Maybe tennis isnt my thing

I've seen many players take awhile to decide to challenge... after talking to their coaches, asking the ump, checking the mark a few times. They were allowed to still challenge. Isner went to challenge first at the 0:08 second mark in that video because the ball was initially called out. Then it was overruled and Nalbandian didn't even hear it at first because the crowd was screaming. He asks Nouni what's going on, Nouni tells him he overruled, he checks the mark and challenges. Both players were going to challenge, two officials disagreed on whether the ball was in or not. Maybe time for Hawkeye to be used at that point??? Either way, Isner may still have won for all we know. But that stuff shouldn't happen at a Slam. Leave the dramatics to babies like Baghdatis.

thanks for the more complete explanation. still can't believe it happened. what do you think Serena would have done had that happened to her????

Isner gonna be super sharp today.

Lots will be blindly betting against him out of spite.

Doubt that. Isner is always backed pretty well on hard courts when the price is low like it is today.
