There was plenty of drama when Maria Sakkari took on Karolina Pliskova in the Round of 16 at the ongoing BNP Paribas Open.In the eighth game of the third set, Pliskova felt that Sakkari's racquet had touched one of her returns, which eventually went off the court. Video replays seemed to corroborate that, but the chair umpire didn't see the incident and Sakkari denied that the ball had touched her racquet. The point, therefore, was awarded to the Greek.The incident has elicited calls for video replays to be used in the sport, as the tweets below indicate:The Tennis Letter@TheTennisLetterA little drama in the Karolina Pliskova vs Maria Sakkari Indian Wells matchFrom what I can see, it looks like Maria’s racquet touched the ball & the point should’ve been awarded to Karolina.I still don’t understand why tennis doesn’t use video replay for stuff like this..34625A little drama in the Karolina Pliskova vs Maria Sakkari Indian Wells matchFrom what I can see, it looks like Maria’s racquet touched the ball & the point should’ve been awarded to Karolina.I still don’t understand why tennis doesn’t use video replay for stuff like this.. https://t.co/e1kKWalf7bTennis Talk@thetennistalk1@TheTennisLetter we need VAR to avoid this stuff231@TheTennisLetter we need VAR to avoid this stuffTK421@TK42130112795@TheTennisLetter You need a side camera and an above camera shot to confirm, or at least the cricket sensor which lets the umpire know when the ball hits the pads/bat2@TheTennisLetter You need a side camera and an above camera shot to confirm, or at least the cricket sensor which lets the umpire know when the ball hits the pads/batVlastimil Zlámal@VlastimilZlamal@TheTennisLetter Whole tennis is a joke.

Sakkari admitted that things got so so bad that she didn't want to be on the court."Yeah. I mean, last year there were a couple of weeks, maybe more. One of them was San Jose, I just couldn't be on the court. I wanted, but I couldn't. It's not like I was going on the court to tank the match. I didn't want to be there. It's just I couldn't. Madrid I was also struggling big time. I mean, there were a few, yes, and I'm a human being. I think I'm allowed also to have those weeks," she said after her win over Kalinina.
