it must have been the biggest ever brain fart to want to be first in front for the victory photo, not even noticing that there was no crowd cheering or player reaction to indicate end of match. Or somehow this is his first tennis gig
Allensworth did follow the official rule for serve reset, it's just a sketchy situation to give Bonzi another full crack at a 1st on match point, right after he had already failed to land a 1st. Neither unhinged Meddy nor the drunk crowd knows this, so Allensworth just sits there and lets the frenzy build for an insane amount of time.
He could have slapped Meddy with a code violation but that probably would have just made things worse. Maybe he gets on the mic and explains that it's the rule and he cannot deviate, or maybe the tourney director says something?
