"Pretty bad for me if that call was made" quips Stefanos Tsitsipas on Sinner line judge drama, calls clay marking 'weird'

Greece’s tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas has admitted that
things would have ‘turned out completely different’ had the match officials pointed
out his double fault in the semifinal of the Monte-Carlo Masters. The
25-year-old secured a rather upset win in the last-four clash of the ongoing
ATP 1000 event in Monaco with a score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 on Saturday.
During the third set of the match, the reigning world number two was
3-1 up and had an advantage on the serve of Stefanos. The Greek’s serve while
trying to defend another break was clearly over the line but the match
officials failed to call it and he ended up winning the point which was good
enough to keep the serve. Had that serve been rightly called, Sinner would have
ended that game firmly in control with a lead of 4-1.
Tsitsipas was later quoted in a report where he admitted
that things would have been completely different had that call been made my match
officials. "It might have had bigger influence to my opponent than it had
on me," said Tsitsipas. "I was dealing with a break down at that
moment. Of course double break down wouldn't make things easier for me and just
holding serve there was crucial. I think the match would have turned out
completely different if that would have been called out. I will agree that it
would have been pretty bad for me if that call was made."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
