Athletistic/Tennis. Russian tennis coach Viktor Yanchuk expressed his opinion on the ATP’s decision to award 200 points to Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev for his victory in the quarterfinals of the ATP-500 tournament in Dubai, despite the fact that he was disqualified in the semi-final due to a conflict with the judge.

“The decision to award points to Rublev did not come by chance. This is probably based on experience and is appropriate. However, we will only know how useful and effective this will be over time.

It’s a shame that Rublev got a little burnt out, but it’s important to remember that there are rules that everyone must follow. Conflicts with linesmen are not that common. Major tournaments use an electronic verification system which works perfectly. I don’t see any problem here.

I think the use of video reviews is justified. We need to introduce an automatic system to quickly resolve these problems,” shared his opinion.

  • Rublev received 200 points for reaching the semi-finals of the Dubai tournament
