Just rehashing some of the previously mentioned points here: First, although it looks like Bruno did not foot fault, one cannot say that for certain because the viewer might not have the right angle, or more accurately the perspective of the line judge. Second, foot faulting is more common than people think, and is not only reserved for the "serve-and-volleyers". It might be worth mentioning that people "tend" to "toe the line" or shuffle in stressful situations or tired
@sarasmilepiano This is not to say that Bruno did those things. Lastly, the behavior of Mr. Echagaray was unacceptable, no excuses. Part of being a professional is controlling your emotions and not acting like a temper tantrum toddler after a lost point- even on match point. This hurts not only the player who lost but everyone involved in that match (from the fans to the people working at the venue).
Also, the guy commentating sounds as though someone killed Obama... 'I mean, I'm just in a state of shock, the whole crowd, 250 people here, everyone is in a state of shock.... it's just, (sigh), it's just incredible...' get over it, it's not like anyone died
Officials are guided by knowledge of the rules that they should apply with wisdom. There are times they should use common sense and logic in recognizing if it is a "let go" situation. Basketball refs encounter this so many times, so they pretty much have it down pat. Lines people are faced with this once or twice in a lifetime.
Posters here supporting the call as the correct one are missing the spirit of the rule and focusing on the letter.
The announcer really isn't a full time tennis commentator. He moonlights as a tennis commentator for a second income to his regular job as the head librarian for the city of Dallas.
that was a total bs call. Referees are supposed to use discretion when making close calls like that, especially on match point. That referee was a tool.
Foot Fault or not, he should not have smashed his racquet or lost his temper. He could have asked the line judge/umpire nicely instead of acting like a retarded monkey.
@Timothy9BALA lol what do you think it was when he stood there for like ten seconds? He was looking at the chair ump to see if it would actually happen, and it did. Stop acting like nice guys always win. They don't, faggot.
"I mean, I'm in a state of shock, the whole crowd, we've got 250 people her-.....scratch that, 3 people here, everyone.....is in a state of shock right now."
does anyone else get the feeling that this commentator used be a wild life expert for some show on animal planet. As he whispers he sounds like he is filming some lions or something, hahahaha. I love it!
he talks like those guys in animal planet on discovery channel when they observe a certain animal from a distance and strictly comment on every move it has made.
lol the people hating on the umpires need to go to hell. If they see it, are they not supposed to call it? if its Serena? or some challenger? Rules are rules people.
@7399me NO the Fucking lines man needs to get some glasses as hard as this guy prolly works then the empire calls his shit out just to end the match he should have redun the point shit like that just doesnt fly on match point that empire definitly had bad blood for the player
when has complaining to a line judge ever actually worked?? please name one time. like they're gonna say "oh yeah, you were right" hahahaha. this guy didn't foot fault that's the whole point of this video being here, it's pretty clear he didn't foot fault. even if he did what kind of a dick calls a foot fault when it's not totally blatant, on match point? douchebag just wanted to feel like he was a 'part' of the match
And look, I don't care if the match is Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon, and it's set point in the fifth set and both men have 16 majors (maybe two or three years from now) so the winner determines who the GOAT is, if either Federer or Nadal commits a foot fault, they SHOULD be called for it, and if I were an umpire, I'd call it every time.
@cougarsrule45 I don't think you would ;) I really really don't think you would. But ok. You are right that it's a rule it's just my opinion that there are some situations where you should just not call a FF. Also this guy really doesn't seem to foot-fault at all from this angle, both his feet are behind the line until after he hits the ball and jumps into the court.
Yes I would, UNDER THE CURRENT RULES. Now, I think every pro would agree that having a foot fault called on match point is a crappy way to lose. So, here's my solution. If a foot fault is called ON MATCH POINT ONLY (not on just set point), then the player should get another second serve. The penalty should come on the next point. That player should forfeit his next first serve (meaning he only has one serve to get the next ball in). Is that fair.?
@cougarsrule45 I disagree with your points. The crux of the matter is a footfall is EXTREMELY hard to call accurately. There is no point in calling foot faults when it's too close to call similar to this situation...
Then why have the rule? The players make up the game, the players have the power to change this rule, but they haven't yet. As long as it is a rule, it should be called. The players need to get together and change the rule if they don't like it, plain and simple.
@cougarsrule45 No, my point is, FF is a judgement call. Much like the offensive foul in basketball. In the NBA. If you'd notice, d closing secs of a playoff, they normally let a lot of contact go. Refs would rather let the players win it thru their own skill rather than call the offensive or defensive foul. You don't hear anybody moving for the removal of the offensive foul in basketball do you?
See and to me that way of thinking represents a lack of integrity. Either a FF happened or it didn't. Either an offensive foul happened or it didn't. A player that commits an offensive foul has an unnatural advantage not based on skill over the other/defending player. Same with a FF. You've either got to come up with a system that perfectly calls these rules (impossible) OR, modify the rules such that end of match (or end of playoff) situations are a bit different.
Kind of like what the NFL did with changing the overtime rules ONLY for the playoffs when it means more. A FF is a sucky way to lose a match because one, it doesn't give you a huge advantage, and two it's a judgment call. So you change the rule on match points to where it doesn't cost you the match. You could also do it on service games where the match isn't necessarily lost but it gives the opposing players a break such that they can win the match on the next service game.
why smash the racquet? it's his foot that committed the fault.
instead of complaining to the line judge like any logical person would have (hell even Serena behaved more reasonably), he goes on a racquet-thrashing rampage around the court and, as the commentator keenly observes, "turns over the chair"
at this level you can't beat an umpire, it would be the end of his career... But it must've been really hard to keep himself from beating him lol, the umpire is so stupid, you don't call footfalt on matchpoint, (especially when there's no footfalt^^).
I love the commentator, he is in shock and talks so slowly...
@69wiwi69 I take issue with this. So you're saying we should suspend the rules just for matchpoint? That's like saying, you shouldn't call double faults on match point, because it's a less flashy ending. I do agree that you shouldn't call foot faults when there isn't one.
Yeah you're right, it's not what I wanted to say. It's just that this footfalt is far from being obvious, and I wanted to say that you don't call a footfalt on match point when you're not absolutely sure. If I were that umpire, I wouldn't call it until I'm entirely sure
@CrimsonFlameRTR No, just don't call FF on matchpoint when it's too close to call. Think about it, if you didn't call a FF (if he did FF) was the FF material to him winning the point if he eventually did? Most likely not. If you did call a FF and he didn't actually FF, was it material to him losing the point, yes 100%.
i once lost it (not due to a bad call or anything, but due to being pissed off at the mediocrytes who continue to suck the passion out of me at the club i worked at), where i went behind the court to get a ball, kicked one of the plastic chairs and got my foot stuck in it. i continued to try to shake the chair off my foot and finally flinged the chair over the fence. this made me think of that night. i could feel his pain.
No, Serena was called on a foot fault at 15-30 on her serve which made it 15-40 meaning match point for clijsters at which point she told the asian lineswoman she would shove the tennis ball down her throat and was consequently deducted a further point for unsportsmanlike conduct giving clijsters the match.
What douchbag would call a foot fault on match point......you just don't do that...what a prick.....but that is sooooooo funny what he does hahahahaha
Nice try there Qboy. I don't know whether it was an actual foot fault or not. Either way, this is not the way a match this close or any match really should end. It's like an unwritten rule
Even though I have a hunch that the call was total bullshit, he shouldn't have done all that. It was immature and the ITF should ban him! Smashing his racket is one thing, but doing it right in front of the linesman and flipping over the chair?! Come on! There's no need for that.
And some foot fault rules are total bullshit. If he seriously foot faulted in the generally accepted way, fine. But if it's like one of the ones Safin got called for because of where he started, then fuck that...
Sure it was a bad display, but seriously, who the f*** calls foot fault on such a point?! I don't care if it's in the rules...it's just plain malicious! The line judge should have ignored it - nobody would have known. Echagaray crossed the line, but given the circumstances I feel sympathy more than anything else.
how is serena williams worse? some people just like to hate other people. how after watching this atrocious display and compare it with what was a disgusting display on serena's behalf and say that hers was worse. NO WAY- this is the worst thing ive seen on youtube.

I still remember that Asian lines person was racist against Serena and made her lose the match. What a shame.

No, Serena was called on a foot fault at 15-30 on her serve which made it 15-40 meaning match point for clijsters at which point she told the asian lineswoman she would shove the tennis ball down her throat and was consequently deducted a further point for unsportsmanlike conduct giving clijsters the match.

Horrible call. It looke marginal at best. Never on a match point. Let the players decide the winner.

I was actually watching this match when it all took place. One of the worst calls I've ever seen but the reaction made it all worth it.

Nice try there Qboy. I don't know whether it was an actual foot fault or not. Either way, this is not the way a match this close or any match really should end. It's like an unwritten rule

Terrible call. Nobody wanted that call to be made. Nobody wants to win that way

Even though I have a hunch that the call was total bullshit, he shouldn't have done all that. It was immature and the ITF should ban him! Smashing his racket is one thing, but doing it right in front of the linesman and flipping over the chair?! Come on! There's no need for that.
And some foot fault rules are total bullshit. If he seriously foot faulted in the generally accepted way, fine. But if it's like one of the ones Safin got called for because of where he started, then fuck that...

Sure it was a bad display, but seriously, who the f*** calls foot fault on such a point?! I don't care if it's in the rules...it's just plain malicious! The line judge should have ignored it - nobody would have known. Echagaray crossed the line, but given the circumstances I feel sympathy more than anything else.

how is serena williams worse? some people just like to hate other people. how after watching this atrocious display and compare it with what was a disgusting display on serena's behalf and say that hers was worse. NO WAY- this is the worst thing ive seen on youtube.
