So for some context - Zizou Bergs had just won the 1st Set 7-5 against the defending finalist, and this was in a rally in the second game, 2nd Set, with Tsitsipas up 1-0 with a break point at 30-40.
During a rally, Tsitsipas tries to hit a passing shot that Bergs reaches on a sharp backhand volley with an enormous amount of backspin, that somehow only just lands on the other side of the net and is going back on to his own side to seal the point..
And Tsitsipas somehow reaches the ballat full speed, swats it straight to the umpires chair to win the point, all while somehow avoiding the net as if he were straddling a tight rope, with the umpire in full view giving it the all clear.
Zizou Bergs, possibly named after Zinedine Zidane, never recovered from there, and Tsitsipas won comfortably in 4 sets.
