"2 yrs max before she sues the tour" - Tennis fans react as Jelena Ostapenko's Hawkeye claims are validated by error during Indian Wells 2023 match

Jelena Ostapenko’s second-round match at Indian Wells 2023 was recently disrupted by an incorrect electronic line call. Unsurprisingly, tennis fans were quick to share their amusement at the incredibly rare occurrence.In Ostapenko’s Round of 64 match against Aliaksandra Sasnovich, the electronic line calling system made a wrong call during a crucial moment. Ostapenko had three break points for a 2-0 lead in the opening set, but she was robbed by Hawkeye making an uncharacteristic error. The chair umpire then had to intervene and call for a repeat of the serve.Tennis fans were left stunned that the incident happened in a match featuring Jelena Ostapenko, of all players. The Latvian has frequently criticized the electronic system for its supposed errors, but has had no real proof - until now.“Oh no it would happen in her match, she will never let that system tell her anything ever again,” one fan remarked.Robespierre@brookeabeyerOh no it would happen in her match, she will never let that system tell her anything ever again twitter.com/some1namedryan…Ryan@Some1NamedRyanthe line calling system is making mistakes in an Ostapenko match 🤭161the line calling system is making mistakes in an Ostapenko match 🤭 https://t.co/8rcp35smuiOh no it would happen in her match, she will never let that system tell her anything ever again 😭 twitter.com/some1namedryan…Another fan declared that the 2017 French Open champion would not trust even the visibly obvious line calls after the surprising occurrence.“She's going to ask to review every ball that landed within two meters of a line, isn't she?” the fan said.tomera@MjTomera@muguruthlesss @Some1NamedRyan She's going to ask to review every ball that landed within two meters of a line, isn't she?3@muguruthlesss @Some1NamedRyan She's going to ask to review every ball that landed within two meters of a line, isn't she?“Nah she’s never ever trusting that damn system my girl has had ENOUGH,” yet another fan chimed in.Krista@BwehRublevNah she’s never ever trusting that damn system my girl has had ENOUGH twitter.com/some1namedryan…Ryan@Some1NamedRyanthe line calling system is making mistakes in an Ostapenko match 🤭1020the line calling system is making mistakes in an Ostapenko match 🤭 https://t.co/8rcp35smuiNah she’s never ever trusting that damn system 😭 my girl has had ENOUGH twitter.com/some1namedryan…Here are a few more reactions from fans:🎾nebby🎾@vamoshalepPenko validation! twitter.com/Some1NamedRyan…Ryan@Some1NamedRyanthe line calling system is making mistakes in an Ostapenko match 🤭23620the line calling system is making mistakes in an Ostapenko match 🤭 https://t.co/8rcp35smuiPenko validation! twitter.com/Some1NamedRyan…Jakub Bobro@bobrojakubSHE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG! twitter.com/Some1NamedRyan…Ryan@Some1NamedRyanthe line calling system is making mistakes in an Ostapenko match 🤭23620the line calling system is making mistakes in an Ostapenko match 🤭 https://t.co/8rcp35smuiSHE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG! twitter.com/Some1NamedRyan…AMETHYST DREAMS@Nigee_UnoGive it 2 yrs max before she sues the tour twitter.com/Some1NamedRyan…Ryan@Some1NamedRyanthe line calling system is making mistakes in an Ostapenko match 🤭23620the line calling system is making mistakes in an Ostapenko match 🤭 https://t.co/8rcp35smuiGive it 2 yrs max before she sues the tour 😭 twitter.com/Some1NamedRyan…Shukri Abdullah 🍔@shukriabdullahHer not trusting the system is valid finally twitter.com/Some1NamedRyan…Ryan@Some1NamedRyanthe line calling system is making mistakes in an Ostapenko match 🤭23620the line calling system is making mistakes in an Ostapenko match 🤭 https://t.co/8rcp35smuiHer not trusting the system is valid finally twitter.com/Some1NamedRyan… https://t.co/IAwIqElP4Sgayrbiñe@muguruthlesss@Some1NamedRyan like not the right way to make her trust the system8@Some1NamedRyan like 😭😭 not the right way to make her trust the systemMarcello Calicchio@MarcelloCalicc1@Some1NamedRyan I would like to see her fire a ball right into the line system camera!@Some1NamedRyan I would like to see her fire a ball right into the line system camera!jb@pepsicocom@Some1NamedRyan @kaposi_david Penko calling the @WTA President after that match for sure1@Some1NamedRyan @kaposi_david Penko calling the @WTA President after that match for sure https://t.co/6ZZ4bmFksHRyan@Some1NamedRyan@denizthetenis maybe she'll be pissed off enough to win a major5@denizthetenis maybe she'll be pissed off enough to win a majorJelena Ostapenko through to third round at Indian Wells 2023Jelena Ostapenko at the 2023 WTA 1000 Indian WellsJelena Ostapenko commenced her 2023 campaign at the Adelaide International 1, where she faced a second-round exit.
