30-40.
Point penalty, Mr. Nishioka.
15 loves.
Validation, ball abuse, game penalty, Mr. Nishioka.
Game.
Time.
15 loves.
Game, 7 match.
Oh, okay.
A little bit of spice to start off set 2.
Just waiting for an apology maybe here.
Love it.
Love the sky.
So good.
That's what it's all about.
Thank you.
Oh, Aruna sees the funny side.
Ready for play, please.
Thank you.
I will wait for your cue to come down.
We are playing tennis.
You didn't do anything.
You apologized and I saw.
No, no, no.
Yeah, okay.
So he did apologize, Aruna.
Apparently he apologized immediately.
I don't know whether maybe Medvedev didn't see it.
He said, he said, he said.
I saw, I saw, he said, he said.
Exactly.
Okay.
Here's the new Medvedev.
That's the one we're talking about.
2024 version.
Well, Medvedev's quest to complete the set of titles
and all the hardcore Masters events goes on.
A little bit of spice and drama.
Point number 22.
Oh, my.
Oh, my goodness.
Has he made that?
Zverev thinks it's wise.
And it is.
Oh, the audacity to go for the first underarm serve of this match.
At 5-all, 30-40.
Have we just witnessed?
News.
Goodness.
Dankeschön.
Artefis comes through the game.
Zverev is saying something to Fis.
What is going on here?
I mean, I'm guessing it's about the underarm serve.
Being spoken to.
I thought he was just asking.
I couldn't hear Zverev.
Well, I think it's just because they came.
It obviously looked like it had potential to kick off a bit.
So that's why the umpire just came down to intervene.
But I can only think it's Zverev just unhappy that he's hit that underarm serve.
I mean, I don't really know why.
Zero respect, I think I just saw.
Artefis picks up his first ATP 500 level title here in Hamburg.
A frosty handshake.
Well, you know, the clock starts.
Why are you doing this to me, man?
The clock starts automatically.
I'm the best in the tournament.
I'm the most consistent player on the tournament.
Just listen, it might help if you listen.
The clock starts automatically, so you really have to keep watching the clock.
I have no control over that.
Why are you guys against me suddenly?
I don't understand.
The last few months have been terrible.
I don't understand what got into you.
Well, that's not a correct statement.
I'm not against you.
I'm not against anybody.
I haven't seen any of my opponents get a time violation except myself.
Well, maybe if you watch more matches.
We give lots of time violations.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
There are some players out there that are much worse than me.
Okay, I'm sure they get time violations.
But the best thing to do is to talk about this match.
On that serve, you were too slow.
You need to keep watching the clock.
I'm respecting.
I'm like almost ready to serve.
Yeah, but you're not.
You have to keep watching the clock and keep up.
Because I need to talk.
You have to give me a reason.
We need to have a conversation because of the time.
What's the reason?
The time.
The issue is the time.
The time violation is the time.
The double fumble that you just took away from me.
That's the issue.
Okay.
You have never played tennis in your life?
I have, yeah.
You have no clue about tennis.
It seems like it.
I'm not as good as you are.
No, I know.
But I've played tennis.
Definitely, you have no career.
You're probably playing serve and volley every single time.
Anyway.
Tennis is a physical sport and we need some time over there.
Yeah.
You have to show some compassion because you are showing compassion.
It's a physical sport.
We're not throwing darts out here, okay?
We have the clocks.
You can see the clocks.
I'm in charge.
I'll get the supervisor.
We'll talk about it.
Now is the time.
No.
Now.
And I talk to him because you seem to have...
I can get him.
You seem...
Like you have no idea what you're doing.
So I need to talk to the supervisor.
I can get him for the next changeover.
No, no, no.
For this changeover.
We can't stop for this.
I cannot stop.
If you're gonna gift a game like this to my opponent, I need to talk to the supervisor.
I'm following the rules.
No, no, no.
If you're gonna gift a serve to my opponent, we need to talk about it.
You have to get him at the next changeover.
Well, your guy here decided to give me a time violation for something completely unreasonable
after having to play so many rallies.
He probably never felt how it is being out here in 40 degree heat playing tennis.
Yeah.
Someone called out earlier on.
It can't be changed.
That's the thing.
The spectator calling out.
He can't do anything about that.
The umpire's not gonna change this.
It's juice.
Borges is now gonna have a conversation with the umpire.
You can understand why he's upset.
He wants the supervisor.
And let's quit misreading that.
It was a call from...
It wasn't a call from the coach or...
It was a call from the spectator.
And he shouldn't be punished because of that.
This is just a mistake.
They've got to get this sorted.
I think they're gonna replay it.
Yes.
He's lost the point.
This cannot be.
It's a dreadful mistake.
And it could be an important one.
How he's lost the point.
I mean, I think the umpire's now maybe saying that he felt that Borges stopped,
but he didn't challenge the call.
Darine should help out here as well, I think.
He knows what's happened.
These guys have made a mess of this.
Oh boy.
You very rarely see a decision as poor as this.
He missed the next shot.
He missed the next shot and the umpire...
He didn't call hindrance.
No.
You may be.
Wow.
That is deeply disturbing.
Can you believe it?
That's gone down to the court, surely.
What do you mean?
It's your call.
Yeah, yeah. No, it's all... You got it.
That's why I asked about the replay.
Of course, the US Open, you'll be able to review this.
Yeah.
That's why I said about the replay earlier.
The replay.
I might look like an idiot now because people say I'm not being fair,
but I was looking at him.
Yeah, I completely believe that Jack does not know whether he got this or not.
So I ruled that the ball bounced and hit it off the frame, over the net.
Completely fair shot in my mind.
Then it's a game, set, match.
How did you see it?
I looked from behind. I cannot tell you.
And yes, I'll shake his hand and the match will be over.
That's how I saw it.
And if I see I'm wrong, then I'll admit I understand that.
I can't get it myself.
It doesn't matter where we play.
We don't provide coffee.
That's also something that Shandwe have been very aware of come to this one.
Did you say someone was pouring water over him?
I think that's what he said.
So someone was hosing down the court behind this one.
He's watering over there.
No, no, I believe you are talking.
He watered the court and he put water through the fence directly on him.
We replay the point because he stopped because of the...
Well, yes, also the supervisor is over there and he told me that that is correct.
Yeah, you can just see the hose.
But that has just happened at 5-all.
In a final set tiebreak.
I mean, this match has just had everything.
He's landing.
He's made that.
Time violation, loss of serve, Mr. Tiapo.
I tossed the ball.
No, I tossed the ball.
At the line, I tossed the ball.
No, I tossed the ball.
I was ready to serve.
I'm not buying this.
It's a second serve now.
I tossed the ball.
I was ready to serve.
Dude, that's the rule.
The ball goes up.
How am I not ready to serve?
Second serve.
Two sets of one.
Five, seven.
Seven, six.
F*** you, man.
F*** you.
Seriously, man.
F*** you.
You just f***ing mess.
How are you going to do that?
What?
All you guys enjoy entertainment, you f***ing f*** up.
Only for my husband.
Yeah, loads of little bees are these that are circling ahead.
Sheesh, look how many there are.
Mohammed said there were bees, didn't he?
Yeah.
It's horrendous.
Look at them.
There's definitely bees.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's quite hard to tell, isn't it?
They're quite big, aren't they?
Oh my goodness.
That is our spider cam.
That is obviously very popular.
With bees.
Excuse me, that's called bird cam.
Are those all bees?
Yeah, they are.
I guess it's the bird and the bees.
As our director said, he's on top of things today.
He really is.
Coming to the tail end of the tournament.
One of the more bizarre suspensions at play.
That is a scary thing to see.
You are very, very likely never to see again.
Play suspended because of a bee invasion out on Stadium One.
So that's why a little area.
There's Lance.
What a hero.
No protective gear whatsoever needed for this guy.
Coming to the weekend is an incident.
So what could we have?
The Bee Gees.
I mean, that would be right up my alley.
The Beatles.
Yes, of course.
I'm enriched.
Yes.
Oh, this is just brilliant.
Do your job, man.
Come on.
Look, he's getting selfies with him.
This is an external risk.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on, guys.
Let me do my job.
Yeah, I'm on the job here.
Oh, this is just fantastic.
We've got to add this to the list.
Well, he didn't think this was going to be happening, did he?
Oh, what a champion.
Claps him off.
Yeah, it was strange.
I've never seen something like that in a tennis match.
When we ran out the court, we were watching, you know, the bee invasion on the TV over
there.
And, yeah, we laughed a lot about the words from Mohamed that the bee invasion, it was
funny for me.
But, yeah, it's going to be remembered for that.
Not for the tennis, not for anything else, but for the bees.
But, yeah, it was a great match.
I was really focused on the locker room, waiting for the match.
And I think I did pretty well the things before the match began again.
Well, I'm not going to lie.
I'm a little bit afraid of the bees.
So I was seeing a few bees, you know, warming up.
So I, you know, I didn't have my 100% with the bees over there.
So I was a little bit frustrated because the referees told me, let's try.
And I was not 100% sure about starting again.
But, yeah, once the match started again, I had to stay away from the bees and really
focus on the match.
