The 8 Dirtiest Plays in Tennis (Controversial Moments)

Alcaraz if arrogant and full of himself so not everybody adores him ;))

You can add another Norrie act in Rio final. Towards the end of the match Alcaraz hits a brilliant winner clearly in but Norries objects, calls the ref and misleads the ref by showing another mark outside the line. Important point. He breaks Alcaraz that game and wins the title afterwards....

Laziest narrator.
"Is it legal, well I'm pretty sure that it's absolutely not. I don't think there's a specific rule that says you cannot cover the ball in sweat, but without looking there must be some rule that states that you cannot modify the ball ..."
If you're gonna comment about it, then at least take the few minutes to verify if it's legal or not. It's hugely related to the video. Saying "absolutely not" followed up by a statement that clearly shows you don't know, is just sad.

Patient video

Nalbandian hitting a line judge against cilic😮

How about serena coming out wasted drunk on the court...😮

Note: players like Federer & Sampras are idolised for a reason....
Millman - not cheating. Fluffing the ball so for him, yes, the ball travels slower. But as a server, you want the ball to go faster not slower.
Murray - worst sport on the tour. Of course he doesn't concede the point. Not a class player.
Tsitsipas - sledging does occur in matches but he is emotionally a child on court (petulant) due to parental control
Swiatek - 100% hinderance - same as players who stomp their feet as they approach the net. Yes you can fake change of direction but not wave your racquet.
Norrie - The smash was low / at the feet and he is a leftie. I don't think he saw Joker turn his back. I would forgive this one.

Milkman’s shirt looks dry though.

Hahahahaha...four things instantly came to mind...Millman rubbing the balls on his shirt against Roger, Soderling mocking Rafa digging his shorts all the time, Rosol when he kicked over Rafa's water bottle at Wimbledon and Laura Siegemund trying to interrupt Gauff''s serve. Serena's had some hinky moments as well, but we're all supposed to pretend she didn't. Keeping it classy...

This is very bad. Stopped watching on the Troicki/Murray episode. How exactly is any of these two playing dirty? Then, what Millman did is within the rules to the best of my knowledge, and if you want to argue otherwise, better come up with something more convincing than "I'm sure there's something in the rules that prohibits this".

the djokovic norrie is not bad, its much easier to hit a overhead shot cross court than down the line

Federer doesnt respond. As cool as always defenitely the goat regarding good behaviour oncourt.

I can’t stand Iga when she does what she does…and what makes it worse is the fact she blames it on “anxiety.” She’s a good person but needs to stop doing that

Missing Blake Gonzalez from the 2008 Olympics

What about Meligeni vs Robredo? This was absolutely ridiculous...

How can Cameron Norrie tell where Djokovic is? He went up for the smash and wasn't even facing him. Aimed straight down the middle of the court, the safest shot for his overhead as his shot was a mirror image of his serve. There was more risk if he rotated to hit it at another angle and aim for either side.

Ali Nili again. What a shame. The worst referee to ever walk the face of the Earth.

I think you´ve never played tennis. In the Musetti part, there´s no way he could know it was a double bounce. And, besides that, Alcaraz kept on playing, so according to rules he lost the point.

Waving is definitely cheating.

I was watching the Coric against Hugo match live ,So glad Borna won the match.

Great video…especially the umpire antics …pretty astonishing. I was expecting Kyrgios to show up here somewhere 😂

Sometimes we see some really silly things from Tsitsi. I think he should think about what he is doing. Maybe Alcaraz is a little too nice to him in this situation.....

In the 90thies, they had a colder simple handshake after the match, not this „best buddy behavior“ of today, but they had respect for each other. Today, handshake like buddies but nothing to do with fair play.

Millman is an poor idiot, Murray complete overrated was never sportsmanship, yes, and Tsitsipas a sick bad looser. He passed his prime already!

Djokovic walking away is the problem on that last point.
Him turning his back and walking away during the point could be called hindrance and is MORE DISRESPECTFUL than getting hit.
If YOU TURN AWAY from the opponent, expect to get hit.
Especially if you're walking right into the area where the player would naturally hit.

Murray was absolutely correct not to concede the point to Troicki. It's a very clear let. If we say Murray should have conceded, then it gives players an impossible task of identifying when concession is required. Here, Troicki was about 99% likely to win the point but it was still uncertain. For those who think Murray should concede, where is the dividing line? 90%? 95%? Here's an idea! Let us say that the players don't decide these things and the umpire follows the rules. This is a completely ridiculous example.

Iga's distraction play is ridiculous. Terrible terrible bad habit, number one in the world doing that bush league crap is unforgivable.

The cameron norrie smash is completely and obviously accidentally hitting djokovic. Djokovic started walking away, but Nortie is watching the ball, he has no idea that djokovic stopped playing, which was kind of a pussy move TBH. Norrie has to make the overhead to win the point so he goes middle which is the corryplay in this situation since it limits your opponent's time to react and angles to reply with. Novak was a baby about this. I am not a norrie fan, but the only thing controversial about that play was anybody crying about it.

For me the worsts are Serena US Open 2009 and US Open 2018

The dirtiest players have a very narrow mindset. They represent theirs colors, theirs national.
I'd been playing tennis since the middle 1980 until the present. Witnessed many immoral players.

Norrie was not intentional. Djoko was way too close to the net and still moving in the middle. For a high volley players are used to hitting in the middle in case the ball was out.

I love the Alcaraz-Tsitsipas match-up.

You said you were going to show cheating but instead you're showing me a bunch of people that whine about the other player oh boo hoo

I'm sorry, Swiatek still does that? If so, that's ridiculous. She needs to get penalized every single time

I would normally say Murray should have just given the point to Troicki, but having in mind the match between Murray and Kokkinakis in the ao 2023, I say Murray had the right to replay the point since he can return any smash 😂

What about Cincinati final and faking injury.

Норри и Циципас играли правильно, Новак должен был играть до конца, а Карлос мог отбить мяч у сетки. Рейтинг так себе))

There are worse situations than these - Serena for example, she was such a cheat, there are plenty of instances with her. Some italian and spanish girls too

Iga has many other dirty tricks

That was horrific against Troicki

Millman's shirt was DRY! It was so obvious. Looks more as if he was wiping it.

How is Nadal during the US Open 2019 Final not here? He made the umpire replay a Daniil ace that would have given him a lead in the 5th set on the basis of "he wasn't ready". In tennis, points are always played at the rhythm of the server. People won't remember it but Medvedev would have probably won this match if it was not for Nadal's unsportsmanlike antics.

You should edit out the Millman thing, you are not correct in your assumption of what he is doing. Millman is known for occasional cramps. What I would speculate is that he is massaging his abs. Only way to explain why he did it with TWO balls and then threw one back to the ball boy/girl. You can also see some discomfort in his face. Also his shirt doesn’t even appear to be wet. Another reason is players never wet tennis balls because it slows them down. You often see players drenched in sweat, and so they stop putting tennis balls in their shorts pockets for the second serve. Because they don’t want them wet. Total misrepresentation of Millman in my opinion.

What about Henin serena

Nothing wrong with smashing the ball right at the guy at the net...also the worst fine should have been Djokovic's smashing his racket on the fence post at Wimbledon. All of his prize money should have been taken away .so grosd

Gaston was cheating
