Australian tennis legend Todd Woodbridge has weighed into the Pablo Carreno Busta meltdown, saying the point that infuriated the Spaniard should have been replayed.

Carreno Busta was booed off the court in the wake of his five-set loss to Kei Nishikori, after he violently erupted when a decisive call went against him late in the decider.

The 23rd seed, who was leading 8-5 in the first-to-10-point deciding game, became irate when Nishikori was awarded a point, despite a linesman’s call being overturned.

A furious Carreno Busta was adamant the point should be replayed.

But the chair umpire Tom Sweeney wasn’t seeing eye-to-eye with the Spaniard, who went on to lose the next four points and the match, triggering one of the biggest tennis tantrums of all time.

However, Woodbridge — among other tennis greats — believes Carreno Busta was in the right.

“The call was wrong. It should have been a replay,” Woodbridge told Channel 9.

“I know my colleagues Jim Courier and Lleyton Hewitt, last night when they saw it, they thought the umpire made the right call.

“Tom Sweeney — who is a very good umpire — has made an assumption that point is going to be over because we saw Carreno Busta go to his left and leave the open court where the winner was going to.

“However, had he propped and gone the other way, then you have to replay the point. You can’t assume that it’s going to be a winner … It’s just too close.”

At the crux of Woodbridge, and indeed Carreno Busta’s, argument was that the Spaniard had stopped playing because the linesman incorrectly called a shot out.

It’s why Pat Cash also favoured a replay.

“By the rule, by the actual rule of the law, he should have replayed the point,” Cash said.

“The umpire should have replayed the point.”
