Re(1): Questionable points in W.S. Posted on January 22, 2026 at 05:33:22 PM by TommyT
Agreed. Based on the replay, Leke clearly juggled the ball. As you mentioned Sin Firma...it was not so clear cut with Urresti, even with the various viewing angles. The ball did not appear to change trajectory angles as is usually the case when a ball is "tipped" off of the side wall. Since both teams asked for an inquiry, the referees most likely decided to rule in favor of Leke based on Urresti's questionable play happening first.
The more astonishing one is Urresti/Lopez's match the following week against the Sorazabal brothers also ended on a controversial final point of the match. Johan catches the serve, throws a remate and the ball lands on the line. The refs call the remate good, resulting in Urresti/Lopez losing the match. The instant replay shows Johan's throw was out, however the refs did not reverse their decision. Gotta feel bad for Urresti for two weeks in a row losing the final point of each match on a controversial call. The link below contains the last point and replay (about half way down the page).
