"Hawk-Eye is so useless": Medvedev's anger during his match against Alcaraz in Beijing 2024

Once again, Daniil Medvedev let his frustration take over during his match against Carlos Alcaraz in Beijing 2024.

It was a scene that annoyed more than a few. In Beijing, during the semifinal against the Spaniard, the Russian was once again overwhelmed by his emotions. Frustrated at not being able to review a ball on video, the player lashed out at the supervisor:

"Hawk-Eye is so useless. Just show it! Why does the ATP pay for Hawk-Eye if we can't see it? Don't buy Hawk-Eye, guys. It's not my sponsor."

An anger that didn't help his match result: a 7-5, 6-3 defeat against the eventual champion.

13e, 2760 points

Struggles with injuries and lack of money: the double punishment for tennis players far from the Top 100 stars
Struggles with injuries and lack of money: the double punishment for tennis players far from the Top 100 stars

A tennis player's income depends solely on his sporting results. In the event of injury, the daily life of those far from the Top 100 can become extremely complicated.

Conceived as a bold bet to prepare for the post–Big 3 era, the Next Gen Masters has shaken up the codes of modern tennis. A pioneering, visionary tournament, but now in search of an identity.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
