    What just happened in the Almagro/Klizan match?

    After Almagro holds to make it 3-0 in the third set, Klizan starts arguing with the umpire. It's a long argument and my shitty stream didn't have any commentators, so I had no idea what it was about. Klizan is visibly frustrated though and eventually even the supervisor comes out to speak with him. Based on his body language, Klizan loses the argument and when play is resumed, the score is 5-0 instead of 3-0?!?! Anyone ever see anything like this before?

    I wonder if the match would just be considered a push or no bet at that point.
    I didn't see or hear what happened, but for a player to be just awarded multiple games seems like action might not count.

    I wish...I had Klizan prematch and then live bet Almagro after the 2nd set and all the bets have been graded.

    hmmmm......sounds like you better off the official just awarding Almagro another game, then it wouldn't typically have been a completed match.

    This is a strange one.

    This is the first time I have ever heard this...I will upload the match highlight here later if there is one...
    The official score shows it is a completed match though, so I am not sure how the bet will be treated Just a guess, I guess it will be settled as normal bet.

    I think as long as the Ump says game, set, match, then all bets are valid. I remember a while back Dimitrov was forfeiting a couple points against Schwartzman by smashing his racket. I'm guessing the ump told him to stop arguing or I'll give the games to Almagro and Klizan didn't care since he was likely going to lose the 3rd set anyway.

    Im sure you guys are right......I guess you were best off Klizan just saying, "Screw it, I'm out of here" lol.

    SOunds like he probably should have.

    Thanks for the video. Such a mental act from him.
