I will probably get bashed for this question but I've seen this so often now. Also I don't watch that much tennis so bear with me. At 1:24, the smash goes directly where her opponent is standing. Why not play the ball on the left side where it's much harder for her to hit it ? There are so many instances where in my opinion it's a free point but the player shoots directly towards the direction of the opposing player making it "easy" to return.
it would seem to depend on whether any part of the surface on the opponent's side of the net is considered "the opponent's court," or if that designation applies to a more specific area of the court surface, as per ITF rule 24g: "The point is lost if the player or the racket, whether in the player’s hand or not, or anything which the player is wearing or carrying touches...the opponent’s court at any time while the ball is in play."
@@nathanjen the ball can be hit while on the opponent's side of the net if it has already crossed into your side, but you still may not touch the opponent's court while the ball is in play. however, i'm unclear on whether "opponent's court" refers to the entire surface on the opponent's half of the court, only the space within the lines, or some other designated area of the court surface.
Krygios’ reaction 😅
That shot by Agassi in 1995 is still one of my all time favorites.

For me the 1000 IQ shot was Radwanska’s forehand slice against Vandeweghe in 2017❤

Glasspools shot is illegal no?
It’s allowed if the ball bounces back over the net
If the ball is bouncing over the other side of the net, you can bounce it off the court into their side of the net for a winner.

I didn’t in you could go on to your opponents side of the court and hit the ball though
