Rome 2023 Quarter Final - World's Heavyweight Champion Vs The Danish Sensation - Djokovic Vs Rune

[Hitman]

Just like that, 5-2 to Djokovic. EMW isn't going away quietly.

Rune, seriously, calm down!

 

[The_Order]

He shouldn't keep playing if he's injured, not with RG being just around the corner.

Ohh ffs stop it... there's nothing wrong with him

 

[MichaelNadal]

Rune swinging at every ball like he’s trying to kill a mosquito. A hot mess

 

[Chanwan]

Hahahahahaha, it's always the umpire that makes me look like a bad guy

 

[junior74]

Holger: You're an absolute joke, man! Absolute joke!

Novak yesterday: He reminds me of my self

Novak now: Giggling like hell on his bench

 

[ojo rojo]

What a hot mess of a match

 

[Terenigma]

Lmao Rune screaming physio. He's done. Its over. Headcases gonna headcase.

 

[Hitman]

The crowd is being really harsh on Rune.

Doesn't deserve it.

 

[Krish0608]

What is Holger whining about? My internet went out for a min.

Rune was serving at 40-30. Nole returned a serve that looked out (to me) and Rune stopped play. The ball was called in by Mo. And then Nole went on to break.

 

[gold soundz]

Did they show the hawkeye of the call Rune is disputing?

 

[nolefam_2024]

Holger: You're an absolute joke, man! Absolute joke!

Novak yesterday: He reminds me of my self

Novak now: Giggling like hell on his bench

Hahaha this can't be better. We want Rune to be next Nole and Alca to be next Rafa.

 

[Snafu23]

Do we have hawk-eye confirmation on whether the return clipped the line or was it out?

Very annoyingly the commentators do but will not show us fearing we can't handle it and "its not fair to the players or the linesmen". So annoying. Mark looked out to me but hard to tell

 

[CoolCoolCool]

Ohh ffs stop it... there's nothing wrong with him

I said "if he's injured", it's not for me to say whether he is. Calm the hell down lol.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

What the hell is going on

 

[Noleberic123]

Did they show the hawkeye of the call Rune is disputing?

It was out

 

[MichaelNadal]

Literally every time I bother to peek at a Novak match the EXACT SAME THINGS happen. I really gotta just never do this again.

 

[Hitman]

This is the ONE thing that I don't like about Rune, he just loses his head at the worst possible times. Focus dude.

 

[Terenigma]

Medical time out. Sadly there is no cure a trainer can give you for losing your cool over a bad call and then getting broken. Leg rubs and wiggles will have to do.

 

[Krish0608]

Very annoyingly the commentators do but will not show us fearing we can't handle it and "its not fair to the players or the linesmen". So annoying. Mark looked out to me but hard to tell

Yeah same. It looked out to me as well. If that's really the case, Rune has been robbed and I completely understand his frustration. But I would have liked a hawk-eye confirmation.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Lie cheat steal. Whatever it takes to win today.

 

[Beandip]

Hawkeye! It was out!

 

[mike danny]

So Rune got robbed.

 

[ojo rojo]

Coverage on Prime showed the Hawkeye. Holger was correct. The ball was out

 

[mehdimike]

Commentators said it was 8mm out

 

[Bubcay]

Rune telling Mo he's an absolute joke. "Do you get punished when you make a mistake? Because when we get punished we get fined"

[The_Order]

Hawk eye says its 8mm long....

What a JOKE! Holger every right to be furious...

 

[sortof]

Hahahahahaha, it's always the umpire that makes me look like a bad guy

Yeah, that´s good one. Time to put him in a straightjacket and carry him off the court.

 

[Chanwan]

Holger won't like the umpire any more after that hawkeye....

 

[Krish0608]

I knew it! Freaking Mo Lahyani. He is fast turning out to be one of the worst chair umpires in the game. Such a meddlesome dude who overplays his hand all the time.

 

[initialize]

They replayed it... Mole's shot was out 100%

 

[nolefam_2024]

Commentators said it was 8mm out

The gloves have come off.

 

[tex123]

How can you call that ball in? Ridiculous.

 

[ojo rojo]

Leyhani made a similar f-up in the Muzz/Fog match. Dude looks high as a kite most of the time

 

[Nadal15thslam]

This is the ONE thing that I don't like about Rune, he just loses his head at the worst possible times. Focus dude.

How can you focus when at 40 all instead of him having game point Djokovic gets a break point.

 

[Rudiiii]

Yeah same. It looked out to me as well. If that's really the case, Rune has been robbed and I completely understand his frustration. But I would have liked a hawk-eye confirmation.

It was out , but realllyyy small out

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

Commentators said it was 8mm out

close call... not even a djokotear!

 

[The_Order]

I said "if he's injured", it's not for me to say whether he is. Calm the hell down lol.

I'm calm mate... we've all seen this story a million times and we know it's all an act...

Have a look at him now... running around, full of energy...

 

[nolefam_2024]

Need a hold here.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Literally every time I bother to peek at a Novak match the EXACT SAME THINGS happen. I really gotta just never do this again.

Lol let's be honest you only care if Djokovic is losing.

 

[Nadal15thslam]

They just showed the hawkeye and it was out. Rune robbed.

 

[chuckersthenut]

Terrible game from novak

 

[Krish0608]

Here people are talking more about Holger's justified "meltdown" than about how Mo's horrendous call could potentially change the outcome of this match. I would be furious too if I was Holger.

 

[Snafu23]

Yeah same. It looked out to me as well. If that's really the case, Rune has been robbed and I completely understand his frustration. But I would have liked a hawk-eye confirmation.

We just got it with another syrupy apology to Lahyani for making him look bad- guess what Nick Lester, Lahyani made Lahyani look bad. Hate the idea that the generall public needs coddled from the truth with unreasonable irritation. Rune was confirmed to be right, 8mm too. Crazy they know but couldn't use it.

 

[The_Order]

I knew it! Freaking Mo Lahyani. He is fast turning out to be one of the worst chair umpires in the game. Such a meddlesome dude who overplays his hand all the time.

I've never seen an umpire try and insert themselves into matches and try to take some spot light like he does...

Federer put him in his place with that Kyrgios fiasco a few years ago

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Ball was out, Layhani is full of sh*t.

 

[Hitman]

One thing is for certain, you never know what you are going to get in a Rune match. All the talent in the world, but sometimes his own worst enemy. Imagine if he didn't waste so much energy on all these distractions.

 

[Terenigma]

Commentators said it was 8mm out

The bad call that might cost Rune the match.

 

[CoolCoolCool]

I'm calm mate... we've all seen this story a million times and we know it's all an act...

Have a look at him now... running around, full of energy...

Who is "we"? Cause it's mostly people who can't stand him who say that, there's no consensus.

 

[tex123]

What a point!! Holger! 0-40

 

[Paulreedsmith]

"Umpires making me look bad" !!! No you y´self makes u look bad!
