Federer got a warning after 12-13 seconds because Cilic (of all people) was ready to serve
While we are at it, we should "automate" the rowdy fans and use of towels. That way, we can eliminate the subjective waiting time before the ball is served.we need to automate chair like we do line calls.
no one to argue against. i am glad we no longer have lines people and challenges.
The ones who move the most tickets and draw the biggest ratings are the establishment darlings. You're going to tell me that isn't Federer?
imagine umpiring this...Player x gets a warning b.c. they bounced the ball 7 times in between serves when on average across the tour they bounce it 4 times. at some point, rule enforcement has to be practical.I totally respect individual routines. But not if it disrupts the opponent. When a server bounces the ball 4-5 times on some points and then on important points bounces it 10-15 times (Djokovic) it can be quite disruptive bc the returner usually crouches down into a ready position once the server starts bouncing the ball. This can be mentally annoying AND physically tiring for the opponent to have to wait like that. There should be a rule that a server can wait as long as he wants within the limits of the serve clock to come to the line (so he gather his concentration) but once he’s there he should follow a similar routine. Back in the days of the epic Fed vs Nadal and Djokovic matchups even as a TV spectator, I couldn’t stand those long waits that Nadal and Djokovic put Fed through when they were serving.
The problem isn't that Shapo is wrong. The problem is he let it distract him from the task at hand. Work the umpire during a changeover in a firm, but calm voice. This way you can possibly influence the next call while not losing your **** on the court.I you watched the match it was really a non issue.It was the heat of the moment and didn't have any impact or change on the rest of the match. Denis should have perhaps just brought it up to Carols on the next changeover.
You get more perks the more famous or rich you are. That is life. If Shap wins GS titles. he will get more perks. Maybe unfair but that is life.
I am sure being an elite athlete, Shap gets some perks in cutting certain lines or getting preferential treatment that Joe Blow, who he is jumping over, doesn’t get. Does he complain then?
The only one who really looks bad in all this is the umpire. So his response is doing nothing and then when the other person complains, he actually uses that as an excuse as to why the point has not started? That is some level of BS. Peeing on someone and then blaming them for it. At least be honest and say that Rafa is getting the Senior Buffet preferential rate.

Nah, they gave him a time violation recently against Cilic. And constantly put Novak and him in the same half off clay in 2008-2012 which benefited Nadal tremendously.
One tournament in a single year (which wasn't even fast but medium-fast) pales in comparison to systemic slowdown of the game across the board to help Nadal catch-up in the slam race, in addition to letting him ignore the time rule whenever he feels like it and starting the shot clock later for him.
I sense a lot of homophobia in your post.Maybe you need to come out of that little closet already if that’s what you’re focusing on…
Yes it does look like Carlos is corrupt and is suckup fanboy to Nadal, the the GOAT. or he's just afraid that Rafa will make sure carlos never umpires anywhere ever ?? except in local high school matches ?'You guys are all corrupt!' - Denis Shapovalov in furious rant at Rafael Nadal and umpire at Australian Open
"You started the clock like 45 seconds ago and he is not ready to play," Denis Shapovalov began in his angry rant at the umpire over Rafael Nadal's apparent time-wasting. "You started the clock like so long ago and he is still not ready to play. You've gotta code him. Code him! He's not ready to play! Are you kidding me? You guys are all corrupt! You guys are all corrupt!"
Denis Shapovalov let rip with a furious rant at both Rafael Nadal and the umpire Carlos Bernardes during their fiery quarter-final at the Australian Open.
Absolutely livid at what he felt was the 2009 champion at Melbourne Park's constant time-wasting, the Canadian flew into an angry exchange with the umpire where he accused the official of being "corrupt".
With a 1-0 lead in the second set, having lost the opener 6-3, Shapovalov yelled at the umpire for not handing Nadal a code violation for taking too much time between points.
The exchange with the No. 14 seed and the umpire, as Nadal watched on from the other side of the court having not been ready to begin the game, unravelled as follows:
Shapovalov: "You started the clock like 45 seconds ago and he is not ready to play. You started the clock like so long ago and he is still not ready to play. You've gotta code him."
Umpire: "Yeah. I code him now, now you are not ready to play?"
Shapovalov: "Code him!"
Umpire: "For what?"
Shapovalov: "He's not ready to play!"
Umpire: "Yeah but you are not ready to play, because you came to talk to me."
Shapovalov: "Are you kidding me?"
Umpire: "I'm not kidding you."
Shapovalov: "You guys are all corrupt! You guys are all corrupt!"

Carlos is very smart. If you can’t beat them, join them.Yes it does look like Carlos is corrupt and is suckup fanboy to Nadal, the the GOAT. or he's just afraid that Rafa will make sure carlos never umpires anywhere ever ?? except in local high school matches ?
And what does that unintentional accident have to do with this case, Karen?This the same guy who bashed a ball at a chair umpire sending him to hospital?
He's simply a time cheater, accept it.When players get rattled whilst playing Rafa they resort to complaining about his timing. Djokovic doesn't do it but even Federer does.
Murrayfan, I wonder, if it's The Corrupt Tennis that Murray has received a remarkable number of wild-cards.Wonder what Rafa said to Dennis at the net?
"You do not like to play The Corrupt Tennis?"
Bernardes, after almost losing his career once upon a time for giving Nadal a time violation, understands the game and knows very well it’s very bad to antagonise Rafa.
Yes, it's mostly unrelated. "Unintentional accident" is inaccurate, though. Shapo was reckless when he intentionally hit the ball that ended up causing the injury.And what does that unintentional accident have to do with this case, Karen?
It is 100% accurate because just like nole 2020 uso, shapo didn't mean to target anyone with his angry smack even though the ball did end up hitting someone.Yes, it's mostly unrelated. "Unintentional accident" is inaccurate, though. Shapo was reckless when he intentionally hit the ball that ended up causing the injury.
Shapo should have got a TV warning there.The shot clock showed there were 8 seconds left. Should it dictate? Why was Shapo complaining then?
when did that happen? Event and ca. I ask bec genuinely interested and would like to find out more. Thanks
But Rafa was serving when Shapo interrupted his routine to go and talk to the umpire.That's not the incident I was talking about. I am talking about when Shapo is about to start a new game, and Rafa is not in returning position when the clock reaches 0. Shapo pointed it out, and Bernardes made the joke saying it was Shapo who wasn't ready, because he was talking to him (Bernardes). The other incident was a misunderstanding and Shapovalov made it clear what it was about in the presser(the incident when him and Rafa met up at the net)
Yes, your honor. My friend and I decided to have a few pitchers of beer before we raced our cars through the pedestrian crosswalk in the school zone mid-afternoon. But we didn't mean to harm anyone. It was just an unintentional accident.It is 100% accurate because just like nole 2020 uso, shapo didn't mean to target anyone with his angry smack even though the ball did end up hitting someone.
The serve clock hasn't reached 0, it was ticking towards zero (according to Shapo's own words). The shot clock showed there were 8 seconds left.That's not the incident I was talking about.

Nadal requests umpire not work his matches
PARIS -- Rafael Nadal has asked the ATP that chair umpire Carlos Bernardes not be assigned to his matches for the time being because of a dispute between the two at a tournament in February.www.espn.com
Shapo smashes a ball in anger when things get tight.The fact that Shapo doesn’t know all these rules imply that he’s still very innocent and have no intention of using any of these to his advantage when things get tight. Therefore, together we are making Canada great again. Hear, hear.
