“It’s a very contradictory situation. We all know very well that many tennis players sometimes express their stress and nervousness by shouting. Of course, the situation with the score of 5:5 in the third match is very tense, because it’s the semi-final. -final of a major tournament. You and I don’t know if the ball hit the court or if it was in touch. But you have to admit that Rublev got too close of the linesman and said unpleasant words to him.
I think that in Andrei’s case the human factor also played a role. At the same time, you must understand that referees can influence the outcome of the match. They may say something that ends up being true or false. Today, many tournaments have an electronic system that already replaces line judges. I just want to hope that this situation passes very quickly. It was an unpleasant end to the match, it’s a shame that Rublev was disqualified with such a score in the match against Bublik,” Metaratings.ru quotes Vikhlyantseva.
In the final of the Dubai tournament, Alexander Bublik will face Frenchman Hugo Humbert, who sensationally defeated another Russian, Daniil Medvedev, in the semi-final.
