The spectators who came to the match of two not very well-known American tennis players certainly could not regret it after its end. Not only did they see a thrilling three-tier battle, which, after sets 5: 7, 7: 6 and 6: 4, was dominated by the worse-ranked Eubanks, but they witnessed perhaps the most curious serve in history.
–
He was taken care of by the 72nd player in the world, Cressy, in the second set at 3: 4 and 30: 0. He managed to hit the ball with the frame of the racket and thanks to that he probably got such a rotation that Eubanks was without a chance. The balloon landed just behind the net, from where it bounced into the car. It was also probably the slowest service of all time, only 41.8 km / h.

No one understood what had happened. But everyone agreed that they had never seen anything like it in their lives and had a lot of fun. It is possible that the wind helped Cressy’s point, which made the tennis players quite angry during the match.

The second set eventually reached a tie-break, which was dominated by the 157th player in the leaderboard. In the third set, a single break was decided, and Eubanks advanced to the second round, where he will face Nor Ruud, who is in the top ten on the ATP circuit.
