Now that the people stepped aside a bit, it looks like a ball firmly stuck in the surface. Must have been smashed into the concrete aby Andreeva in one of her famous bursts of anger (latest point was won by Krueger)

I don't like the tournament in Austin. Yesterday they had a scoreboard and video outage for quite a while. Today their surfaces turn out soft enough for Andreeva to make balls stuck in the surface....
