wish more umpires were like this. admits he missed where the mark was, defers to the linesman, and explains the situation calmly and clearly.
"This like a joke, he's very old": Kudermetova disses line judge after heated argument with umpire
WTAWednesday, 17 May 2023 at 10:30
Veronika Kudermetova argued with the umpire during her match against Qinwen Zheng at the Rome Open describing the line judge as old and clearly wrong.
It was a heated battle with Zheng in Rome and it was what Kudermetova perceived as a missed call, that pushed her over the edge. She thought the ball was wide however the ball was called in. The umpire wasn't sure which mark it was and deferred to the line umpire who called the ball in however Kudermetova wasn't happy with that calling him wrong and old:
"This is your mistake, yeah? Who will take care about this one? I mean, if I did mistake, you give me fine or something- This is like a joke. He is very old. I mean, who will pay for that mistake?"
Utimately it didn't matter too much as Kudermetova was able to win the match in three sets.
