In the world of sports, there are many instances where the referee gets a completely wrong call which changes the game altogether.

Recently, Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic faced a huge loss at the Adelaide Open when the referee’s decision turned against him in a vital third set.

Kecmanovic was up against Jack Draper in his second match at Adelaide. The match was a rather interesting one, as the Serbian took the first set to his name and was extremely close to winning the second set as well, but lost his grip there, taking the match to a third and final set.

Both players went back to back with their games, getting the scoreboard to 5-5. This was when a shot from the Serbian went through the net, and the point was awarded to Draper, giving him an upper hand in the third set. 

The 24-year-old argued with the umpire on this, but there was no change in the decision, and the point remained with the Brit. Eventually, Kecmanovic lost that hard-fought match 7-5, 6(9)-7, 6(7)-7 and ended his short run at Adelaide, triggering a plethora of reactions from fans in his support.

This was an unfortunate loss for the Serbian who marked his Round of 16 loss in the two tournaments he played in.

Before Adelaide, Kecmanovic lost to Frances Tiafoe in the Round of 16 of the Hong Kong Open and lost in the same part at the Adelaide International. Nonetheless, Draper moves on to the next round of the tournament and will face Tommy Paul to try and secure his place in the semi-finals. 

Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions online, here’s what fans have to say:
