When the ball looked to contact the ground at the net before looping over, the 22-year-old was involved in a contentious match point against Felix Auger-Aliassime. Umpire Greg Allensworth gave the point to the British player. Numerous athletes from both the past and present have weighed in on the controversy via social media. Former US Open champion Andy Roddick asserted that Draper would have known it was a foul shot, while Stefanos Tsitsipas shared a slow-motion video of the incident along with the caption, “Oh my!” Novak Djokovic called it “embarrassing” that there were no video replays available.
