Et l'année passée : "Davidovich Fokina lost at last year's Wimbledon 10-7 in a 10-point tiebreak on a ball abuse point penalty."
Citation :
Vesely secured match point by taking a 9-7 lead in the tiebreak when Fokina failed to return a ball over the net. Fokina took his frustrations out by hitting another ball out of play during the break in action. And that was the end of his tournament.
Chair umpire Carlos Ramos penalized Fokina for ball abuse because of the extracurricular forehand. The penalty was his second code violation of the day. A second code violation results in an automatic penalty point awarded to the violator's opponent. In this case, it was match point, and Vesely punched his ticket to the third round.
