@ElSpewtardo I guess you are right. I don't think del Potro should've been allowed to challenge in this particular point. That's an umpire problem, not Hawk eye problem like you say.

@sultanabran1 I think Hawkeye has been great for tennis. To say otherwise is ridiculous. This is a matter of abusing the challenge rules not hawkeye. Long gone are the days of players complaining over bad line calls o crucial points. I bet you any pro tennis player says having hawkeye is a good thing.

I like seeing this side of Federer. He swears with class like Sean Connery. Hawk eye is stupid too. Done more damage to tennis than good.

It is just so obviously unfair that Roger has to say the F word, even though normally he has one of the coldest faces in such important matches

yeah what a dumb umpire!! I watched this match and there are so many freaking calls that favored delpotro including the point where Fed scored an ACE delpo said he wasn't ready even though he was in the ready position bouncing on his toes then after that ace he said he wasn't ready jeez its like they dont want fed to set a record in flushing cuz of tilden

FED was right i have never seen a challenge so late before. LOL i never knew he said the F word. I knew he said the shit but wow. Roger probably thought he should have been off court by that time.
