Finally amidst rain delays, Carlos Alcaraz got over the line against Tommy Paul, but not without hilarious scenes too as the American produced a wayward serve which hit the umpire.
Paul unleashed a powerful serve that instead of going to Alcaraz went the other direction and not being able to react in time, it hit the left side of his face near his eye.
It made a loud noise and stunned everyone which saw Paul immediately run over to apologise also likely to avoid a code violation.
But despite being visibly shaken, the umpire waved off the incident. Albeit it slightly affected Paul going forward in the clash.
"It's okay. It's okay. I just... Maybe I... It's good I didn't see it. That's okay," the umpire reassured Paul who rushed to check on the umpire.
