- Djokovic: ‘Embarrassing we don’t have video replay’
- Briton’s Cincinnati Open run ended by Holger Rune
Novak Djokovic has called for the introduction of video reviews in tennis after the bizarre conclusion to Jack Draper’s match at the Cincinnati Open prompted a wider debate about the use of replays in the sport.
Draper, the British No 1, defeated Félix Auger-Aliassime of Canada 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 to reach the quarter-finals but the match ended in a heated argument with an angry Auger-Aliassime claiming to officials that Draper’s winning volley had gone into the ground first. The umpire, Greg Allensworth, was unable to view a replay and called the point in Draper’s favour.
