Video - The Surprising Point Lost by Zhang Against Diallo
During their first-round match, which spanned two days due to rain, Zhizhen Zhang and Gabriel Diallo played a point that the Chinese player lost quite strangely.
After a first serve that allowed him to finish the point at the net, Zhang did not choose the right side on his forehand attack, before repeating the same mistake just after because of a somewhat weak smash (see video below).

This was all Diallo needed to stay alive in the rally, as the Canadian fought for every ball to eventually win the point with a nice defensive lob.
A point surprisingly lost by Zhang, but ultimately without consequence for him in this match.
