Do you watch sports very much? Do you realize how common it is for an individual or team to be behind and then turn a game around and win? No game is over until it is completely over, but this match was cut short before the players could play all the points.

Just in the past couple of weeks, I saw the Nationals win a few games after being way behind. It has happened frequently enough lately that I've lost track of how many time I've seen it happen. It is not unusual for a team to come from behind in the very last inning and win the game.

Both of the opponents in this match were robbed of the chance to see how the contest would have played out in the amount of time that was originally allotted to it. People pull off come from behind wins all the time and these two players should have had the chance to play every point of their match.

If you'd watched the match you would know that there was no way Serena was coming back.  I've watched her stage some amazing comebacks over the years but last night Osaka was handily outplaying her and was astonishingly calm and focused given the situation.   [/quote]

Sure, in theory anything could have happened but it feels neither proper nor appropriate to speculate because it diminishes Osaka's tremendous win.  There will be no asterisk next to her name in the record books....she won fair and square.  The ump may or may not have acted inappropriately but Serena had 100% control over how she reacted.

I watched the match in real time, and because we happened to record it for our child to watch later, watched it again.

I would never say never about a comeback. People can dig deep down inside themselves and do amazing things. That's why I wish they had been able to truly play the entire match so that we could see what might have happened.

Without the umpire's unfair calls, Serena would not have been upset as she was and we as spectators would have been able to see a great game of tennis between two fantastic competitors, without outside interference.

This I disagree. I think there will be an asterisk in the history book. It will state that she was given a point and a game and this may have been a turning point. Nevertheless, Osaka was declared the winner. For her sake, I hope she becomes a phenom like Serena and erase the asterisk. However, if she is a one hit or two hit wonder, people will always speculate if it was a true win, or if she was given help. [/quote]

Nothing to tell. You are simply wrong.[/quote]
