The Tennis Bubble

@dafty_big @edgeAIapp The line umpire called the ball out but the chair umpire didn’t hear it. The line umpire admitted to it and they still give the point to Yuan. Darriet 100% right here. I’m in the stands and can’t believe this decision..

@edgeAIapp hi what’s happening in the Harriet Dart match? They’ve stopped?

@LloydHargreave3 @cheeseatnight @josemorgado Tennis has one of the toughest earning structures in sport. This isn’t about the top players, they’re fine. It’s about the lower ranked players, only around 100-150 players can actually make a living from tennis. When you look at the revenue split in the image, it’s clear why..

@cheeseatnight @thetennisbubble @josemorgado Well a US doctor’s salary is between 220k and 370k. 4 slams are paying you 450k. Now, I get you have to pay a coach, but what are you getting for all the other tournaments you play.? I think what they get for 1st round exits is reasonable. I think 🤷‍♂️

Sinner with STRONG words about the Grand Slam prize money and the possible boycott. “It’s all about respect. We give much more than we are getting from them”

@cheeseatnight @josemorgado You obviously have no idea how much money it costs to survive on tour 🧐

@josemorgado losing in the first round of the Slams earns you hundreds of thousands of dollars a year 🇦🇺AO: A$150,000 🇫🇷FO: €87,000 🇬🇧W: £66,000 🇺🇸US: $110,000 thats approximately $457,800 USD for losing 4 tennis matches, thats like what...10 hours of work for a half million dollars

@realdevdp_ Well all i can say is i played a decent level and i definitely feel when a double bounce happens.

@thetennisbubble We could if it was something that made sense…. your statement is literally false lmao. It’s not about fact or opinion.

“Nearly every tennis player will know it was a double bounce” actually completely false… but not surprised coming from you. This video proves your point wrong… Easy to say it was an obvious double bounce when you are watching it as a viewer… youtube.com/shorts/FKTIVuJ…

@realdevdp_ Let’s agree to disagree 🤷🏼‍♀️

@thetennisbubble False…

@babeloutte You can still show sportsmanship.. as a player you feel when the ball bounced twice, sometimes it’s hard to see for the ref but luckily there’s a VAR review these days. Don’t want to know how many times players cheat when there’s no ref in lower levels 🤷🏼‍♀️

@thetennisbubble And what's the referee doing there? It's not the player who should be looking at the court, it's the referee. Leave Iga alone....

I still don’t understand why you would not own up to it immediately. You know it’s gonna be on TV/social media. As a player you feel/know it double bounced 99% of the time. #swiatek #wta #sakkari

@IndianTennisFan I was thinking about this moment as well, she also knew Pliskova’s ball was clearly inside the lines. Too bad they didn’t have a review back then..

Sakkari is a known cheater btw 😌

Imagine being an ex-professional athlete and being okay with spreading online hate. Professional tennis athletes deal with hate comments every day. Sad to see ex-players adding more hate as well. What’s the point of this post?

Is anyone using WTA TV and is it worth purchasing? I want to watch WTA matches but HBOmax only shows ATP matches 🙃🙃 #wta #atp #tennis

I said it before and I'll say it again: BO3 for everyone and BO5 for everyone from the QF. Equal play, equal pay. Women are perfectly capable of playing 5 sets, these are elite athletes. #wta #atp #tennis

After watching Les Petits As i’m happy that electronic line calling and video review exists on tour because wow so many bad calls..

🚨 The MTO that Carlos Alcaraz took, which didn't even help his results, since he lost that set and the next, is within the rules of the Australian Open, as can be seen in the image. Carlos was not only suffering from cramps, but he had also vomited, which could have led to the suspicion that he was experiencing symptoms of heat illness; in fact, he was also given medication. In this case, treating cramps is permitted as part of the treatment itself for this problem, since they are considered part of the symptoms.

@GarryPa31881391 @PaulFMcNamee He was vomiting as well, sign of heat exhaustion..

@thetennisbubble @PaulFMcNamee Cramps are cramps, how do you even prove its the heat anyway?

Clear now that Carlos has a quad injury… as cramps go in and out, as he accepted treatment and he’s been same same for a third set…. and remember, he refused to get treatment for cramps v Novak in French Open semis 2023. Carlos… a man of principle.

@GarryPa31881391 @PaulFMcNamee but if the cramps are related to the heat you can according to the rules so he did nothing wrong in the end..

@thetennisbubble @PaulFMcNamee You are not allowed an MTO for cramps. You can be treated a couple if times at the changeover. Hence why he played dumb and said he thought it was something else.

@Twittter_Suks @PaulFMcNamee just a confirmation. Doesn't hurt to be friendly online you know ;)

@thetennisbubble @PaulFMcNamee Exactly what I told you before. What's the point of your reply here??

@Twittter_Suks @PaulFMcNamee Seems to me that it was within the rules after all.. + zverev won the third & fourth set so that medical didn’t even affect the end score 😅

@thetennisbubble @PaulFMcNamee Rules haven't changed. You can have treatment during the normal 90 seconds change of ends. You can have a 3 minute medical time out once you're assessed as suffering from a treatable acute injury.

@globaliteman Did he get an MTO during the game or during the change over? I’m only tuning in now. During a change over players are allowed to have a medical for cramps according the rules, no?

Many fans will agree with Zverev. It looks suspicious when organizers take actions that appear to bail out both Sinner and Alcaraz when they are cramping and barely able to move on the court. Fans want fair play and equal treatment of players.
