Trailing 4-6, 3-5 in his Australian Open quarterfinal match against Lorenzo Musetti, Novak Djokovic needed a ball to bounce his way to get back into the match. That’s exactly what seemed to happen to Djokovic, on serve and up 30-15. The 24-time major winner landed an approach shot that forced Musetti to head towards the net. The Italian flicked a passing shot that a lunging Djokovic appeared to miss—and it was fortunate that he had, for the shot landed out.
But Djokovic admitted that the ball had grazed his racket, meaning he had actually lost the point.
