Interesting nobody's talked about Raonic's controversial net touch yesterday. I generally hate when crowds boo a player for talking to the ump, cause they usually have no idea what's going on and yesterday was no exception. They showed the net touch replay and the crowd fussed at how he almost bowled the net over, but I think his foot grazing the bottom was totally lost on most people. I'm betting the vast majority wouldn't even know that's an infraction anyways. So people are booing and yelling and whistling at Delpo to shut up and play, when he had a right to ask what happened.
Now that I think of it, I don't know why that particular point got its own replay, when most others did not. Often I would look up at the scoreboard after a crazy rally, and there would be nothing. Someone in the control booth was looking for some extra drama.
