Two years ago to the day, Sergiy Stakhovsky made an expensive mistake. The French Open fined the Ukrainian $2,000 for whipping out his cellphone during a match and snapping a photo of a mark left in the clay by a ball that was ruled out — but which he felt was in.

With that in mind, he offered some friendly advice Wednesday to Steve Johnson after losing to the 56th-ranked American.

During the second set, Stakhovsky hit a serve that Johnson was sure was long. The chair umpire ignored Johnson's protestations.
