Hello everyone 👋, 1. After listening to the audio over and over again, I made a mistake at 3:04. I think Anisimova said, "Why am I f***ing pushing?!" or "Why am I f***ing pushy?!" Apologies to you guys and Amanda. 2. Ostapenko calling Rybakina a "f***ing bitch" is merely a speculation from Stefan Vukov. 3. Is that guy in the background at 4:08 Casper Ruud and Tennys Sandgren's son?
Why am i fucking pushing "
I thought that was Tom Hill, Sakarri's long time coach. He's probably doing a little scouting. And AA def was talking about pushing.
Lmaoo😂😂😂
I love your channel Mr/Mme. I'm here since 5-6 or 7 years but with another Nickname of course. 🫶
Kudermetova has a great memory, to be able to recall not just the match and opponent, but even the location of the previous bad call.
I will take this as sarcasm.
Because it screwed her at the same event. She is going to remember bad memories like that, I suspect most people would.
For sure she was correct that the ball was outside the line for the recent one - it was very clear.
You are a legend for even bringing up the moment kudermotova talked about against barty
I was trying to channel The Last of Us Part II flashbacking vibes 😬
@@TennisAdvocate Good Job with the example what happened to her against Barty
Kudermetova wasn’t mad, she was disappointed.
Hahahahaha
Lool
Okay but Kudermetova was right
Definitely.
'But he is very old'!!!! Haha
@@TheDersertAirtotally right. Hahaha.
Zhang is confused, again.
We already know that umpire Jennifer Zhang is dumbest umpire ever.
There’s a constant with Zhang. Whenever she’s exposed to a conflict she does not know how to react.
ShOw Me thE mArK is all we need to know about clay court szn 🤣
6:30 Why in the world is still Zhang working as chair umpire?? She's FAMOUS for being BLIND
And for having extremely short memory.
fr i ask this every vid
She’s terrible. Not paying attention, forgetting things, misinterpreting the rules and on and on
@@Mattmerrison Couldn't agree with you more. 👍
Checked wikipedia and she still has a gold badge so she is still working
Zhang's interpretation of the rules is... interesting. Would love to see a rulebook and see if it's accurate. "Well, there is clearly a mark showing the call was botched and the ball was out, but since no other mark exists, we go with the original call." Like... what???
She’s completely incompetent. She is in every one of these videos making a terrible call, or telling the players she didn’t see something clearly.
@@tennislegendsonlineretrotennis but Zhangs got a husband if I’m not mistaken tho😂 I do agree with her having bad calls from time to time
@@tennislegendsonlineretrotennis Shut up homophobe, she’s not even openly gay. I think she even has a husband!
@@tennislegendsonlineretrotennisI don't know what any of that has to do with it. Whether she's a lesbian or not, she makes some shocking calls
Sakkari - "the ball bounced out on the stands". Rus - reaching the ball quite comfortably 😀
lol Rus even return it.
8:34 "he's very old" 💀💀💀
5:55 Kudermetova tbt killing me,, didn't expect that one XD Great job Advocate, never stop making this stuff please
🙏💚
Zhang is a terrible umpire
Sakkari trying to cheat again and Cornet complaining about her opponent having a medical :D
Putintseva actually making a legit point. They really do need to design the courts for the players first. Otherwise what is the point? Its hardly a showdown of player v player when theres a circus sharing the arena, and rowdy fans, and peoples phones ringing and a shiny new Porsche parked in the corner
I agree but she would've found something else to complain about.
hardly any people watching. Might as well stop sponsoring tennis.
Kudermetova and her memory are at another level
Anisimova calling herself a 🐱 is sending me 💀💀💀
I died man 😂😂😂😂
Sorry guys, I think she said, "Why am I f***ing pushing?!" or "Why am I f***ing pushy?!"
@@TennisAdvocate Definitely sounds like pussy.
@@TennisAdvocateI definitely think it’s pushing
@JesusLovesMe But 😌🕯⛪📔🙏⛪
That Zhang lady is one of the WORST chair umpires I’ve ever seen. She’s never certain on anything. How did she get to this level?
10 times out of 10 that chair umpire Zhang always fudges something up, she’s embarrassingly terrible 😂
Can’t believe she’s not too ashamed to step foot on court at this point. If I made a mistake as horrible as hers here I would consider quitting. She manages to do this on a weekly basis. She’s so stupid it’s mind boggling
In Cornet vs Kalinskaya's match, Cornet said manyyyyy other things in french during the match... 😅😅😅
mind to mention them for us non-French speakers?
Wow with flashback of Kudermetova. Nice edit. ❤
🙏💚
For the first time ever Putintseva had a valid argument
Well, that line umpire IS very old… 💀
Yes. So old that he wasn't able to see correct mark.
Old, but not too old to lie about where it bounced!
How can Cornet even breathe? 😢😅
zhang gotta be the worst umpire ever 🤣🤣
I actually think the umpire in the Kudermetova match was trying to tell her via body language that old line judge would probably pay for it (Lose his job)
(6:17) how is Zhang still an umpire? She made so many terrible mistakes.
It's ridiculous that they are still messing about with marks on the court for clay. Just use Hawkeye like all the other tournaments
That costs a lot of money. Most tournaments are probably barely breakeven.
@@JK-vc7ie They manage it for hard courts, so they should be able to do it for clay.
Yes! It's so frustrating watching these mistakes, when they have the means to eliminate them.
These videos would have way less content with hawk eye. So let’s keep hawk eye away. 😂
@@freakytea2815 not all hard courts, just the big tournaments mostly
You wouldn´t have any videos, if there was a Hawk eye on clay, if Zhang quit her job and Putintseva with Ostapenko retired 🤣
Oh my god, Vondrousova's arms 😮
It is time they started using the automated line calls for clay courts and eliminate unnecessary unhuman errors.
Then we'd have much fewer of these highlights!
Totally agree with that!
Zhang is probably one of the worst referees Tennis has ever seen. I remember so many incidents with her where she was completely false with her decisions. I wonder why she is still on Tour?
Jenny Zhang is so messy; I can't.
She's still Jenny from the block
One thing I will NEVER understand about Tennis, why dont they just use instant replay??? If there is a dispute, look at one of the 50 cameras recording the action and get it right!! Why elave it up to judgement which is sometimes wrong???
Even if some of these players are wrong, why do we still have no hawkeye at these tournaments? Players have been complaining about these calls for ages and nothing has changed on clay. It’s ridiculous!
Somehow these videos make me think Sakkari does not have a very high IQ... Like every time she either cheats or she doesnt get the rules lol
I really think she’s just really dumb. She’s had some cheating attempts, but the majority of her issues are over her not understanding extremely basic rules. No idea how she has so little awareness or why her coach hasn’t taught her… you know… the rules
@@colesmith7509 well... I wasnt really serious but she kinda wants it both way as long as it benefits her. Just weird that she can get so enraged every time when she should know better
She is Greek as well as Tsitsipas, coincidence?
@@marianagaoka9687 youre an idiot... coincidence?
@@marianagaoka9687 Are you insulting all the Greek ppl or am I reading this wrong? How dumb are you?
Holy shit, that Zheng's ball was as obviously out as that infamous McEnroe serve as in, almost for the very same reasons. You can clearly see clay fly up as the ball hits out
Sakkari’s argument is so bad. She’s trying to say the ball was in and she’s talking how it bounced way out into the stands? The umpire even does everything Sakkari asks for and she still finds ways to keep complaining. I feel bad for Cornet. How are you incapable of continuing until someone comes to look at your hands and then all of a sudden you come back from down a break to win the set? It’s a shame to see tactics like that actually working
12:01 Actually the call OUT was exactly at the time Rybakina was hitting the ball, thus affecting her concentration.
eh when the balls coming at you that fast you’re already locked in it and know how you’re going to return, right up until contact, an out call at contact would barely make a difference atp
She made contact a second before the call, the umpire was right.
Nah, Rybakina was trying to squeeze an advantage here.
ostapenko is so charming!!!
that feeling when you're watching a clip of an ostapenko game, by far the biggest drama queen and frankly ridiculous player on the WTA, and yet it's not her causing the drama. so confused
6:12 - 7:58 Ok now the Kudermetova topsy turvy was something else!!! 😂😂😂 You can totally understand her situation 😆
Tennis Advocate, you should start making your own merchandise, namely T-shirts and hoodies and coffee cups and things like that, and one of your logos should be "show me the mark" 🤣
I've had a merch store for four years but have only sold two t-shirts in that whole time lmao 🤣
Kudermetova could only be talking about the blind as a bat umpire Zhang lol. The worst umpire of all time.
She is not just blind as bat, but also with extremely short memory.
We all might have our opinion about whether Federer, Nadal or Djokovic is the GOAT, but we all tennis fans in the world agree that Zhang is the worst umpire of all times.
Zhang is the worst umpire in history
I can easily believe that lovely Sorana is correct while complaining about the condition of that one court in Foro Italico. I have been to the tournament for couple of times and remember already in 2012 Jarmila Gajdosova complaining about that court and as I watched the bounces and general condition of it I saw it was nowhere near the level it should be in a WTA tournament. And they still haven't been able to fix that court? If they can't fix it, there shouldn't be any matches on it.
Rome is also the place where Simona got 2 bad injuries in 2017 and 2021 (which has totally messed up her career)
Rybakina's coach pisses me off
Great video ... but they really need to start using hawk eye ... makes no sense at all why they are not using it
Ostapenko- as always true to form 😆
lovely isn't she?
Rome was insane for everyone the worst tournament organization I've ever seen in 15 years this level it's f*cking master if it's a 250 ok reasonable
The problem in Rome was the rain, not the organization. Spain Open was a mess in organization compared to Rome.
8:28 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he's very old... LoL she was really upset with that uncertain call...
Love those nasty quirks of Ostapenko! Rybakina sure showed her!
vukov is the most annoying coach change my mind
Nice Video👍👍
🙏💚
We need t-shirts "Show me the mark"
If anyone is as bad in their job as Zhang, they would get fired 100%
The he’s very old made me think of Happy Gilmore 😂
5:10 that was way out. I watched it over and over and you can see the clay fly up miles from the line.
One other thing...I would suggest not tapping your racket on the mark but rather draw a circle around it. That is what we did on clay and in that way the umpire cannot say that you caused the mark.
Lol at sakkari, how about you not knowing the mark when its in your favor.
Ostapenko has to be one of the most hated player on tour
Zhang is a terrible umpire
They need more cameras like all 360 cameras
Ostapenko a rainha desses compilados! Kkkkkk.
What a courageous win by Kalinskaya! She literally could not continue and then somehow won the set and 3 set match! Move aside 1980 miracle on ice, this is the real miracle! ..unless
3:05 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rybakina's coach is such a weirdo, always sticking his nose when it's none of his business, and in Ostapenko's case I am pretty sure that what he heard wasn't what really was said
Oh I think Ostapenko wasn't handing out compliments.
@@teddyirons8240 Both can be right at the same time: Ostapenko talking shit, and Vukov being an a$$hole.
She really said bad words in russian language
Ostapenko yet again showing herself to be the most miserable tennis player in history. I wish she'd stop playing and get a job she likes. Maybe on the deli counter at a supermarket? Or an usherette selling choc ices?
No one on the planet would miss her goddamn outfits
Sakkari has become one of the most unlikable cheaters on tour
Cheating runs in her blood. Along with cheatsipas
Guys dnt you have VAR cameras to review all this
Kudermetova: “He is very old.”
Kuder is mother
In this day and age, why can't we replace all the line judges with machines?
Zhang is so incompetent an umpire; she should be tested and examined and made to prove that she deserves to sit in that chair!!! "that's not the mark" but she cannot herself say where the mark is!!! pure stupidity.

Why is Miriam Bley calling half the matches in these videos every time? lol
OMG all my favorite player in this video ( Elena, Amanda ( miss u ), Yulia, Veronika.... ) 😅🤪 I was dead when i heard Veronika saying "he is very old" ( i was watching live ), on one side it was honest but so cute :) 16 great minutes in this video thanks :)
🙏💚
Zhang is always absentminded & Blind.
This just shows why they desperately need to use Hawkeye, the technology has been available for years but yet they still chose not to use it. Clay is notorious for bad balls even with checking the marks, so idk why they haven’t switched yet
Clear out on Kudermetova’s game, the linesman is marksless
Who is Bley? New alves?
What about Maria vs In Albon I thought for sure they would be in here
Ostapenko got screwed there at the end she had the momentum
She deserves it for that outfit
I started watching these "Drama" videos thinking these ladies are just Drama Queens but after watching many they are correct at least half the time and the linesmen/women and the chair are very often wrong. Perhaps they carry on too long but this is their livelyhood and they are fighters. BTW that J Zhang is a disgrace.
Please someone give that Zhang umpire another job
6:30 emipre is soooooo wrong
Get rid of umpires already
I would be a terrible umpire because i would do anything Cirstea ever wanted every time. God I’m a simp for that woman
Sakkara is actress like tsitsi
If they only allow timeouts on your own serve, it will stop all gamesmanship. You need an “immediate” timeout on my serve? Fine, I get a free service hold, now it’s your serve and you can have your timeout.
The problem with that is, that there are still issues with real injuries etc that need attending to. I mean let´s say you lose 1st set, you´re in the 2nd set down 5-3 and opponent is gonna serve for the match, the point where it becomes 5-3 you twist your ankle, so you should give up the whole match cuz you twist your ankle, it´s just that the refs have no viable options to really check if the injury is real enough or not, I´d say use doctors of the tournament, who determine if she has to play on RN, or can have his/her own physio on the court.
@@007696191000 I notice nobody ever needs a timeout on his/her own serve. They actually changed the rule, now you can only take a timeout at a changeover. If it’s 2-2, you forfeit a game to 3-2, then get your timeout. This just happened at the 2023 French Open.
Sakkari now appearing in every video and having some of the longest rants. I swear she never used to be like this and had a relatively balanced mentality. Seems to be showing a bad phase
I would be furious if i was cornet
up 3-0 taking that much time?
Yeah “injured” Kalinskaya bounces her racket in her aching hand while celebrating
Rybakina gets screwed in everyone of these videos haha, shes right 100% of the time
not a fan of Kudermetova but she was 100% right in both of these
The music on changeovers now. Does anyone at the match actually enjoy them? If people want to hear music like they can put their own headphones on rather than subjecting every single person in the house to their crap tunes where they like it or not. What a shame. I pray that it never comes to Wimbledon.
I’m sure Anisimova said “why am I ducking pushing”
J. Zhang is highly incapable
So nasty!
