Istomin hailed for overrule honesty

India's Karan Rastogi (below) hailed Denis Istomin (right) as an "incredible champion" after the Uzbek top seed overruled a line call on match point in their Asian Games men's tennis quarterfinal on Sunday.

Istomin, the world No 40, would have won the match if he had accepted the chair umpire's judgment that a Rastogi forehand was out.

However, the Uzbek called the ball good before eventually going on to win 6-2, 4-6, 7-5 to reach the semifinals.
