Novak Djokovic has called for the introduction of video reviews in tennis after the bizarre conclusion to Jack Draper’s match at the Cincinnati Open prompted a wider debate about the use of replays in the sport.
Draper, the British No 1, defeated Félix Auger-Aliassime of Canada 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 to reach the quarter-finals but the match ended in a heated argument with an angry Auger-Aliassime claiming to officials that Draper’s winning volley had gone into the ground first. The umpire, Greg Allensworth, was unable to view a replay and called the point in Draper’s favour.
