In this video why did mizutani lose the 4th set last point in which mizutani was 9 and zhang jike was 10?

HI Saketh,

The incident happens at around 6:50.  The umpire has called a fault for something.  I would say it is because he has his body between the ball and the net during the serve.

also I think that he is hitting the ball a little bit beyond the line.

Do you mean end line or side line?

Both. but in this case the one that matters is the end line.

Yes I know, it's a common mistake that i made time ago of thinking that hitting the ball beyond the side line is ilegal...
