"You cannot do that mistake": Cerundolo latest to call for cameras or further technology amid Rune double bounce incident

Cerúndolo called for video technology in tennis after the double bounce
incident in his match against Holger Rune at the 2023 French Open.
The
controversial incident occurred in the third set, with the Danish player
leading 2-1 and the score at deuce. Cerúndolo hit a forehand shot that bounced
twice before Rune could respond, but the umpire missed the error and the young
star did not say anything.
The chair
umpire awarded the point to Rune, leading to a break for the 20-year-old player
in the third set. Cerúndolo expressed his belief that video technology should
be used in tennis during the press conference, saying:
“I don’t
know why in tennis we don’t use it. We have Hawkeye to check the bounces, and
you don’t have anything to check double bounces or if you touch the net or if
you pass the racquet to the other side of the court."
“It was
unbelievable because it was a clear double bounce. I was mad with the umpire
because he has to see it. He has to, I don’t know, check it again and he didn’t
do anything, and I don’t know, I think it’s his fault."
“It’s not
good that he didn’t give me the point, but I understand what, I don’t know, the
tension, and you want to win, and what he did, but I’m really mad with the
umpire because they have to do something. Put cameras. Get the chance to look
again [at] the point because you cannot do that mistake."
In the
quarterfinals, Holger Rune will face the 4th seed Casper Ruud, who defeated
Chilean player Nicolas Jarry in the fourth round.
