I watched the video as well. When LD was given warnings, he just raised the racket to apologize. However, when Tommy was given the warning, he tried to argue with the umpire. I think Tommy should learn a lesson that there is no point to argue as it won't make any difference but get a yellow card.
Tommy argues too much..Seen him doing this vs Momota..too bad,we didn't see Kento vs LD..poor Kento,had a fever that day.
If the umpire showed favouritism or partiality, he has broken the code of ethics and ought to be reprimanded.
I can see LD playing with faster pace but this is done at the expense of his staminar. I hate to say that his games is limited by his staminar nowadays. Our LD is fighting with his age.
If i were the organizers i'd put Akane/Nozomi match in the end so i could keep the audience as long as possible and they would consume more inside the stadium......
