He finished the match on his serve but didn\u2019t seem to realize it, dropping back behind the baseline as if set to return. Only a few moments later did he figure out he had won, raising his arms in celebration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>self.__next_f.push([1,\"10:I[67601,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\"],\\\"WebVitalsReporter\\\"]\\n11:I[39683,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/1wl2c15zs45yj.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2cvdaqdj6b3le.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/25xqmyko4bd1p.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/1zszwruo21klp.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/04hvlg7gpzexw.js\\\"],\\\"SearchForm\\\"]\\n12:I[22016,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/1wl2c15zs45yj.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2cvdaqdj6b3le.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/25xqmyko4bd1p.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/1zszwruo21klp.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2mi1-7ppvquss.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2kg26p61_j72a.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/08_m29c1udgp4.js\\\"],\\\"\\\"]\\n13:I[79520,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\"],\\\"\\\"]\\n14:I[32700,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\"],\\\"ChartbeatTracker\\\"]\\n2:[\\\"$\\\",\\\"html\\\",null,{\\\"lang\\\":\\\"en\\\",\\\"dir\\\":\\\"ltr\\\",\\\"className\\\":\\\"playfair_9b22208d-module__j_-Mhq__className
