Tseng vs Sousa match -- wierd behavior from umpire in 5th set.

[onehandbh]

Anyone catch the last set of Tseng vs Sousa?

One Sousa's service game to the ad court, Tseng thought a 1st serve was out. Serve was called in. Tseng lackadaisically returned the serve but stopped play and asked the umpire to check the mark. The umpire refused to come down and check the mark. Sousa hit a clean winner off the return.

Then in the following service game, Sousa asked the umpire to check and mark on a serve called in and the umpire came right down to check.

A lot of umpires are behaving weirdly. No consistency. However, I think because the player has played the ball, he can’t ask for review.
