That is great news...I saw some people coming to Greg Allensworth's defense saying he's one of the best umpires on the ATP tour. That may well be, but even good umpires are not immune from bad decisions. Umpires need to be faster at calling on ushers to remove unruly patrons from the crowd as well. We also need better ushers to stop people from milling about in the middle of a tie-break. Six points into a tie-break is not a changeover, the players are simply changing ends. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there were many people that erred here and I'm happy to see that Shapo wasn't unfairly punished in this case.
