Stefanos Tsitsipas, the 9th-ranked player on the ATP Tour, met 91st-ranked Thiago Seyboth Wild in the round of 64 at the Indian Wells Open on Friday. Tsitsipas won in straight sets (6-2, 6-4), but still managed to miss one of the easiest shots of his entire career.
On match point Wild served and returned one volley before he went to the net. As he returned another volley, he slipped and fell and ended up laying on the ground right next to the net. All Tsitsipas had to do successfully return the volley between the lines and the match would have ended. Instead, he hit a backhand right into the net.
