In the midst of controversy, Belgium managed to qualify for the second round of the Davis Cup qualifiers, where they will face Australia in September. The match between Chilean Garin and Belgian Bergs was marked by a controversial situation that decided the outcome of the match.
During the match, Bergs accidentally hit Garin in the eye with his shoulder, which led the Chilean to complain to referee Manuel Franco Ojea. Despite Garin's discomfort, the referee decided to only caution Bergs, who immediately apologized. In response to this situation, Garin chose not to continue the match, resulting in a penalty of a game for his opponent, who ended up taking the victory.
The Chilean team's doctor indicated that Garin received a strong blow to the eye and head, which determined his decision not to continue in the match. The Chilean Olympic Committee expressed its dissatisfaction with the decision made by the referee at the end of the match, which concluded the Davis Cup series.
Amid the excitement over what seemed to be an advantage for Bergs, the Belgian collided with Garin at the end of the match as he was heading to his bench. Garin, who was performing well in the match, was affected by the situation and decided not to continue, which resulted in his opponent's victory.
The match between Bergs and Garin, which had reached the third set, was very competitive, with both tennis players fighting for victory. Despite the difficulties, the Belgian emerged victorious in a match that will be marked by the controversy and controversial decisions surrounding it.
