6:09 I'm confused here. Aren't digs allowed to be doubles/lifts when it's a hard driven ball?
Or is it only doubles that are allowed when digging hard driven balls?

[@MeepMeep88]

Assuming the ref is SUPER lenient one might even call it a "block" since there's no determined distance as to what "near the net" is in the rule book. And we all know with blocks, doubles/ "rolling off the hands" / prolonged contacts are allowed (hence swat blocks)

[@sharkh20]

Also depends on if that hit was considered hard driven. Think it was a pull dig on a non hard driven ball.

[@vbsand5882]

Alix did that dig all day long and twice on Sunday

[@bgrl6422]

doubles are allowed on first contact if I remember correctly, given it is in one action and does not make use of the fingers (as in is not a "setting motion"). It looks like the ball rolled over her fingers, but the ball was a high and quick shoot (debatably a hit) so it's not like she had much to think about how to play that. Very strict and arguable call.
