RE: Week 41 - Challenger (€42,500) - Kobstaedernes ATP Challenger, Kolding, Denmark - indoor hard


From MTF - Dodig's version of the events:

In his first match against Pedersen(local player) he got a couple of shady calls against him, line judges were kids aged 13-15(?????), after he thought one of his serves was good he went to the net and asked the linejudge/Kid if he was sure, the kid said it was very,very close but still out(serving speed of 200kmh) and laughed in his face; he won the match nevertheless; after the match he asked the supervisor how many elementary school kids are linejudges here, the supervisor said 6-7, and that he will change this(did not keep his promise); during the final in the tie breaker at 6-6* Boggo served a serve 20-30 cm out, Alex takes out the 2nd ball and prepares to serve, the umpire looks at the linejudge after 5 sec and says 7-6** Bogdanovic, he was furios, looked at the linejudge(an old lady) and she kept on smiling, he lost the following point, and asked for a toilet break before the third set, he was nervous, talking to himself, shouting a bit, and while walking out to the toilet said in croatian: ''Pizda''(pussy) to himself, and tehn afterwards ''Oh ****'', at the same moment they were changing line judges and that old lady probably thought he said to her:''Piece of ****'', went to the umpire and reported it, afterwards Dodig came back to the court and he was informed he lost because he told the line judge she was a Piece of ****. He took the trophy and flowers(gave it to a ballgirl) and went off court immediately, and in some corridor he smashed the trophy into the wall; nobody saw this, they could only hear something breking; he said that he works very hard, has to earn every single $ and he can't accept that some kids and awful judges hold in their hands if he will win a title or not, and taht he needs every $; HE apologized for his behaviour, he knows he was wrong, but the treatment he got was disgusting

No one saw him smash the trophy so thats OK??!!

If he is so hard up he should have sold it!

I do think it's a bit harsh losing all his points gained before the final though....but who cares!

Sounds frustrating but there's no justification for his outbursts afterwards.

Anyone else feel a title coming on here....he hasn't won one so far this year.

Well I called it after the second round (and thought it after the first round but didn't want to jinx it before he played a top 100 player).

Great to see Boggo back into the top 200 and he should be back into the top 150 where he belongs by the end of the year.

Obviously no excuse for Dodig's behaviour, but aren't you meant to have qualified officials calling the lines instead of school kids?

So, Dodig makes clear he's not happy with the cheeky schoolkids, they then go to the local old folks' carehome and bring some nice smiling old ladies and he's still not happy  wink.gif

Actually, I do agree 13 to 15 yo schoolkids doesn't seem right, but one wonders how old this "old lady" really was.

Anyone no what are the rules re officials, including line judges, at challenger level ?

Alex is around 150-155 in the race, so a steady remaining couple of weeks should see him cement his place in the top 150 :D

Calling the line judge a pizda would be worse than calling her a piece of **** anyway.

I see from this week's ATP rankings, Dodig has indeed got a big fat 0 for his final appearance in Kolding, and has dropped 3 places in the rankings, Boggo being one person passing him by.

Silly, silly boy  !!
