By doing so, Bergus caused an extraordinary series of events, which characterizes a dispute between Garin and his own doctor, and the rules of disqualifications and the Chile’s Olympic Committee, the Olympic Committee of Chile, “a shameful international incident.” We discussed what we called. When the smoke was resolved, Garin was given a penalty for the game because he refused to return to the court and lost his final set 7-5 and Thailand 3-1.
This is a strange night story in Hassert in Belgium.
what happened?
The incident occurred with a tie 2-1 in Belgium. After being knocked on the floor, Garin picked up himself, but was shocked by what had happened and seemed to have been impaired. Before the referee Carlos Ramos gave him a cord violation for sportsmen -like acts, Belks immediately apologized.
Chile was furious at what he recognized as a generous punishment, and Garin forced this point when he was consulted by a doctor. After that attention was completed, Garin refused to resume the game. Later, Ramos issued three consecutive sanctions to him. After the normal chord violation and point penalty, Ramos issued a game penalty, lost a set and a match against Garin, and Chile forced the tie.
What are the rules of the Davis Cup about the default?
According to the Davis Cup regulation, “Team members do not always abuse the formula, opponents, spectators, or others in the site of the site. For the purpose of this section, physical abuse is the purpose of this section. It is an official touch, the audience, or the other.
Belx’s jumping to Garin certainly meets his excitement, and in accordance with the regulations, “In a situation that is severely harmful to the success of ties, the referee has the authority to declare a single violation of this section. I have it. “
Garin certainly felt that the case was “terrible, especially harmful to the success of the tie” and forced Berg for forced Berg. If the request was recognized, the tie would be at a level of 2-2, and the Belgian teenager Alexander Block (No. 100 in the No. 100 place in Chile Nicholas Jarry (38th)) ) The final rubber would have been played. 151).
Why was Velks defaulted?
Anpire Ramos, who was in a US open final chair in 2018, in the United States, explained that he would not default Belks after the match. “I think it was a very unfortunate accident among the two players. Unfortunately, it was caused by an unintended player,” Lamos said at a press conference.
“I don’t think it would make everyone think it would be an accident.”
Ramos said that an independent tournament doctor had cleared Garin. In other words, it means that the assigned switching time does not return to court, making time violations. However, the regulation does not have the result or impact of the action when considering whether the player is necessary to default, or does not consider the intention (whether the action is intentional). Garin’s injury situation should not affect Ramos’s ruling to Berg, according to the rules.
In many recent incidents, Alex Michaelsen hit the ball in the crowd in the Winston Sailem Finals in North Carolina last year, and to Telence Atomane, who did the same thing in the French Open last year. In these cases, the result is the result, whether or not the audience was hurt. -This seems to have been led by the not disqualification of the player, despite the fact that the rules should be enforced.
It will be deeper
Tennis round table: One year after the confusion and doping controversy, what is the next?
What was the radioactive drop?
Chile’s anger about how things continue to be urgent after the match is over.
Garin writes on Instagram as follows.
“What a beautiful world, what a wonderful mentality (three hand crap emoticons continue).”
He also shows his followers in his right eye photos as if they were swollen red and wrote in the later posts: This is … I am grateful to ITF for worrying about my health. “

Garin was not technically disqualified. If he was not one game from the defeat, he would have not lost if he had received the game penalty at once in the game.
“They just wanted to finish the match, no matter what sacrifice they paid,” Garin added at a press conference after the match. He argued that he had lost his consciousness for three seconds, but Chile’s team doctor has disagreed. Chile’s doctor emphasizes that Garin is “in any state to continue playing” in opposition to the evaluation of the tournament itself.
Chile’s team captain, Nicholas Mass, is a former Olympic singles and double -swing pion, a coach of the 2020 US Open Champion Dominic Tiem, and said, “A hour and a half, no one has received an apology. Nobody asked if Christians were OK.
The International Tennis Federation (ITF), which operates the Davis Cup, has issued a statement.
“This is a rare, unhappy and very delicate situation, and all stakeholders, including independent doctors, conducted due to the rules and procedures.
“We understand the emotions associated with this unusual incident, but the final decision was made after considering all the facts and unique situations around it.”
Chile’s Olympic Committee opposes, and Garin’s statement on Instagram is “upset, incredible” in the situation, and supports Chile’s Tennis Federation, “This shameful international international. The incident cannot be punished. “
A spokeswoman for Tennisbergium told Athletic that Belgian captain Stebder Sith later contacted MASSU and the organization issued a statement.
Monday, February 3, Tennis Bergy said:
“Tennisbergies regret that yesterday’s thrilling Davis Cup encountered a thrilling Davis cup of Belgium and Chile suddenly ended the unfortunate collision following the unfortunate collision of Zizou BERGS and CRISTIAN GARIN. 。
“When ZIZOU had a decisive break in the game, it was a careless moment due to enthusiasm. There was no malicious intention.
“As a Belgian tennis federation, our main concern is Garin’s happiness, and we hope he’s doing well. One day after these emotional charges, we are. We are looking for calm and objective support for ZIZOU and Belgian.
Berks representatives did not respond immediately when they were contacted by athletic on Monday morning for comments, but later mentioned the Tennisbergic statement.
Does this have a wider impact on tennis?
As a whole, this was a pretty strange case. There is no problem to celebrate enthusiastically, but BERGS’s actions have reckless elements, and on another day he would have been able to default. It was a game he worked hard to get the benefits, and probably a desperate way to lose a tie.
For Garin, his anger is fully understood, and it is difficult to know how much pain he is, but now he has the maximum aside his fraud and DIG. You may regret trying to finish the game, which had only one game, and there is a tie brake in it.
The defeat means that Chile has missed the chance to take him to Australia in September, and is in the crisis at the last eight events in November. Instead, it’s Belgium, which moves down and plays against the Lleyton Hewitt team.
A wider, this incident will discuss what is not accepted in the Tennis Court or what is acceptable. Some supporters will highly appreciate Burg’s passion for celebration, but other supporters will feel that this is a fairly clear violation of the rules and has not been punished properly. In addition, even if there is a possibility that both the player and the fans can lead to a dissatisfaction conclusion, we will re -introduce conversations on contradictions in applying default rules that should be issued regardless of context or impact.
