call is a call and I think if wrong should be automatically overruled whether a player asked for a challenge or not. But those aren't the current rules. So I think the umpire was way off because I see a lot of them refusing people challenges after they hit the ball yet here she gives Venus the opportunity, but really those points did not belong to Strycova anyway.

The last 2 was wrong. The first I think should've been allowed because I think Venus thought the ball was good.

Awful and unfair umpiring.

The peoblem is on the rules they should give the players 10 sec at least

Including players

Incompetent umpiring. However, that seems to be the theme throughout...

I loved Cirstea in that match!

‘What do you want now?’ Will always be an iconic Sorana line!

Wozniacki is in a lot of the first video in this series

Who was Cirstea playing against in that match? 😅

@@markusan9173 Im talking about that match on clay vs Putinseva. In the 3rd set, Putinseva was doing her show, and at one point, Cirstea had enough, she simply asked her - what do you want now? -

The umpire and line judges in this game should never be allowed near a tennis match again - even as spectators. Cibulkova should have been banned for cheating.

But Radwanska “got greedy”/over confident by claiming she knew better than the overrule. In doing so she rejected the “freebie” replay in order to insist, no, I believe it was out, I know better than the line judge who overruled it. Again challenge implies that Aga would have requested a challenge even if no original out call / subsequent correction had been made.

No kader was correct

Wozniacki has always been so disgustingly entitled. Thinks she’s hit shit but she sucks

Exactly my opinion. These cheaters are by no means role models for children and adolescents and they should get a hefty fine every time and be banned for at least a month, the second time for two months, and so on.

Serena was absolutelly right and the other player should admited it. But this threat and trash talk is so unappropriate.

More like absolute thug

Her opponent hit the volley with the racket handle, i think. So Serena was wrong. However even if she had been right her behaviour was unacceptable, bullying the other.

@@laurent9752 there are hundreds of thousands of dollars at stake. Cheating is not just oops I made a mistake. This woman lied bald faced and she took pain to the arm and still lied, lied lied lied, to try to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from her superior opponent. You don’t object to that, but you object to a few strong words from Serena that included zero profanities? Serena has a right to let her know, without cursing, not to mess with her, as she is trying to do (and still lost in straight sets)

@@javiert.592 nope, many replays showed that Martinez hit it with her elbow/arm. Serena was 100% right

Николай Николай Because she challenged the call after it was corrected. The line’s person called it out and then corrected the call. If Radwanska didn’t challenge the corrected call, they would’ve replayed the point. However, after the call was corrected, Radwanska challenged the call, thus stopping play. That’s why she lost the point.

@@s.w.d4010 Even if she challenged the call after it was corrected, the point is still a let. The play is already stopped when the linesperson corrected themselves. If a player challenges and it's wrong, they still replay the point. There have been plenty of matches just this year where players have challenged corrections, and they were wrong. And they didn't lose the point. I've seen Roger Federer do it plenty of times on calls that were overruled or corrected, and his challenge was wrong, and they still replayed the point. In Venus Williams' loss today at the French Open, the umpire made a correction on a ball that was called out. She disagreed and had the umpire check the mark. He showed her that the mark was on the line, and they still replayed the point. The only way Aga could lose the point is if she actually gave up on the point and didn't hit the ball. But she did hit the ball back into the court.

Pomerlain89 Why is this so hard to understand? An out call was made. Play was stopped for the FIRST time. The line’s person corrected the call. So the players would have to replay the point because Radwanska had a play on the ball. BUT Radwanska challenged the CORRECTED call. She stopped play for a SECOND time because she thought the ball was out and it wasn’t. That’s why she lost the point. If you stop play to challenge a call and you lose the challenge, you LOSE the point. She should’ve just kept her mouth shut. They were going to replay the point before she challenged the corrected call.

@@s.w.d4010 How is it so hard to understand the THE PLAY WAS ALREADY STOPPED AND A LET? Challenging a corrected call does not stop play and it doesn't lose the point for the challenging player if they are wrong. If the challenge is wrong, the point is still replayed. Like I've said there have been matches at this year's USO and FO, where players have challenged a correction, and they were wrong. They did not lose the point. I've seen this same umpire, Kader Nouni, have players challenge a correction or overrule that leads to a let, the player challenges the call, is wrong, and the point is still replayed. On serves, a linesperson might call out, and the umpire issues an overrule and issues a first serve since the returner got the ball back. The returner will challenge the overrule, be wrong, and it's still just a first serve, not a loss of point.

Pomerlain89 No that’s not correct. The lines person called the ball out and then corrected it. That means the players would have to replay the point right? But INSTEAD of replaying the point Radwanska decided to challenge the CORRECTED call. If the ball would’ve been OUT Radwanska would WIN the point but the ball was IN so she LOSES the point! A decision was already made to replay the point but Radwanska CHOSE NOT to replay the point and used a challenge which she got WRONG. That’s why she lost the point. That is the point you keep missing. You are not understanding the challenge system. If a player STOPS play which Radwanska did to challenge the ball and the player gets the challenge wrong they LOSE the point.

That's why the WTA issues an apology to Aga after the match.

Ikr and umpire acted so sure..wtf

No the umpire correctly followed the ITF rules. I agree it's a confusing scenario and kind of hard to get your head around, but when Aga challenges the ball it effectively overrides the "fault correction" - so is treated like she stopped the point. If you challenge an IN call in the rules it means you believe the ball was out - so if the challenge is wrong you have to forfeit the point. Aga thought she had nothing to lose by challenging because either way they would replay the point, but it actually doesn't work like that - that's why the umpire looked a bit bemused by her challenging. Most people would have assumed this as well so I don't blame her. This scenario is quite rare, but the outcome was correct by the ITF rules.

@@yeahiagree1070 That is an impressively long piece of bullshit my friend. The WTA issued an apology to Radwanska after the match. The very famous KADERGATE ended with Aga being right, and it is because she wasn't the one to stop the point but the linesperson.

the situation is actually not THAT rare. I've seen it dozens of times after 2012, and in each and every case, the point was replayed (as it should).

@@tendrugimichal Oh wow, you use tennisforum.com, I'm really impressed. LMAO! I suggest you actually read the comment again. The point of contention is challenging an IN call. The rules state that if a player does this, there is an assumption from them that the point is over. Challenging with a back-up replay is effectively trying to take 'two bites of the cherry' - sportsmanship. I just SAID Aga has no blame in this example because of the confusing forfeit rule. The "rare scenario" is the point NOT being replayed - you literally just agreed with me that it's rare for this to happen. Also this ITF rule has been clarified SINCE this match that happened years ago - and the WTA "apology" was randomly claimed by Aga with no context. An "apology" (real or not) could refer to numerous issues surrounding the overrule and how the rule was explained - it's not an admission that she was wrongly forfeited a point. All this is explained in your precious KADERGATE thread btw. Nice try though!

its nice when you u speak any slavic language and understand all things strycova was saying

it's nice when someone who speaks czech translates all the things Strycova was saying...... ^^

Can you transalate some things she said??? Hehe

if anything it’s not venus fault that’s the umpire but all the shots were out too

@@miltonlanza5661 Yeah the umpire was very in the wrong but it's also bad sportsmanship from Venus. You know how long you have to challenge. Honestly when the umpire even asked Venus if she wanted to challenge i knew that umpire was corrupt

Mitchell Roos yeah but its still up to the umpire to say its too late

Venus was almost coerced into challenging from the umpire who seemed to have it out for Strycova, maybe trying to make it up to a Williams for the 2011 US Open debacle with Serena although ump was 100% correct then.

Yes I've seen many umps refuse a challenge when your next shot goes out. You need to stop play as soon as ball bounces not after your shot sails long or wide

No she was wrong. After the correction she could continue playing. But she decided to stop, believing that the ball was out.

@@georgranert3622 nope Radwanska is correct, the line judge called the ball out then said correction, Radwanska hit the ball back into the court and then she challenged it, call stands so it's a replay point because she hit the ball back into the court no matter the challenge.if Radwanska hit the ball out, then it depends if the call came before or after the shot.

Zverev approves

Dharmaboy it will never. It’s to expensive

🤣

I personally think the umpire & Venus were telepathically saying to each other "let's teach this Brat a lesson"😂

It's funny because I just watch Strycova playing doubles with Hsieh and she seems so chill and loved by everyone hahaha

No it shouldn’t. The rules say that if you challenge a ball that was called in during a rally and it was in then you lose the point. Just because it was overruled doesn’t mean Aga can suddenly challenge and have a replay the point.

@@alexphexona7511 Thats your opinion.

Yeah.....amateur billiard pool....same thing Hahahahahaha.

@@ironhazes Wtf is funny? That I am pointing there are sports and competitions which promote honesty and honor over winning? Have you ever seen a tennis player, snooker, billiard (amateur or pro) or else admit a mistake for their opponents' sake? Somehow WTA is loaded with unsportsmanlike conduct. This is funny to me and I've got no explanation, but show one example when female tennis player admits something in favour of her opponent and I'll show you five examples of males doing it.

@@noegojimmy Hmmm...somewhere your argument changed into a male-female thing. What I am laughing at is you comparing your billiards to professional tennis players. That continues to strike me as hilarious.

@@ironhazes This video about females right? What strikes me is that you don't understand that some competitions, no matter pro or amateur, require certain conduct. Again: No matter if billiard match is pro or amateur, no matter if tennis match is pro or amateur, not only competitors but any viewers too need to behave accordingly.

@@noegojimmy enough with the billiards comparison.

“Ok good ” is the cherry on top😂

That is not exhibition match. It's hopman cup

Vinit Shah Hopman Cup is an exhibition tournament

@@jnayvann Please do the proper research or you can read the Wikipedia page as well. It's competitive tournament.

Vinit Shah It’s a competitive tournament that awards no ranking points, prize money, and does not affect head to heads. Technically, an exhibition tournament.

@@jnayvann but it's still a final and those nice balls were on offer as well as bragging rights as the winning team

She only complains when its warranted. Normally she just lets it ride. Hell she rarely challenges the ball.

She just complains when is losing

I didn't watch the video when I first commented but that was a ridiculous call. that point should have been replayed.

After looking at it again Kader is correct. The linesman called it out then immediately called correction. Kader didn't even get to say replay the point because Aga asked for a challenge. The challenge showed that the ball was good. At that point she loses the point because she incorrectly challenged a call that was good.

@@db200508 I don't care if the umpire immediately corrected themselves. Once they say out the point is over and then it's at the least replay the point. And Aga then challenges. If ball is out, it's her point. If it's in, it's replay the point. It's never Safarova's point. Ever

Cameron Bedeau You should care, it’s in the rule book...

@@jnayvann If you watched any of the HC tournaments this year, there were plenty of calls where the linespeople corrected themselves or the umpire made an overrule and the players challenged and it was wrong. They did not lose the point. The point was replayed. The point is dead once the linesperson makes a call, and if they say correction, it's automatically a let. Even if the player challenges the correction and it's wrong. The point is still replayed.

yeah xd

Except if the overrule by the chair umpire is wrong. If that ball had been out, and Aga challenged, and was correct, she wins the point. Happens at every tournament. Umpires and line judges do get overrules and corrections completely wrong, and should a player challenge it, and be proven correct, they get that point. There's no rule that if a line judge or umpire makes an overrule or correction, that the player can't challenge.

@@pomerlain8924 It's about replaying the point.

Not since McEnroe-Nastase in 1979
