When Musetti was down 3-5 in the second set and was about to serve, he kicked the ball that the ball was thrown by the ball, and the ball accidentally hit the line judge on the side, Musetti immediately raised his racket to apologize to the line judge, and Tiafoe signaled his opponent's behavior to the main judge, and finally Musetti was given a warning by the main judge for violating the spirit of sports.

Asked after the game, Tiafoe said: 'He did it and nothing happened, I think it's ridiculous, but nothing happened, so I don't have much to say, obviously the criteria are not consistent, that's it anyway. ”

After this incident, foreign media re-brought up past examples of disqualifications for mishitting the line, including Djokovic at the 2020 US Open, and Japanese doubles player Miyuki Kato who mistakenly hit the ball in the women's doubles round of 16 at the French Open in 2023.

Australian doubles star Rennae Stubbs also pointed out in the community that Musetti was quite lucky, "He (missed the line judge) is really lucky to be on the court, I know he didn't mean it, but no one did it on purpose, it's really bad." ”

Musetti called the incident an "unfortunate coincidence" in the post-match press conference, and admitted that he was a little scared at the moment of the incident, "Of course I didn't want to hurt anyone, so I immediately apologized to the online judge, and the judge was right, I think the chief judge saw that I didn't mean it, which may be the reason why he let me continue the game." ”
