Opponent 1 hits the ball into net (trying a drop shot)
Opponent 2 come running from baseline to get to drop shot, in process cannot stop himself and touches the net after the ball hits the net.
My thinking is point is over (loss) for opponent 1 as soon as he hit the net.
However, opponent 1 is arguing that if the ball hit the tape it had a chance to go over,
but opponent 2 hitting the net did not give the ball the chance to come over, hence opponent 1 wins point!
-- whats the rule for this scenario?
(other scenario) I think opponent 2 loses the point if he touched net before the ball reached net.
