It isn't a double bounce imo. Looks like Med just picked it up at last second. At least you have to be heavily biased against Med to say it's a double bounce without looking at close-up.

Still looks like Med's there in time. You can't see the ball go up upon 2nd bounce. Anyway Klizan wasn't breadsticked because of that point.

No, actually all you need is a minimum knowledge in tennis and physics. As I said already, the trajectory of the ball tells everything. It's impossible for the ball to travel in such an arc if you hit it JUST before it bounces.

If he got his racquet under the ball, then 2-3 cm's which that is at best (not 10cm's) wouldn't be enough for that to work.

The physics make no sense.

At that point only his outer frame could get it which would squash the ball into the net.

Your twitter gif is an inferior visual, as it has no frame freeze or slow mo. It literally speeds up upon impact. In fact, even in your twitter gif it looks as if it's scooped after hitting ground.

Are you Russian or why are you denying this?

Medvedev even apologized for the fluke lob. 7:40 in this HQ video. Not you run of the mill shot, but it can happen. And it's clear in the video that ball is going down so don't know why are people even discussing this. Also, I'm Serbian but that's same as Russian, Slovakian, etc.
