Controversial Umpiring Error Aids Cobolli in Upset Over Wawrinka at Shanghai Masters

Flavio Cobolli defeats Stan Wawrinka in a dramatic match marred by a scoring mistake, setting up a third-round clash with Novak Djokovic.

  • Flavio Cobolli defeated Stan Wawrinka in three sets: 6-7(6), 7-6(4), 6-3, during the second round of the Shanghai Masters.
  • An umpiring error by Carlos Bernardes incorrectly awarded Cobolli a point, contributing to a crucial break in the third set.
  • Neither Wawrinka, Cobolli, nor their entourages noticed the scoring error, which could have been reviewed with technology not available at the tournament.
  • The match was emotionally charged, with Wawrinka smashing his racquet in frustration after failing to convert a break point.
  • Cobolli will face his idol, Novak Djokovic, in the third round, marking their first encounter on the ATP Tour.
