However, HAWK-Eye technology (Eyes of Hawks) determined the ball to touch the exact line of 1mm and the score for the Spanish tennis player.
Immediately, Zverev came to complain to the referee but failed. He insisted the referee went down to the yard to review the situation: “Look at the ball. Please step down to the field to see the ball. Please do not miss this situation.”
In response, referee Mohamed Lahyani said he was not allowed to do this when the Hawk-Eye system made a decision. Because of being too angry, Zverev took the phone to take a shadow image for the referee. However, he was punished for warning because this was considered a non -sport behavior.
