G.O.A.T.
Match point for me in 3rd set - I hit a putaway FH winner off a short ball at the service line. It lands about 6-8" inside the sideline for a clean winner, probably 6 ft inside the baseline, right in front of me, opposite side of court for him. To me it was extremely, clearly in, to the degree that it didn't even cross my mind that it could even be called out. I walk to the net and my opponent calls "out" when I am at the net.
I laugh because I thought it was a joke like "ah dang I lost match point, I'm calling it out! j/k." Then I said wait are you joking or are you serious? He said "I saw it out." I laughed and said wow...okay....deuce. He said why don't we replay the point? I said no, you saw it out, then it's deuce and started walking back to the service line. He recanted and said you know what I don't want to win with that, I'll call it in, good match." I was like wait are you sure? Because it's your call. And he said yeah he's sure, that I had a better look at it anyways. So I asked one more time and he said yeah, and we shook hands and I won the match.
We chatted afterwards and I expressed how I was sorry it ended like that, that I didn't mean to be rude by laughing, that I really thought he was joking with the call. He was cool and no issues between us.
But, what do you think of the event? Did anyone do anything wrong?
