Tapia Got Free Points on Tiebreaker?🤯

531 commentsu/ezmunneh22h ago
can someone explain why tf pablo gave tapia a free point here??? pablo didnt touched the ball twice, the ball is legally sided contra pared and very far from the fence, I even rewatch the replay multiple times in different angles and in slowmo, I cant find the fault here.. whyyy????? also both of the english and spanish commentators only said "out of sportsmanship", sportsmanship of what?

It was Pablo Lijo who stop the play so how can you say that he didn’t touched the ball twice? Clearly he felt that it was a double touch, they were losing 3-5 so it’s even more worthy of recognition to concede a ball that will put you a point away from losing the match hence the sportsmanship

But if it's one motion it's allowed no?

making contact with the ball twice in the same motion is not allowed.

thats what i thought, in the slowmo on different angles showed that it didnt even touched twice even in 1 motion, but as paolooo said that pablo said he felt it in his racket that he touched twice, even coello was as confused as me lol, but pablo said it himself, it is what it is then🤷🏻‍♂️

No. It’s not allowed even in one motion in padel

Double touches are not allowed. Carrying the ball slightly (a continuous touch) is allowed. Rule 14.h)
2
The rule is not the same as in tennis

No it is not. On lower levels it gets a pass, but not on the highest stage

It’s hard to change the direction like that in one motion, but yes it’s allowed

The only explanation here is that he hit the fence..

it's doble-toque he touched the ball twice and raises his hand to admit it, which is why Tapia applauds the sportsmanship.

it didnt hit the fence, it was very far away from the fence, far awayyy........ you can still watch the replay on TY, on slow mo, in different angles

Pablo raised his hand before tapia even touched the ball.

I just want to comment how impressive is that Lijo and Arce are the pair that coello and tapia struggle the most. It seems that Arce is the player that causes Coello more trouble by far. I don’t want to say that he’s better than Chingo but there isn’t any other right side player in the circuit handling Coello like Arce does (not even other lefties) and if were Galan i would start looking at his performances

Maxi is too good and fast, also Coello struggles a lot more against lefties

no it didnt hit the fence at all, turned out pablo admits that he touched the ball twice
2
it didn't, the player just touched the ball twice in the same motion that's why he stopped
