Watch: Big Misunderstanding Leads to Heartbreaking Loss for Klepac and Martinez Sanchez

Big misunderstanding in this doubles match.

Klepac/Martinez thought the hawkeye showed their match point lob IN. Infact, it was long. Xu even shook hands with them. Umpire had to clarify.#BNPPO18 pic.twitter.com/4Blrm6ye9z

Not so fast, you two. That’s what the umpire had to tell Andreja Klepac and Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez after they mistakenly believed that a Hawk-Eye challenge revealed their match point lob attempt to be in.

They celebrated, and their opponents, Gabriela Dabrowski and Xu Yifan, even believed the ball was in.

But replay clearly showed that it was out—by a smidgen. Good job by the umpire, who clearly was paying attention.

Xu and Dabrowski won the final four points and claimed the victory, 7-6(7), 5-7, 12-10, to reach the semifinals.
