I honestly don't know what's the job of supervisors or what they are there for. Nothing changes ever
They’re basically a NPC
They come out to to court, say literally what the umpire says then walk away. So so pointless😂
They will judge on whether there has been an error in the rules. When a decision is made due to a judgement call, they won't intervene. As they weren't there, how can they have an opinion?
@@MarcoSpeaksNadsat he was called for a mistake in a call regarding the rules
@@guillerpuebla The rules were clear? Then it's not his job to do anything. The supervisor is a legislator: they make the rules and they may explain how to apply them. Wether if something is fault or not according to the rules, that's the judge (umpire) to determine.
Tbh, Bublik is right, those line judges were absolutely awful. But we wont get as much funny shit like that anymore with automatic line calling :(
Don't worry, Ostapenko will still find a way to argue with robots. "You think the robots are always 100% correct? How can they be?? It's still wrong. I can't believe you're not using your eyes, because you can clearly see..."
@@blackmanwhitesuit penko is hilarous she would definitely do that
Imagine McEnroe with these guys 😂
@@blackmanwhitesuit It happened a few times tho, hawk eye is not perfect.
I wouldn't be disappointed just to listen to Bublik argue for 17 minutes straight.
Might be the greatest tennis drama argument of all time, because he continued to make the right line calls and just said "by 2025, we won't even have to worry anymore". He was definitely being unsportsmanlike for holding up every point with talking (it wasn't distracting anyone but the crowd and chair lets be honest), but it was entertaining.
Hahahaha true. I want Bublik : The Movie
I think he could be a lawyer when he retires 😂
When he retires, I see a bright future as a lawyer for Bublik.
Gotta have brains to be a lawyer
@@AinSoph73which he does, him and medvedev are both very articulate
@@keegannelson8939 Medvedev yes, Bublik 🤣
@@keegannelson8939 russians are smart except for putin of course
@@leviyeo5792 he’s smart he’s just evil
Thank god Krygios got his white towels in the end. Can you imagine the absolute injustice of playing without white towels bro?
Hahah yeah but tbh they make the tournaments to focused on branding rather than just simplicity and catering to what the players themselves prefer
@@BananaBendr shut up
Nah but seriously all the players love white towels
@@BananaBendr money. money. money.
yo, honestly, like literally you got a point
Kyrgios just play 1 game this season and he still can enter this list. Nick is a GOAT of this tennis drama videos
🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMAOOOO
White towels pls
Paire begs to differ.
Moutet: "I don't deserve to be here"...that's right, you deserve to be in kindergarten.
More like preschool.
I cannot say it better: and with him I will send to the kg, Paire, Troicky and few others (cannot remember names😅)
I want a reality show with Moutet, Nishioka, Paire, Putintseva, and Ostapenko...it would be like endless pre-K recess arguments :-D
@@jeffvanderwerf3391 Why Nishioka, am I missing something? He lost his mind one time recently, but otherwise he's normally a super quiet and respectful player, no?
at the ITF Tourbaments 😂😂😂
I just realized that in 2025 when there is no line judges there won't be any content to watch on this channel 😭😭
Challenger bro
All the grand slams may not adopt the ATP policy. So we may still get content from them.
@@mikew4282They’ll block the videos on copyright grounds instead.
I wouldn't be so sure about it, i've seen players argue against the automatic net system a pair of times. 😂
@@Tiziown yeah there will be plenty of arguments for sure. Probably not as many unfortunately
Bublik argued more in one match than Borg, Edberg and Wilander did in their entire careers.
It’s the year 2074, Bublik is still arguing from the grave 😂
??? Um…he’ll definitely be alive in 50 years bro
@@AinSoph73I’m with Henry. Bublik didn’t exactly win the genetic lottery just look at him for Gods sake.
@@markieffmorris9263 🤣 ya’ll got me there
@@AinSoph73 average life expectancy for a man from Kazakhstan is 70, in 50 years time he would be 76 😂 literally just googled it, I love accidentally sort of being maybe correct.
@@markieffmorris9263bro hes 6’6 he def didnt lose
To be fair to Bublik in his match against Sinner...I have seen that chair umpire make MANY serious mistakes and blunders through the years. Considering how competitive it is to be a top chair umpire I'm surprised he is still near the top with his track record...same with Jenny Zhang...
After having watched pretty much all Tennis Advocate videos, I don’t know who’s a good umpire tbh. They all mess up. It’s like who messes up less than the rest. Richard Haigh (the one in Bublik’s match) has some of the most shocking mistakes too. He was in the Sinner-Djokovic match at Wimbledon with some outrageous decisions too. I thought he hates Djokovic but maybe he just loves Sinner lol
@@gabrielametodieva8360 Richard Haigh is highly incompetent, yet also arrogant and argumentative. Fergus Murphy is the dumbest upmire on the tour, and usually has no idea what has even transpired.
Bublik was right on the calls and wrong on how he went on and on and on and on about the score.
That’s usually how it goes. Players get frustrated about the incompetence around them and lack of power that they have to change things so they tend to overreact. Kyrgios is a perfect example of that pattern of behavior.
@@AinSoph73 exactly.
@@AinSoph73Yeh but then they lose focus and end up losing matches.
Currently, any high-ranking professional tennis player is essentially the boss of a small company and has 5 to 10, 15, or 20 people working for them, whom they pay a monthly salary. Winning tournaments, and not earning enough due to a few bad referee calls, can be devastating.
@@marestgondev every time someone posts a comment that shows they think about the bigger picture - an angel gets its wings.
I was having a one final glance at CZcams before turning to bed and sure enough this pops up! Sleep can wait another 17 min for sure!
They have ball boys picking up balls for them, someone to hold an umbrella, bring them towels and Nick still conplains about tournaments not looking after their players...
And he said “you” as if the umpire was the one controlling all of this
Hopefully he started playing (better) once these towels appeared
2:12 IMO Bublik is right here and should have been given the point
4:00 Looks like he was right again tbf, looks like call was made at the exact time Jannik hit the ball.
They gotta move Mallorca the courts are hideous every year
It's hard to maintain the grass in Spain, no?
With so many bad calls, I'd say the lines people were pro-Sinner in that match, but it also didn't help that Bubbles popped off instead of keeping his head in the game. Sinner later reached Top 4 and ATP Finals while Bubbie battles at 250s. At the top, mentality is EVERYTHING.
No Moutet, you really deserve to be here for us
Challenger Tour in Upper Right Hand Corner = Chaos
I love Bublik. I understand his point and I think he’s probably right because the players are the ones that pay for bad line calls and we get drama for free but at the same time… 👀
It’s a good day when Tennis Advocate uploads 😊
🙏💚
Tennis Umpires and Supervisors are the worst. They have Zero Accountability and will never accept their mistakes. It's about time ATP and WTA fire them.

Good job forgetting about wolf, he has also appeared in 2 videos
Rublik got a point and he stands his own ground consistently. He did not shout or swear or throw racket or throw ball. I like these kind of person, believe in his own while maintaining the point from start to finish consistently. He is calm. Not like other dramas.
I think throughout this Sinner x Bublik match Bublik cussed more in 1 minute than I did in my entire life 😂 in russian but there are translations on twitter I thought u got the clip
Bro you are the best because you dont wait days before posting nr2, you post like netflix straight the whole series. Bravo
🙏💚
I think the main issue with haigh is that he is just so smug for no reason, even when he is wrong half the time. Like come on man just admit that you made a mistake. Bublik is extremely entertaining and very well-spoken. He reminds me of medvedev they both want the purity in tennis to remain intact. Bublik just wants more fun as well. I'm really glad that he managed to win a 500 with his style of play, and that he had a great wimbledon after, it was so deserved. I think it would have been hilarious if bublik just asked sinner directly "hey man am I distracting you" and then sinner says either no or a little bit, which would leave haigh in the mud or make bublik apologize, and I don't know which would have been funnier. Kyrgios really does seem bored sometimes, you could see when he launched that ball the hesitation, it was like he was faking an emotion so he could try to feel invested. It really is a shame for his talent, but hey it's his career and besides, no one can ever take away from him the fact he's a slam champion.
Actually saying a bad word or trashing the racket, I really don't mind, but pestering the umpire again and again for ages. THAT is unsportsmanlike conduct.
Bublik was just demanding an apology from the umpire since he already made a mistake twice, if he had the decency to say "i'm sorry" to Bublik, he would had gone passed it already.
@@Irishb0y People make mistakes and the umpire couldn't be absolutely sure he made one in this situation. So what's the point in annoying the cr ap out of him. Kyrgios does the same thing. Saying the same thing over and over again basically over hours.
How would you feel, if someone asked you something, you answer and then he keeps asking the same thing over and over again and you need to be polite and listen to that broken record. It's really annoying. As a player you have to accept it happened. The umpire cannot apologize and he cannot change the ruling. All this mental behaviour does is ruin your game and you'll lose. Maybe you felt you would lose anyway and now you have a scapegoat and point fingers saying the umpire did it.
getting the popcorn out
Great video! Thank you very much for uploading it for us all!
🙏💚
0:53 Moutet a fait peur au ramasseur de balles 🤨🤨🤨
did mannarino win... a cake???
I think it was his birthday
Bublik wasn't wrong in substance, but he was being childish. That said, that umpire should learn to shut the hell up instead of humoring a player's tantrum.
The Bublik one is 50/50 in my opinion. I can see both sides.
For everyone that doesn’t get Nick with the towels; the towels on court aren’t as good as the white ones for wiping sweat off, as the tournament towels are all brand new and fresh for each match, and the material is not as good as the plain white ones which have already been used and washed multiple times in the locker rooms. Everyone thinks he has an issue with the colour of the towels but not the case.
You-Know-Who had the same issue in Paris / Turin. Plain, white, hotel towels are better.
Fair to say Sasha Bublik wasn't happy with being called unsportsmanlike....
I enjoy getting high and watch your videos. Thank you sir, you provide a great service
🙏💚
I think the cruelest profession in sports is chair umpiring in tennis. Putting up with player stardom is a kind of thing I would NEVER accept.
It's very hard to end up in that chair, not many umpires
@@swiftrealm And after you arrive, you have to put up with some idiot, saying everything that offends you and you can't do anything
Cruelest? KEKW easiest job ever, even they don't get punished when made a mistake every single match, like Tourte.
There are definitely umpires who get in their feelings and sway the match
Tennis advocate’s videos are always the best!🔝🔝
🙏💚
If only nick got his white towel what could have been
I don't understand why tennis players are allowed to whine & abuse the umpires time & time again. Most other sports you get disqualified for doing so and possibly suspended also. It is a great sport but it's full of entitled egomaniacs and the controlling body should address the umpiring situation immediately.
Where is my friend Paire Benoit? :p :p
wolf is wrong. in one swing the ball CAN hit the racket twice. It's perfectly allowed.
like if it bounces from your string and into the frame, that's legal.
It wasn't a double hit, though. The umpire was correct. 1:23 Shelton only hit the ball ONCE. The second, reflexive twitch of Shelton's racket doesn't matter because the ball had already left his racket after the first hit & crossed the net.
Currently, any high-ranking professional tennis player is essentially the boss of a small company and has 5 to 10, 15, or 20 people working for them, whom they pay a monthly salary. Winning tournaments, and not earning enough due to a few bad referee calls, can be devastating.
I've been a fan of Bublik for the past few years, but I didn't realize he was this dramatic. He was right on some of the calls, but he was definitely wrong about others. And he made so many unnecessary comments. Damn.
He's been like this all the time! Acting like a cry baby when things don't go his way. Yes there were some bad calls but that is too much. Behaving like that won't change anything and it's surely unsportsmanlike!
If Bublik put even half as much effort into his tennis as he puts into complaining, he would be Top 15.
ah from what I've seen in these videos, Bublik's frustration is usually warranted, albeit slightly over the top.
He was right with his calls in the video, and could have taken that game, and vs Sinner, it's a big match.
He’s one of the most annoying people I’ve ever seen.
you guys don't realize how frustrating tennis can be, he has himself under control imo
Kyrgios, the first towel racist in the world xD
Bublik looks like the detective in season 1 of Ozark. Change my mind.
Nick with White Towels = Multiple Grand Slam Titles
You-Know-Who requested the standard, plain, white, hotel towels at Paris & Turin. They're better, even thickness, & more absorbent.
Bublik just demonstrating how incompetent the officiating can be.
i missed you so much nick
Wow, the umpire are waaay too soft on the players. Have kyrgios ever got a code violation for verbal abuse?
I think the umpire in the sinner- bublik match is the same guy who gave djoker hindrance point penalty & time violation yesterday
And he was right with the hindrance call.
@greyworm1791 bro Sonego does this every shot lmao
Bublik is totally in the right. Umpires cannot be making that many mistakes in a single set
introduce the video replay already.... come on .... its 2023, cameras everywhere...
So do some chair umpires work as supervisors on some tournaments? because AbdelAzim was recently working at highchair now he is supervisor (promoted?)
If there's a video and there's no Moutet is because he is not playing.
Bublik is tiresome, even when he has reasons to complain
I'm in the same mood as bublik all day every day
Holy s*it I thought Bublik was mumbilng for one set and move on. Instead he goes on, call the supervisor, and still complaining until the match ends 😂
holy moly the bublik-sinner match my god
When a natural surface has bad bounces 🤯 adapt to it, be an athlete!
Those 's-Hertogenbosch line umpires were the worst I have seen in a hot minute.
Bublik just isn't funny anymore. He's getting to be like Moutet... everything bothers him. Not sure if there is something going on in his life off court, he was not like this before.
I don’t believe he was trying to be funny he seemed frustrated That umpire is very atrocious and thin skinned
I actually like him. He talks a lot but is usually respectful, and it looks like the locker room appreciates him as well.
So it's my feeling that an integral part of tennis is (for the players) dealing with line calls and the subjective interpretation of those calls and (for the viewers) having something else to watch, react to, talk about, and derive all sorts of emotion. I am kind of bummed that soon we'll have "objective"* technology that'll make tennis matches so much more mundane.
*technology can still be wrong, if there's an issue with the programming. Any British viewers out here? Remember the post office scandal? That was due to bad technology.
Moutet acts and looks like somebody took Paire and shrunk him by 30%
Bubliks complaining has a soporific effect on me. I literally dozed off while he was talking and talking and.... 😴
utter boring 😂
Bublik was quite correct on his second line call. It was called out, then on the challenge it was in, so he gets the point. But didn't, Sinner should have gave him the point in sportsmanship.
I’m curious to know what Nick meant when he said “I’m not sponsored by Boss.”
Was he implying he’d be in violation of his Nike sponsorship or something?
I think the towels provided by the tournament for player use on court were BOSS branded towels that weren't white. He was insinuating that he shouldn't be forced to use every BOSS brand during play.
Now whether that actually has any bearing on how much BOSS towels absorb sweat for him is another issue. He seemed to be complaining just to complain at that point.
just making up a shitty excuse
I suspect it has something to do with monitoring his hair, which is being dyed. Or it just a ploy to buy time and cause drama which Nick thrives in.
Probably.
Or he may have just wanted to refuse to be manipulated into marketing their brand for free. Clothing manufacturers usually don’t emboss (no pun intended) the towels at pro tournaments.
... per chi non avesse mai visto un campo in erba, dove manca, manca la toppa il che vuol dire più di 3 cm di "buco" e la terra naturalmente è tutta ondulata, accidentata, quindi la palla o schizza non si sa dove o non rimbalza o rimbalza strano... Non so veramente come possano giocarci su, compreso il Centrale di Wimbledon che usano esclusivamente per il torneo, figuriamoci altri campi!!
Supervisor comes out..."I don't know what happened"...what do you need a supervisor for?
Bublik owning those awful refs accountable
I thought JJ knew the rules better than that. One motion bud
Why don't judges call "out" after the ball was hit? Bublik got ripped off
Bublik-Sinner: and you know who he will become a great tennis player.
Ngl I could listen to Bublik yap about nothing for hours. I really like his accent
A tip for pro tennis players from a tennis fan, don't ask for supervisor.. Never ever
I didnt get the white towels thing...why? what is the problem with the other towels?
He is sponsored by NIKE, and towels have BOSS on them . He doesn’t want to violate his contract. Also, someone said in the comments they are softer and more absorbent.
You-Know-Who requested the standard, plain, white, hotel towels at Paris & Turin. They're better, even thickness, & more absorbent. The branded towels are thinner, less absorbent, & haven't been pre-washed to reduce lint/fluff. There's a reason why you don't see many players use them.
nick is completely right. he's bringing in millions of viewers and they can't bring a fucking towel?
I believe that player can not argument with empire in any way. So what is the right of players if they disagree with empire?
just one white towel
Anderson calling best effort on Lestienne was unnecessary.
Tennis advocate best
🙏💚
line umps were bad, but bublik was sooo annoying and bratty, people make mistakes howre you gonna act dumbfounded by unsportsmanlike call after that
2 strokes is allowed if in same motion
Haigh is one of the worst umpires out there on the tour
Bublik doesn't want to the umpire to talk to him anyway he wants, but he thinks that he can talk to the umpire any way he wants?🤡
It's also funny that he thinks that he lost the first set due to bad calls and not because he was more focused on arguing instead of actually winning the match.
He might’ve still lost had the calls all been correct, but he would’ve broken serve and wouldn’t have lost at that point had the umpire made the correct decision.
This case with Bublik is a big circus , ofc he was right and umpire its a total joke .
Wolf’s complaint was stupid. Shelton’s shot was legal. It doesn’t matter if the ball hits the racket more than once as long as the player makes one swing, which Shelton clearly did.
And he have the point easy to win..
That may have happened but Wolf’s impression was that he took two swings which is why he argued.
Ignorant comment. Wolf was 100% right. You cannot hit the ball twice.
@@futarydary you can hit the ball twice as long as it's part of a continuous swing. the irony of calling someone else ignorant while not knowing the rules yourself lol
@@futarydary Wrong.
“A player may only swing at the ball once, but it’s legal for a player to unintentionally hit the ball more than once with his/her racket during the swing motion.”
Learn the rules before you call someone else ignorant. Otherwise you just end up looking stupid.
You can see why Bublik with all his talent isnt top 10. If you cant let go and focus again, you will never beat the best constantly.
He does not have talent for top 10.
@@IbraVibraPippoyou must have missed his title run at Halle. I cannot stand the guy’s voice, face, teeth, hair, clothing, overall presence, etc. but his talent cannot be denied.
That's just confirmation bias. The reason he isn't top 10 is simply that there's at least 10 players who are better than him. Talent is relative.
Oh how we missed the snivelling manchild Kyrgios this season lol.
He is so annoying but also undeniably entertaining lol
Kyrgios is biggest clown this sport has ever seen
If I could have one friend from tour it would be Bublik. I would piss him off deliberately and listen.
I agree with moutet those courts suck😂
Smh scaring a kid like that
I can't wait for the day I finally make the tour, step out onto court, smell the fresh cut grass, breathe in the fresh air, feeling more accomplished than I ever have been & just so thankful to be there.
Then, in true traditional fashion... get shitty about a line call, abuse the umpire & then say what every player dreams of being able to say from the first day they pick up a racket.
"CALL THE SUPERVISOR!"
There’s your problem right there. Losers are always happy “just to be there”.
@@AinSoph73 wow you re such a sigma grindset badass bruhh 100%
@@vladraduandrei5227 double for you
That judgement call on Shelton's hit is plain awful. It was a CLEAR, plain as day multiple hit. Least of all, HE knew. Forget about the ump being completely wrong. The players knows fully well, they feel how the hit a ball. Shelton was disgraceful for not admitting he did hit it multiple times and should've conceded the point.
its allowed to double hit, so nothing wrong
@@wait9907 You know nothing about tennis rules.
It wasn't a double hit. The umpire was correct. Rewatch the video. 1:23 Shelton only hit the ball ONCE. The second, reflexive twitch of Shelton's racket doesn't matter because the ball had already left his racket after the first hit & crossed the net.
No. It's terrible that there will be no more line umpires. The drama is great.
absolutely right bublik..!
When did Sascha become such a drama queen?
It doesn't do them any good to argue with the umpire, it makes for a completely wrong mindset.
