The Davis Cup tennis team tournament is in full swing, but in the match between Belgium and Chile, there is a horse catch that shocked everyone!

In this game, the little-known Belgian team temporarily led 2-1 after the first three games, so the pressure immediately went to Chile's Galin in the fourth game, and his opponent was Belgium's Boggs. However, the match between the two men was also inseparable, but in the deciding set, an accident happened. Boggs made a crucial break at 5-5 and then jumped all the way to celebrate with his team, only to knock down Garin when he switched sides, and the latter immediately fell to the ground and called a medical timeout.

However, after the medical timeout, Garin still said he had a concussion and eye redness and was unable to continue the game. Judging from the broadcast footage of the game, Garin's eyes did begin to be red and swollen and there were faint signs of bleeding, but the referee was not heartbroken. However, since it was not Garin's own sudden injury that caused Garin to be unable to continue playing, the Chilean team refused to withdraw due to injury, and instead asked the referee to directly defeat Boggs. However, the referee did not think that the Belgian team's actions were subjective and deliberate, so the game was continued. After that, Garin, who refused to play, ate several timeout warnings in a row, resulting in a penalty game, losing the game 5-7, and the Belgian team also directly sealed the victory 3-1.

After the game, Garin posted a picture on social media, saying that his eye socket was red and swollen, saying that it was unbelievable that it was such a penalty result! In his post, he wrote, "The players were injured and couldn't continue playing, but we acted like nothing had happened. What a beautiful world, what a great mentality. In addition, he also posted a photo of himself being swollen on the right side of his face.

Subsequently, the Chilean Tennis Association also issued a statement, pointing out that Garin had dizziness and eye inflammation after being hit, and not only did not receive due care from a neutral doctor, but was asked to continue playing. For this unfairness, they will seek justice and defend their interests in the ITF!

This is a very rare accident in which one of the players is unable to continue the game due to an accidental injury by an opponent, but in a sense, because the opponent has no subjective intention, Garin's injury can only be regarded as "self-willing". But is the absence of subjective intent a sufficient reason not to be convicted? Apparently not, because there are still a lot of lessons to be learned from this type of incident in tennis.

For example, at the 2020 U.S. Open, the infamous Djokovic was awarded a loss after hitting the line with a pass. At that time, when Djokovic changed sides during the break, he accidentally hit the ball on the sidelines when he lost the ball from his pocket, and then the latter who was possessed by the playful spirit kept coughing and fell to the ground, and finally after the confirmation of the tournament director, Djokovic was also directly sentenced to lose. But the decision caused an uproar at the time, with many fans saying that Djokovic was clearly being treated unfairly and accusing the division of being too dramatic.

Similarly, there is the 2023 French Open women's doubles ball boy decision. At that time, Japan's Miki Kato accidentally hit a ball boy on the sidelines in the process of hitting the opponent's court, and then the ball boy who was hit by the ball immediately began to cry, and Malibozkova and Tormo protested to the referee after seeing this scene: "The opponent's combination should be disqualified." In the end, the referee also followed Djokovic's decision and lost to the Kato Miyu combination, but this move was also ridiculed by many fans.

This time, the Davis Cup Garlin's decision is the same as in the past in these similar incidents, and the "double standard" in this incident once again draws attention to the fact that tennis always has different standards for different people, or in other words, there is always a group of people who can enjoy privileged treatment. As Georgian player Basilashvili said on social media: "If Novak does this, he will be disqualified for the rest of his life, WTF." ”(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
