Britain’s Arthur Fery was accused of dishonesty by Bosnian opponent Damir Dzumhur following a row over a let call which proved instrumental in the home player’s Wimbledon victory.<\/p>\n
Wildcard Fery, 23, fought back from a set and 2-0 down to beat 34-year-old Dzumhur in a 3-6 6-2 6-2 6-1 victory.<\/p>\n
Afterwards Fery tried to downplay the incident, saying he feels Dzumhur creates controversy “with everyone”.<\/p>\n
The match turned on an incident in the fourth game of the second set when Dzumhur thought his serve at 15-30 had caught the tape.<\/p>\n
Umpire Greg Allensworth did not call a let, leading to Dzumhur complaining to the official and asking Fery if he could “look into” his eyes and “be honest”.<\/p>\n
Fery said he did not stop playing the point and Dzumhur stared at the Briton down the court before being broken back for 2-2.<\/p>\n
“I wouldn’t be able to play knowing that I did something that maybe is not true,” Dzumhur said afterwards.<\/p>\n
“I felt like he stopped, nobody called let. I didn’t ask him to replay but just to be honest, because I would do that. Obviously we are not all the same.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Britain’s Arthur Fery was accused of dishonesty by Bosnian opponent Damir Dzumhur following a row over a let…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":735676,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-735675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=735675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735675\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/735676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=735675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=735675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=735675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
