Draper knew. You can tell, because the first thing he does when the ball is dead is look at the umpire. Draper doesn't immediately celebrate his win as you would if you hit a clean shot. Nope. He immediately looks to the umpire instead, to see which way he calls the point. Draper KNEW there was an issue with his hit. And as soon as the umpire mentions 'ruling'--but BEFORE he clarifies the ruling is about a 'fair shot', Draper looks behind himself to where he hit the shot. Again, it's because he knew there was an issue. How could he not know, he's a pro tennis player who's hit a million shots & knows how a shank into the ground feels & reacts. I mean, FAA back at his own baseline was able to make the correct call, lol. For many tennis fans, Draper will go down in our esteem despite having won. And FAA will go up in our esteem despite having lost. Because tennis is about more than shots, it's also about sportsmanship & how you conduct yourself.

With so much advancement in the technology, it's ridiculous to have these debates. It's so easy to have the challenge system in situations like this. Even if the umpire is sure, if the player feels otherwise, it would have taken less time to just have a replay and decide. In cricket, we do have DRS to resolve this. Seeing instances like this time and again now and this affects players mentally more than just a win or a loss.

I play college-level tennis several hours a week and have for 30 years. You know when you hit a ball into the ground (or trap it in this case). You can hear it - you can feel it - but you can't see it because nobody watches the ball into exact contact. But it is painfully, painfully, painfully obvious when the ball shanks up at such a trajectory. There is no other way to get that to happen without severely opening the face of the racket or hitting the top of the frame. All the pro players have 100x more experience than me - all the players know this. The officials should be trained on this but they are not. Kudos to Felix for the cool head. I like Jack but he wasn't looking at Felix while volleying (that's ridiculous) and I think he'll look back with regret on this.

Draper knew it was a bad shot. He looks down as it happens because he knows what occurred. Watch his eyes in slo-mo. Then he looks to the ref instead of automatically celebrating like all players do upon winning legitimately. So much for good sportsmanship. And qualified judging.

Lol! Why are there so many people here defending the umpire and Jack??? At 1:08 it's pretty clear that the ball hits Jack's racquet and _THEN_ hits the ground on Jack's side of the court before going over the net! Some of the comments on this video are making me feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Too many people enjoy going against the grain. No one with an access to KZbin, and a good pair of eyes (glasses), ability to judge body language, can be confused by what happened here. Draper knew he missed the ball the moment he hit it. His instinctive reaction is that of being resigned and angry. Notice that at no point is he defending this as his point. He wants to "replay" it. That seems to ease his guilty conscience.

@flavienhirsch1393 There's one frame where the ball is wedged between the racquet frame and the ground. Then it pops up and Draper hits it with his strings. So it is an illegal shot but not in the way everyone is saying.

Of course JD knew the ball bounced on the floor; otherwise, it wouldn't have traveled at such an angle. Just look at his body language-he's fully aware of it. As many have rightly pointed out in the comments, if the ball did bounce, he'd lose the point. Kudos to FAA for keeping his composure and avoiding a confrontation with JD.

@nightowldickson2 ай бұрын
watching the actual point at the beginning of the video, it's pretty easy to tell the ball bounced. Draper's racquet face was not open enough for the ball to go over the net if it had hit the strings. Not to mention the sound the ball made when it hit the ground, that was a loud rubber sound after the point of contact.
@benjaminpedersen95482 ай бұрын
The idea would be that it hit the ground and then bounced into the racket frame. I don't think anyone thinks it hit the strings. I see it as hitting the frame and then the ground. Everything points to that, in my opinion, however, the racket is basically a ball diameter from the ground at contact, so I do get a bit why people may see it differently. Maybe Draper was too caught up in the emotions of the match but he should definitely be able to feel the difference.
