@@daisydupe8971 hitting the opponent is your point in a few different racquet/paddle sports. Because it hit her before hitting the court it was the servers point.
The chair umpire is actually wrong here though. The ball passed under the net cord, through the gap where there *should have been* net. According to the rules, that means it’s Ferrero‘s point. Strange but true

I like how both Blake, Ferrero and the umpire all understood the situation and the rules and laughed and moved on. Something that some #nextgen players need to learn.
@@christen1717 The serve can only be counted as out if the ball actually touches the grass. And since the ball was accidentally volleyed, we can never know if the ball would have gone out or in... What's more, volleying a serve is not allowed, so even if the volley would have gone in, the point would be lost. I don't know the rule if the person was hit first, not the racket. Will it be the same then? Anyone?
I thought maybe Blake's one is invalid because it goes in the spot where the net is coming away from the pole? On courts I've played on if there's a gap between the post and net they call it invalid, but I'm not sure here.
My favourite is ivanesevic second serve ace facing match point...i was his fan and watched this in absolute horror...at the end ivanesevic won the match...
Who else thought they would show Ivanovic vs Dechy '08 matchpoint saved by the net cord? I mean, it looks like they used Ana's pic from 08 for the thumbnail.
It doesnt have to. As long as it falls in the opponent's side of the court, it's good. We sometimes see balls going round the net, clearly lower that the net, and still being good :)
@@louisjamin7195 Doesn't necessarily have to go over, but it cannot go through the net and count as a good return. Under Rule 25: "It is a good return if: a. The ball touches the net, net posts/singles sticks, cord or metal cable, strap or band, provided that it passes over any of them and hits the ground within the correct court"
0:57 This is the comment I was looking for. Ball clearly goes through the net. If it goes around the post net height is irrelevant as there's no point of reference. But this shot didn't go around the post, it just went through the net lol.
