First of all, great work guys for the video.
But no one called Kieran's foot faults?

[@1nf3ct3dTT]

not all of them are but many of them he lifted the foot before contact. super hard to tell without frame by frame though

[@mariussnoeck]

Can someone pls call Kieran's foot faults ? It's crazy that 3 observers can't see it

[@trevorcook277]

Counted.. 15 out of 20 serve attempts were clear foot faults :(

[@guh1529]

I think a lot of them are closer than you think. He starts picking up his foot right when the ball is hitting the net.

[@umutrenk1857]

@@guh1529nope, i slowed it down

[@rinne-8810]

@@trevorcook277 I'm very confused. What's the exact rule? Can you time stamp some of his foot faults?

[@umutrenk1857]

Foot faults are real

4:25 an etienne classic

[@jaredbeaufait5954]

12:19 how did u guys get this angle i fucking love this angle change

[@jaredbeaufait5954]

would love a better stat breakdown like defensive touches

[@nathanbenjamin1577]

7:26 nothing like the sting of getting aced after asking someone to line up better

[@jaredbeaufait5954]

love jacob’s commentary here

[@jaredbeaufait5954]

15:24 this hit is so sick

[@finnfogal2581]

what happened 11:15?

[@theroundnetwork]

Paq was standing in Etienne's swing-path and mentions jamming his thumb on Paq. Automatic loss of point for Numb (avoidable hinder)

[@finnfogal2581]

@@theroundnetwork oh didn't catch that

[@yannicneu1073]

But did he not stand opposite of the set and outside of the cylinder (not sure on that one)? If both previous points are like i said, is it still an avoidable hinder? Because that would make any body defense not viable if the hitter decides to full swing through and swing into the defender

[@bdantowitz]

@@yannicneu1073 I think the big catch here is whether the defender tries to get out of the hitter's way. Paq ends up with his foot in front of Etienne's... a little close for comfort and a safety risk where Etienne jams his thumb.
Body defense is definitely viable and we see it all throughout this series, but the defender cannot just stand wherever they want; they have to give room for safety to the hitter.
