The American won the game and held his serve in the set to win it. He then won the 3rd one as well completing the comeback. The Chilean was stunned by the call looking very confused as to why the line umpire would call it a foot fault with the replay showing that it was close. It's hard to tell whether it really was a foot fault but it changed the match instantly and Garin never quite recovered.
