Djokovic served
Nardi though it was out and hit a half hearted return and paused for a second or two
There was no call and since there is automated line calling there is no way to challenge
So Nardi gets back into the point
Djokovic hits a drop shot off of Nardi's return and then stops playing
Nardi gets to the drop shot and wins the point
Djokovic wants a hinderance called against Nardi and to be given the point
The umpire rightly stated that Nardi is allowed to just stand there and essentially give up on the point. If Nardi had done something like called the ball out or made some gestures about it being out he would have called the hinderance, but he kind of just stood there.
