Week 25 - ATP 250 - Nottingham (grass)


Evo is very lucky to still be in this. Early in the breaker the umpire made a (correct) over rule but should have awarded the point to Berankis. Who then lost it mentally.

Those kind of decisions are harsh on the player but it was the right decision to replay the point. Evo had a racket on the ball and in those circumstances the point almost always gets replayed, the only exceptions tend to be where the call was late so couldn't have influenced the players shot. Besides it was 1-1 in the tie break (IIRC) and if Berankis did indeed lose it mentally just because of that one decision then that's on him. He also managed to get 3-3 after that and still appeared focused so I don't think your suggestion that he lost it mentally after that point really holds.

In any event if Evo was a bit lucky that is what sometimes happens when you stick in there in a match where you have been outplayed, which he was the vast majority of the first two sets. He had tough service games in the 2nd set at 3-3, 4-4 and 5-5 but came through all of them all.

And lets not forget a big well done to the organisers for scheduling things so that Evo and Kyle played at the same time. Good one guys, really thought that through didn't you.

The BBC hasn't mentioned Evo's win yet on their tennis page.

And sadly not untypical. One wonders what part of scheduling to make it a better day for home fans, supporters of British tennis, comes into some organisers thinking ?!

Yes, very much agree on both counts if that was the situation. If Evo had a racket on the ball to possibly make some sort of return that's all that matters, it is not for the umpire to judge how likely he was to win the point or even make a return if it was possible. And indeed what followed was on Berankis if he let it effect him far too much, which appears arguable anyway.

Lucky probably a bit, but sounds a correct decision.

No one seems to have mentioned as to why Kyle's match wasn't on centre, when it was the MOTD. Court 2 was full to capacity, whilst Evo's match on centre was half full.

 Yep very strange. You can argue the merits of Edmund v Evo but Dolgopolov is a much bigger draw than Berankis
