I had a very busy weekend, so not much tennis for me, nor post-match comments or anything the like.
The only thing I read in the Dutch media over here was that Goffin was 'woest' (translate that with something like: 'fuming'), but barely a word about that idiotic mistake by ump and linesman.
Sad to see certain folks putting the blame (partly) on Nadal, here.
Once again, it's not a requirement for the players to correct stupid calls, in contrary, the players most often trust the ump to be right about his calls, especially when it's in fact an OVERRULE.
Umps must be very sure of their overcalls before they do so, so I fully understand Nadal thinking he may well be right.
It's the ump's JOB, not the players'.
Reminds me of a silly thread on GM a few weeks ago, blaming Dustin Brown for not forfeiting a point on a serve of his which wrongly got called in.
I'm not one for believing conspiracy theories, but this does indeed shed a dark light on the ATP, as I can well understand folks thinking that it looked like Mourier didn't want to allow a non-Big Name-player to possibly cause yet another upset after said player had already managed to take out Thiem and Djokovic.
Not that it would ever have happened, as Nadal is truly Something Else on clay, but still...
