   The red line indicates where ends the net that is purposed for the singles matches.
   If the net is extended for the doubles …like in Rotterdam… and the ball hits the netcord outside the red line during singles matches,
   it is treated as an invalid one, even when the ball lands on the opposite side of the court
   – it happened today during a Janowicz-Benneteau match in Rotterdam, and I didn’t know
   – just like Janowicz – why he lost the point.

   Examples of points won according to the rules:

   Around the post:
   Basic-Janowicz
   McEnroe-Lendl *
   12 other points around the post
   Federer’s points

   Weird net-cords:
   Clijsters-Rusova
   Dimitrov-Ferrer
   Blake-Ferrero (the post actually:)

   * it was later declared illegal
