There's no consistency," Tiafoe speaks out on the incident between Musetti and a line judge

There's no consistency, Tiafoe speaks out on the incident between Musetti and a line judge

The quarterfinal between Frances Tiafoe and Lorenzo Musetti was marked by an incident in the second set when the Italian hit a ball that ended up striking a line judge.

A sequence for which Musetti received a warning, though controversy later flared up. Unsurprisingly, Tiafoe was asked about the moment in the press conference:

"Obviously, he did it, and nothing happened. I think it’s pretty comical, but that’s how it is. Nothing happened, so I’m not going to dwell on it. But obviously, there’s no consistency.

You don't see the difference between the Djokovic incident and today?

Novak's was an accident. Rules should apply evenly to all.
Even with the computer to keep score, laser to call lines, and netcord mechanism to call lets, the linestaff and judges still manage to make tennis the worst officiated professional sport.
Rarely does a match go by without some type of screw up, many times multiple screw ups that completely change the tempo, flow, and outcome of the match, all with zero repurcussions......

How is this not an automatic disqualification? Regardless that it's an accident, he kicked a ball that hit a line judge. Ask Novak about this one. At the US open the umpire and the tournament director had no problem disqualifying him.

The Djokovic disqualification for a similar incident at the US Open potentially cost him another major to add to his record 24. While Musetti getting disqualified would save Alcaraz the trouble of pummeling him like he has others. It's almost like there is an unfair two-tier rule system.

Read the rules, they will explain why the Djokovic incident was at the level requiring elimination and the Musetti one was not.

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

This week I have used all my formulas and best guesses to try to achieve the high score jimandlori958 set in our last competition. I am two games short because of cancelations and I need all wins to get there.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Grenier and Hsu at the Kobe tournament? The match was played to completion and on time.

Grenier def Ysu 6-2 , 6-2 at Kobe today and the TT canceled the match.

2nd for me this week.

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.
