No way this is a default, chair umpire was initially correct. It’s almost like she’s chipping the ball to the ball kid to catch. Roger used to do this all the time. Ball kids catches it, and it’s a round of applause…disgraceful from the opponents who demanded a default.

Miyu Kato & Aldila Sutjiadi just got defaulted as Kato hit a ball girl accidentally at 6-7(1), 3-1. Ball girl is okay but got scared & started crying. Kato went to check on her & apologize but nothing could be done — supervisor called, default confirmed.

The sad thing about the Rublev incident was 1) The ball was IN…🤦🏼 2) He would have mostly likely only got a warning had he vented from the baseline (you can’t get in an official’s face like that) He has apologised and owned what he did and said. Hawkeye Live 2025! All events.

Tsitsipas wants the environment to be as calm and non combative as possible, it suits his frame of mind to play his best tennis. Nick wants the exact opposite for him to perform at his best. He loves the chaos/circus. At the end of the day, it’s down to the umpire to manage…

This is a better view of the Brooksby incident. 2 scenarios for a default (per a Supervisor) 1) The contact, even if unintentional, creates a serious injury. 2) If the act is intentional. So let’s say a player tried hit a ball at the umpire, but missed, that’s a default.
