In this video why did mizutani lose the 4th set last point in which mizutani was 9 and zhang jike was 10?

HI Saketh,
The incident happens at around 6:50. The umpire has called a fault for something. I would say it is because he has his body between the ball and the net during the serve.

also I think that he is hitting the ball a little bit beyond the line.
Do you mean end line or side line?
Julio Torres Posted 13 years ago
Both. but in this case the one that matters is the end line.
Great, just wanted to clear it up.

Yes I know, it's a common mistake that i made time ago of thinking that hitting the ball beyond the side line is ilegal...
