The Toronto net gave way to a squeeze play.
A rare shot through the net escaped the chair umpire’s attention, but not the sharp eyes of Video Assistant Review.
During Gabriel Diallo’s 6-3, 7-6(5) win over Matteo Gigante at the National Bank Open on Wednesday, one of the Canadian’s drives went through the net and undetected by the chair umpire.
*Through* the net? 🤨

Watch Gigante successfully challenge the no-call and win the point when VAR showed the ball had indeed passed through the net right below the tape. Gigante won the call but ultimately lost the match.
