Iga gets hate, a LOT. Not sure why, american girls apparently cant stand her (maybe its bc she continuously kicks their behind???). The new one is that, in a controversial "double bounce" yesterday against Emma Navarro, Iga should've conceded the point, aknowledge the ball was "not up".
MY TAKE as a TENNIS PLAYER is that she (Iga) could NEVER be absolutely sure wether she got it or not. If Emma wasnt sure, Iga absolutely could not be sure if she is in a full sprint full stretch barely getting to the ball.
if you play tennis, you have been there. You cant be sure. You might believe or "feel" you got to the ball, your opponent might think otherwise. In a GS (or any pro tournament) its 100% the umpires responsibility. Ive read a lot of post claiming Iga shouldve conceded bc SHE KNOWS. No. Again, its impossible to be certain in such a close call.
Heres the point in question:
Apparently, Navarro had the chance to ask for vid review BUT since she played on, she waved that chance....
Would YOU have conceded? I 100% would have NOT conceded.
