20for20 #2: 2013 4R, Djokovic vs Wawrinka

[Third Serve]

This is the kind of match that kicks ass if you just watch the highlights. Way too much of it was middle of the road, or worse.

Hard disagree. The final two sets were incredible and while the match did start slowly, there were plenty of excellent points and rallies sprinkled around.

It only started slow on Djokovic's end.

No, it was the opposite situation. Wawrinka's shot was in, but it was called out. The challenge would show it was in, and since Djokovic touched the ball, the point would have been replayed. Here is a video:

Not only did he touch the ball, but he hit the ball back into play so it would have to be replayed. Even if the bad call never came, it's not set in stone that he will win the point anyway since Djokovic could have easily guessed right on his next shot and passed him. I don't understand how people think he was robbed on the point since he wouldn't have won the point anyway even if he challenged.

Idk about Djokovic/Murray at #17 though. Murray gets no respect on TTW. Lol

Not nearly enough respect as he should get, being the GOAT and all

The call itself was terrible. The ball never looked out to me, and truth is, it touched half of the line. Not even close to being out.

Anyway, Wawrinka never deserved to win this match after missing the second set like that. He has only himself to blame.

It was a bad call but you really can't tell until the hawyeye or replay because of how fast Djokovic hits the next shot, unless you have a 70 inch tv and great eyes. But it was on the line.

Well he has himself to at least blame for not challenging that call at that point in the match in the 5th set.
