Curious, what would happen if that back spun back over the net? Would he have to play it?

I had the same question.

The point would be over, Benoit would win. In the scenario you bring up, it is the only time an opponent can reach over the net to hit ball

What @persianguy3 said, he would just need to make sure he doesn't touch the net which would be really difficult

Not really, you have to hit the ball in your side of the court. Then the racquet can follow through over the net to the other side

Google the phrase "tennis ball back spin over net".

It’s the other guys turn to play it even if it spun back over.

It is the only time in tennis when it's ok to hit the ball while it's on the other side of the net as well

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

If it comes back over without being touched, then it is the point of the person who hit it as soon as it lands.

8 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

However, in this specific case, the opponent is allowed to reach over the net to hit the ball before it lands

I would use this opportunity to go for my opponent's teeth
