The WTF Faces of AO14 Part II: Line Calls and F’in Finals…
We didn’t think we had quite enough fun with the WTF faces of the 2014 Australian Open, so we thought we’d share a few more. In the first week of the Slam Down Under especially, when temps were soaring, the heat waves on court seemed to interfere with the line judges’ accuracy. Here’s a glance at some of those entertaining moments when the players wondered “WTF was that line call?”
Ryan Harrison reigned in his famous temper during yet another tough first round Slam match, this time against Gael Monfils, even zenning his way through a bad call that could have cost him a game. But by the third set, as line judging errors piled up, that Big Harry fury started to show.
Ana Ivanovic successfully challenged two serves in a row that would have given the “home team” advantage to Sammy Stosur.
Tommy Robredo had a whole range of “WTF?” reactions to an overturned call that gave Stan Wawrinka the point at a crucial time, rather than a replay.
Stan Wawrinka had some challenge issues of his own in his match against Alejandro Falla, when he very animatedly gestured for the umpire to tell him WTF mark it was he was using for the call.
In the finals, Domi, Stan, and Rafa had their ups, downs, and “WTF AM I DOING?” moments.
Stanislas Wawrinka went even further, desperately asking his camp about his lapses in the 3rd set:
They seemed to have the same question themselves…
The ladies brought some competitive drama…
Stan once again made us smile with a “WTF?” as he punched himself in the head…for doing well.
Rafa with his ultimate “WTF IS HAPPENING?” pose as he faced the final match point.
And Li Na, with a mixture of joy and relief and “WTF OMG I WON!”
