When we saw the score this morning between Arthur Fils and Stefanos Tsitsipas (6-1, 6-0), the easiest thing to think was that something strange had happened in that match. Or rather, something one of the players managed and the other did not. In this case, it seems to have been very dim lighting that did not allow for a clear view of the ball. The Greek didn't stop complaining about it, although this did not help him temper the match.
“You should be ashamed. Have you ever seen me serve and miss a forehand for five hours straight? That doesn't happen. I can't see the ball, I don't know how he sees it,” the Athenian player shouted at the chair umpire, although the umpire could do little as Fils was portraying one of the most perfect matches of his career.
