Can It Actually Get More Exciting In The ITA?



Just when you think you have heard it all and seen it all--something comes up that boggles your mind and imagination.  If it gets any more exciting in the ITA, I'm not sure anyone will be able to stand it...

Check out these two events that happened in the past couple of days:

MIND BOGGLING EVENT ONE

Male player A had served his first serve but was intentionally taking too long before serving his second serve.  The official gave him a "time violation warning" but then gave him a first serve because it took so long between the first and second serves.

Try to figure that one out but I imagine there will be a lot of players who miss their first serves that will be looking for their time violation warning...

MIND BOGGLING EVENT TWO

In a men's DI dual match, player A was overruled by the official.  After much protesting by Player A's coach, the official changed his mind and rescinded the overrule.  Then after much more protesting by Player B's coach, he rescinded his previous decision and went back to the original overrule.  

Absolutely mind-boggling!

I would like to think that neither official will ever work another match, but sadly I know that is probably not true.

Unfortunately they are working USTA events on a regular basis. As far as I know, they are no longer working ITA.
