They are redoing the point itself because of the time it took to fix the error. Similar to in USTA where if balls from other courts are flying to yours before your 2nd serve and takes up a lot of time, people will usually allow a let. It is technically 2nd serve but it is a courtesy to give the 1st

These next generation of guys have such a cohesive and kind rapport with each other. Really nice to see. Competition in sport SHOULD be this way. People who pretend sport is like the days of gladiators fighting to the death are idiots

Depends on the sport. Fight sports need to have a harder edged mentality to be able to compartmentalize harming another person that you don’t have personal animosity with. I believe sportsmanship is still immensely important in these sports, probably even more so than other sports, but the gladiators didn’t really have animosity between them, either.

100%. There's nothing 'uncompetitive' or 'soft' or 'OMG everyone gets a participation trophy waaaaaah' about being a fierce competitor and dying to win, while *also* having a mutual respect for your competitor and enemy in a match. The two are meant to go hand in hand.

It should have been a second serve enforced by the chair umpire. Alcaraz took a first serve and had the opportunity to inspect the balls provided prior to said serve. No hindrance on the first or second.

@dorothygale1104

5 ай бұрын

A player can override a call if it is to the advantage of the other player. It is no different than if a player wins a point because of a bad line call or a bad umpire call and concedes that point to their opponent. If Ruud wants to give Alcaraz another 1st serve, he can do that under the rules. This was not an issue of Alcaraz asking for or expecting another 1st serve and the umpire giving Alcaraz another 1st serve over Ruud’s objection, in which case you are correct about what should be enforced. But ultimately, if a player wants to disadvantage themselves, they have that option. I’ve seen situations where a player wants to concede a point to the other player because a bad call was made and the umpire didn’t want to recognize the concession, so on the next serve the player who unsuccessfully tried to concede the prior point effectively gave a point to the opponent by intentionally not returning the next serve.

I would understand of a redo serve if it was the same ball served to the be traded out but it wasn't.
