Scoring Error Overshadows Cobolli's Win over Wawrinka

News summary

In a thrilling second-round match at the Shanghai Masters, Flavio Cobolli defeated Stan Wawrinka 6-7(6), 7-6(4), 6-3, but the match was marred by a significant scoring error from chair umpire Carlos Bernardes. The error occurred in the third set when Bernardes incorrectly announced the score at 0-30 instead of 15-15 after Wawrinka won the first point, leading to a crucial break of serve that determined the match's outcome. Both players and the umpire failed to notice the blunder, with Wawrinka not protesting the call. This victory allows Cobolli to advance to face Novak Djokovic in the next round. The incident has reignited discussions about officiating standards in tennis, especially given Wawrinka's prior experience with similar scoring mistakes in high-stakes matches. Kyrgios also took to social media, criticizing Bernardes and suggesting he should have been dismissed long ago.
