    Anyone see the meltdown by Troicki??

    Can't wait till someone puts this on youtube. Ill post if i find it.

    But if u saw it live, easily one of teh funniest moments in tennis. The guy was complaining in animated fashion for a good 4-5 mins about an over-rule by the umpire. Even went as far as to grab the camera man and forced him to come to the baseline to take a shot where the ball mark was. He even said he's going to retire but changed his mind at the end (thank god, I have Gulbis in a parlay).

    Ironic, because he's playing Gulbis - and Gulbis was just sitting there looking at a reflection of himself

    Wasn't it the absence of an overrule he was complaining about?

    no, the linesmen called it in, but the chair umpire said it was out.

    Oh thanks! I only heard the commentator's hate speech on it and that's what he said. Seems strange...

    I have to say it looked in to me.

    Its just so hard to tell if it was in/out, even with Troicki's camera view zoomed in to the mark. But I'd agree from what little clarity the video shows, it 'appears' it caught the line.

    btw, is there a reason why hawk-eye isn't used in these clay tournaments? I don't see why not - isn't this case the prime example of why hawk-eye is used in the first place.

    p.s. I love how they dont even show a shot of Gulbis even once throughout the video - cuz he was literally just sitting on his seat thinking 'been there done that'. And just calm throughout waiting patiently for it to end. Even when Troicki started yelling initially, Gulbis doesn't even turn around to see whats going on - he knows this script too well.

    Haha great vid. The commentator got pretty excited repeating "this is sensational stuff!" during the rant and the crowd loved it. Looked in to me and Troicki seems like a pretty chill guy from his interviews.

    In related videos lol

    Nalbandian's was on a whole new level...worse than arguing, guy literally made the linesmen bleed. And gets disqualified in a final

    Troicki was right, that ball caught the line. They need to employ hawkeye at clay courts more often even though clay leaves a mark. I have seen a lot of doubtfull line calls in the last couple of tournaments

    And proceeded to apologize by blaming the ATP.

    Good call, good call!
