Was Federer very unlucky with this Line call in 3 set TB? did any one see that?

was reviewing the match again... On 3 set TB 2nd point, the return from Fed was Well inside the line, but called OUT... and point awarded to Djokovic 2-0. He did not make a good return on that, could be a easy put-away for Fed. Fed didn't challenge either... But for sure Joker knew that was in.

It does look in. But not clear Nole saw it, bounced almost at his feet. Also, it may be that it looks in due to the angle of the camera

Since Djokovic's shot return landed in the play, the best possible outcome for Fed (if he won the challenge) would have been a let, and the point would have been replayed. Djokovic gets a first serve, and he likely wins the point anyway

I just said Fed was very Unlucky! very rare to see line judges making "OUT" call like this one (considering the ball landed several inches inside the line) Also, believe joker was lucky to win this Wimby nothing else.

Federer just didn't take any of 15+ chances he had to break/to get minibreaks/to win the match from set 1 to set 5. He didn't do it. It was just one of those odd matches where Federer just refused to win. He even gave away a point with an unnecessary challenge. No excuses.

You ignored my post? :mad: You cannot safely tell from a TV record that the ball has hit the baseline, although visually it looks like that! Due to the camera angle we don't see the space between the baseline and the impact of the ball. While watching tennis I have seen dozens of such balls, which they hit the line on the outwardly, but the line referee reported OUT.

Obviously, you have a problem accepting Fed's defeat, and this thread you are relieving your complex, that's ridiculous.
