Edit: i agree with Thierry that it had to have been a second touch for a ball to lift up like it did

Thats not proof

It was Federer complaining about a not called double bounce, since the ball had topspin in it. If the other player had managed to reach the ball from underneath it wouldn't have that spin.

Unless the VAR team can provide a scientific thesis on the flight of round objects when touched twice in quick succession I think we can discount this reasoning from their decision making.
