Novak Djokovic's semi-final clash at Wimbledon against Jannik Sinner nearly descended into chaos early on after the former was given a controversial penalty for hindrance.
The World No.2 saved multiple break points in his opening service game and then immediately broke the Italian to impose his dominance early on.
He eventually wrapped up the set but to begin the second, he was called for hindrance after he lets out a long grunt following a backhand down the line.
He dropped to his knees before protesting his innocence but it wasn't over turned. At the time he was 2-1 up in the second set.
Watch the video below. Was the umpire right in his call?

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".
