(VIDEO) Unbelievable umpire mistakes return as Shelton-Etcheverry match descends into chaos

The past couple of weeks have seen umpires hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons and that has continued into the Swiss Indoors in Basel with Ben Shelton and Tomas Martin Etcheverry descending into chaos.
The umpire though the ball hit Etcheverry's leg before it hit the ground. He was clearly wrong and this in turn changed the whole course of the match as it was 15-40 instead of 30-30. Shelton broke Etcheverry in the very next point.
It also proved to be vital for the course of the match as Shelton from there went on to run out the winner in a 6-3, 6-4 win over the Argentine in the first round.
But after the past few weeks which have seen dodgy line calls go centre stage including Frances Tiafoe who soon shouted expletives at the umpire, Stefanos Tsitsipas who belittled the umpire for his perceived lack of tennis experience and cardio and other such incidents.
It calls out a major problem in the sport which surrounds line calling and umpire mistakes/human error which can happen and everyone is human but also leave players fuming especially when this happens time and again.

- Williams' PR person (or people) is feeding all this crap to suckers online who will publish it... and read it. Although I got a chuckle when I read the lie about her having a "grapefruit" sized cyst in her neck. Somebody might want to find out where she's buying her fruit and tell the owner to stop telling her wine grapes are not Grapefruits!!

Let 'em have it. Of course, the best protection is to spend little or no time on anti-Social Media.mandoist21-10-2024
- I think opinions about tennis are interesting. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I do not. I have more problems with articles about Serena Williams going to a party or Federer visiting a football match 😀
AceOfBase19-10-2024 - You (Tennis Update) keep posting bits from Stubbs every time she has a brainfart... but you fail to tell us why we should care; or even why her opinion is relevant?mandoist17-10-2024
