Draper Wins Controversial Match, Loses in Quarter-Finals

Jack Draper's victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime at the Cincinnati Open was marred by controversy over a decisive match point. Draper appeared to hit a volley that first bounced on his side of the court, which should have been ruled a double bounce. Despite Draper's willingness to replay the point if video evidence confirmed the error, chair umpire Greg Allensworth ruled it a fair shot, awarding Draper the match. The lack of video review technology led to widespread criticism from players, including Novak Djokovic, who called for the implementation of replay systems in tennis. Draper advanced to the quarter-finals, where he lost to Holger Rune. The incident has sparked a broader discussion on the use of technology in tennis officiating.
