Andy Murray, que he fell in the first round of the Masters 1000 in Rome against Fabio Fognini in three sets (6-4, 4-6 and 6-4), regretted the attitude of the Italian public after they protested a ball that had gone outside.
During the match, in one of the points Fognini made a balloon that the linesman and the chair umpire, Mohamed Lahyani, gave as good, something that Murray protested, who sang it out.
A dialogue then began between the British tennis player and the chair umpire, who came down to see the blow. “He has given a little here on the line. The line has sung it well, he plays a little here. You know? He is playing,” Lahyani explained to Murray, to which the tennis player responded. “You can see the mark of the ball there.” And he insisted: How could you see that that ball is good? How is it possible?”.
The linesman again explained his decision. “Andy, I’m seeing it here the same way, a little bit.” Before play resumed, Murray stated: “Know that you’ve been wrong.” Subsequently, the replay of the play in Hawk’s Eye determined that the ball had been bad, as Murray had pointed out.
Subsequently, in networks, the British responded to a tweet in which what happened was seen: “The stadium full of Italians booing and whistling because they thought that he wanted to deceive Fabio at a point that he left because the chair umpire could not read a mark correctly. Greetings”.
