If Goffin made an ultimatum to Nadal at 2017 Monte Carlo SF, would he have conceded the point?

You can laugh all you want. You know when you've hit 10-15 cm long. That's just how it works in tennis.

The umpire looked very closely at the wrong mark.

If this is close, the umpire should apply a new job:

This out is 10 cm at most. It's not like he missed it by 50 cm. A player can't know that if he is standing ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COURT. I mean, they don't even see where the ball lands. I played tennis in the past, I know what I'm saying.

Yes, you can. It may sound strange, but you have an extremely good feeling about the length of shots when you play a lot of tennis.

I never said he missed by 50 cm, did I? I said a player knows when he hits 10-15 cm out. Because he does.

Rafa's shot is perhaps 7-8 cm long (if the line is 5 cm, which is common on clay courts. Some baselines are wider, even on clay).

I have never said Rafa should give the point to Goffin. Of course not. In tennis, even without umpire, you don't get to make decisions regarding a shot that is not on your half of the court.

In a situation without an umpire, Goffin would call it out, and Rafa would say OK.

Anything is better than relying on a mark!

You are cheating TTW readers, telling lies about Rafa, as usual.
It happened at 3-2 to Goffin:

NAD 2-0 GOF | Rafael Nadal - David Goffin

Lol OK, so you admit Rafa should have given him 4-2; Thiem would have.

Thanks for posting a picture of yourself.

I meant that you are cheating readers, falsely accusing Rafa of cheating.
