In the video, there were also some controversial moments that were featured. Two of those moments involved the use of the underarm serve by Davidovich Fokina and Bublik. Their opponents were very angry and went on a rant against them.

Another controversial moment featured Novak Djokovic in the ATP Cup. In his match, he crossed the net for an easy volley, and hence, the umpire took away the point. An argument ensued, but eventually, Djokovic lost the point.

Finally, topping the list for the most bizarre moment of 2020 was a foot fault. To challenge this foot fault, VAR was used, but it was unfortunately not visible on the big screen. To convince himself, the player climbed onto the umpire’s chair to see the VAR. It was a hilarious moment, and fans would have surely enjoyed watching it.
