Nicolas Jarry opponent Cameron Norrie of playing service during their fourth round collision in Wimbledon in Court no. 1.
British home hero Norrie struck a backward Crosscourt winner to get a two-set lead over Jarry 6-3, 7-6 (4) then left the court for a bathroom break.
This is when the Jarry qualified called the British to play the ball jump card.
An angry jarry told umpire chairs Eva Asraki-Moore He felt that Norrie was dancing the ball excessively before serving, then stopping as if he were ready to hit a second service, just to use the ball jump tactic again.
Jarry asked the Umpire chair to clarify the rule in that action.
“What is the rule there? The problem is. Is it normal to do it when you touch the other player?” Jarry asked Moore during the break.
“You have to intervene there or I have to suck it. That’s the real issue, it doesn’t matter the reason. It is the same as hitting the ball anywhere.”
The wonderful Chilean 6’7 “suggested that Norrie was throwing his return time with the tactic – although part of the case may be at Jarry’s height, it can only get a fee to go up and down from its printed return position.
“Something’s something he can control. It’s not a nervous note,” Jarry Moore told. “You think there is nothing I can do, so I just have to suck because he always does it.
“This is a reason for me to play with something that touches me. It can be changed. It’s not something that can’t be changed.”
Jarry’s qualification, which has scored six direct Wimbledon victories, is making offers to become the first male qualification since Bernard Tomic in 2011 that reached Wimbledon’s quarter -finals and was not happy with the ball jumping card game.
Chairman Umpire Moore heard the Chilean complaint and replied, “I will go open if I think there is a reason to get inside.”
This did not completely calm Jarry, who explained: “I do not want to force you to force you in nothing. I just want to do what the rules say.
“And if there is no rule, then tell me and I can’t do anything about it.”
Nr. World 143 Jarry is playing to become the sixth masculine qualification to reach Wimbledon’s quarterfinals joining John Mineroe (1977), Paul Annacone (1984), Ricardo Acuna (1985), Vladimir Voltchkov (2000) and Tomic (2011).
The bold Norrie, who was a college college in TCU, is not afraid to play tennis on your face against even elite opponents.
Norrie with left hand nailed Novak Djokovic, who turned his back and was leaving the net, on the ankle with a shot in the second group of their 2023 Roma Spicey collision.
Although he immediately raised a hand in forgiveness, she absolutely upset Djokovic who looked at the Briton in response.
While Norrie operated within the rules, Gjokovic suggested that it was disrespect for dirt.
Stressing that Norrie took a time of injury immediately before serving for the match and was constantly pumping himself shouting “Come on!”, Gjokovic said Britain pushed the borders of the sport and scored it.
“It wasn’t so much for that, but it was probably a combination of things,” Djokovic told the media in Rome. “From the beginning, I don’t know, he is doing all the things that were allowed.
“He’s been allowed to take a medical timeframe. He is allowed to hit a player. He is allowed to say C’mon in the face more or less every single point from the first game essentially.
“These are the things we players know in the closet room is not the right game, it’s not how we treat each other.”
Similarly, Frances Tifoe suggested that Norrie is not the rules of bending, but knows how to push player buttons.
After losing to Norrie in Wimbledon last Wednesday, American Frances Tiophoe British vocal fans said did not disturb him, but admitted that the constant roar of Norrie “Come!” Has it annoyed.
“I mean, he was super amplified. He was saying, C’mon, from the first match, which is obviously annoying, but that part worried me more than the crowd,” Tiephae said.
That second blast set by Jarry today seemed to light the Chilean for the third set.
Jarry rescued a match point with a big preface winner and Volley at 5-6 in the third tiebreaker, then destroyed a first money winner to catch the 9-7 switch to postpone the match into a fourth set.
