(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Dong-chan = Ji-seong Nam (Sejong City Hall) and Min-gyu Song (KDB Development Bank), who advanced in the second round of men’s doubles at the Australian Open tennis tournament for two years in a row, made their first round victory brighter with mature court manners.
Song Min-gyu and Nam Ji-sung won the first round of men’s doubles at the Australian Open Tennis Tournament held in Melbourne, Australia on the 10th, with a 2-0 (6-4 7-6) pair of Rohan Bophana (India)-Ben McLaclan (Japan).) Defeated.
Nam Ji-seong and Song Min-gyu, who made their debut in the major tournament through this tournament last year, have been named in the second round (final of 32) of the Australian Open for two consecutive years.
During the second set of the match, a rare sight came out.
The second serve was faulted during the serve game of McLaclan, whose father was New Zealander.
The score from 30-0 was reduced to 30-15, and there was room for chase as Song Min-gyu and Nam Ji-seong.
At this time, the game score was tight at 5-5, so every point was an important situation.
However, Bofana-McLaclan Jo protested this decision, saying,’It’s not a fault.’
This contest raised an objection that’the sub came inside the line’ even though there is not much possibility of a misjudgment because it reads electronically without a separate line judge.
If it is true that the serve came inside the line, then Nam Ji-sung’s return could not cross the net, so it would be 40-0 instead of 30-15.
At this time, Song Min-gyu-Nam Ji-seong Cho unexpectedly admitted that the opponent scored correct, saying, “The sub came inside the line”.
In this competition, due to electronic reading, he could not even apply for a’challenge’, so Nam Ji-sung and Song Min-gyu were able to pursue 30-15 just by standing still, but first voluntarily admitted that it is correct to be ’40-0′.
In response, the opponents raised their hands, saying’thank you’, and applause burst out from the stand.
In the end, the game, which was played at 40-0, was won 6-5 by Bofana-Mcclaren, but in the end, after a tie break, Nam Ji-sung and Song Min-gyu won the set score 2-0.
