Hindustan Times  

For the second time in her career, Iga Swiatek made it to the semifinal at the Australian Open as she outplayed Emma Navarro 6-1, 6-2 in the quarterfinal tie on Wednesday on the Rod Laver Arena. “Honestly, I didn’t see the replay after this point, because after the point I didn’t look up to the screens because I wanted to stay focussed,” Swiatek told reporters after the match. “I didn’t see it, so I just kind of proceeded, and I was I already focussed on the next.” The moment soon sparked a furore on air, with commentator Sam Smith lashing out at the chair umpire and questioning why Navarro did not opt for a review. So why didn’t she ask for a video review?” Jelena Dokic replied: “Well, she asked after the point was done, and you’ve got to ask right then. “Iga Swiatek saw on the big screen her shot was a double bounce, and was still awarded the point by the umpire.
