Incomprehensible and dramatic. That's the only way to define what happened in the third point of the third game of the third set. It sounds like a tongue twister, but it isn't. Carlos played a drop shot after a great rally, and Draper arrived just in time, so much so that Lahyani thought the ball had bounced twice, leading to him stopping the point. The play was reviewed, and the chair umpire made a mistake, but they also checked when the point was stopped, whether it was before Carlos attempted to hit the subsequent ball or after. Something went wrong in the review because the point was awarded to Draper despite the chair umpire's call being clearly made before the Murcian's shot, influencing the outcome.
