Pretty sure it's not a tactic. She can't or doesn't dare to hit topspin forehands.

But hey, if there is a surface you can get away on without a forehand it's grass.

Report edy June 22, 2023 7:23 PM BST
Rightfully so because he overruled an out call on a clearly out serve by Galfi at 5-3 for Arango, giving the Hungarian an ace instead of a second serve.

Though I guess in the overall context of blind umpire keeping her in the match in the first place, the anger in that moment was misplaced. Don't know if he had screwed her over earlier though.
