Another Debacle! Bergs Knocks Down Garin in Collision, But Garin Is Defaulted, What's Going On?

Описание: In case you missed it, Belgium’s Zizou Bergs collided with Chile’s Cristian Garin during their Davis Cup match, knocking Garin to the ground. While Bergs apologized immediately, the umpire gave Garin—not Bergs—the code violations, ultimately defaulting him from the match.

Was this the right call? The Davis Cup rules seem clear: physical contact like this should warrant a default. Yet, ITF Supervisor Carlos Ramos ruled it an "unfortunate accident" and let Belgium advance. Should post-match sanctions be introduced for incidents like this? Can the officiating get any more incompetent?
