Nadal did not have officials turning a blind eye during his Shapo match. Nadal had the officials turning a blind eye for his time violations during his entire career.
So that was expected.

And, if we are going to start giving players an excuse for a loss because of the way the crowd behave, we can call Stan Smith (DC vs Romania) or Taylor Fritz (2023 RG) to tell us how you handle that. Medvedev had that match on his hands, and he let it go.

Giving excuse to Medvedev was not the point of this mental exercise. He faced adversity and he lost. Did not manage to overcome it. But there are different kinds of adversity. If I understood Ashkor correctly, he wanted examples when fairness and the sporting principles were violated, putting one of the competitors at disadvantage. I think of the recent markee matches this one is a best example.

I did not understand it as which match was "unfair" in a way that you would like to change the outcome. I read it as "which match would you like changed".
For me: Agassi def Sampras 2000 Aussie. Sampras was on his way to beat him and hitting a running FH (for a winner) in the 4th set TB he pulled a muscle in his leg. Dropped the 5th 6-1.

there are SO many, but I'll start with Jabeur/Vondrousova last year at Wimbledon. Jabeur would have been a worthier winner and better for the sport.

Roger, 2008 Wimbledon final. That one hurt. I though it was the turning point in Roger's invincibility that I was enjoying so much. I'd trade it for Roddick to beat Fed in the 2009 final so Andy would have his W.

If we go further in time, then the obvious choice is that Hamburg match between Graf and Seles. I wish security would caught that guy.

Not that I disagree, but the match was against Magdalena Maleeva.

Of course! You're correct. But in a grand scheme of things...

My wife says Kalinskaya looks a lot like Genie Bouchard..I must say I agree...

Indeed. A resemblance is there. They are both very pretty.

[ashkor87]

My wife is always right

[ptmcmahon]

Is she watching your posts too ?

Excellent memory. I didn't know that.

Excellent memory. I didn't know that.

I had to double check it - wasn't a 100% certain.

I 100% knew. I will always remember this. Burned in my memory. Always, especially as a fan of Monica, will be a deeply painful memory.
