Similar to Cameron Norrie in the opening round, Holger Rune got away with it when it came to a double bounce on Monday evening at Roland Garros.
Umpire Kader Nouni did not spot the fact that it clearly bounced twice at a critical moment and Cerundolo went onto be broken and priorly, he was penalised for putting away the smash with a ball kid already on the court.
The reason Cerundolo advanced was solely due to the double bounce and it left the crowd in disbelief at the French Open.
"Well, well, well. The umpire has made a huge mistake here. Would he have known that that was a double-bounce, Rune," said the Eurosport commentator Barry Cowan.
"Oh, so he penalised Cerundolo? But he didn’t stop, unless he said something, because I’ll see players stop in a point, and then all of a sudden they give them the fake."
Cavaday added: "Oh, no! Maybe it was because Cerundolo stopped playing. A big mistake and it’s so costly!
"He stopped before he hit the final shot because there was the double bounce from Rune. He hadn’t picked the ball up."

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
