Ruud struck out with his arms towards the referee in the first set when the referee conceded a ball from Thiem.
Ruud pointed to a mark that showed the ball was out, but the referee thought it was the wrong mark and pointed to a mark right next to it, which was on the line.
Thus, Ruud missed a breakball in a very even first set, which was eventually won by Thiem.
– Too
But replays of the Hawk Eye system shown on Eurosport showed the ball was out.
– It is a pity. Because it was an important ball, it is difficult to know if he had something to say for the game. Unfortunately, that is the case. We have talked about it in this tournament, the judges are not good enough to judge. Perhaps the hawk eye would have been so easy to consider, his father Christian Ruud sighed to Eurosport.
Ruud had several break balls in the first set, but took advantage of several opportunities and only managed one break, which did not last.
– There were several occasions in the first set, but Thiem played very well throughout the match and was in the impossible corner for the rest of the match, sums up dad Christian Ruud to Eurosport.
