There was a strange moment of confusion in the second game of Alexander Zverev's French Open quarter-final with Tomas Martin Etcheverry as he walked away thinking he had served an ace, only to then realise it had been called out.
Zverev fired a big serve out wide with Etcheverry unmoved from his spot behind the baseline and no call coming from the line judge, but then chair umpire Alison Hughes called 'fault' by way of an overrule on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
Ad However, Hughes' ruling was certainly hard to hear as the crowd applauded what they thought was a pretty impressive ace from the German.
Equally, Zverev walked away, seemingly thinking it was the end of the game and he therefore needed to get ready to receive from his opponent.
